There is a price for everything. Sir Alex Ferguson declared indignantly in December that he wouldn’t sell the Real Madrid mob a virus, not to mention his crowning jewel, Cristiano Ronaldo, but when an astronomical £80 million check is waved enticingly, principles can be swayed.
Last week, Real Madrid shocked the football community with [...]

-That didn’t take long. I was wondering how long before a sports writer would point out Roger Federer’s French Open victory (and 14th Grand Slam title) was over Robin Soderling and NOT Rafael Nadal. Read it this morning in a paper. Gee, and this is supposed to diminish the victory how exactly? How’s it Roger’s [...]

And so another season came to a close in Serie A in what turned out to be an exciting campaign in Italy despite all the controversy in recent years. Let’s recall that the Renaissance was born into and bequeathed a brilliant cultural and historical legacy amidst much political chaos. It’s the Italian way.
While the Scudetto [...]

As a neutral observer of the 2nd leg match between Barcelona and Chelsea, please allow me to convey my sober but middling and borderline lexaphanic thoughts given the passionate explosiveness witnessed.

The excellent soccer writer Rob Hughes offers his thoughts in “Amid Passion and Grief, Reminders That Italy Remains a Sleeping Giant”.

This article by Alessandro Nicolo first appeared in April 2007. In light of the recent events in Montreal regarding the firing of Guy Carbonneau of the Montreal Canadiens, the issue of language and coaching has come up again.
