Seeing that picture with Baresi’s number, the remembrance we saw at the first home game, got me wondering: Can Milan be great again? With the season fully underway and the mercato finally closing a few days ago, we’re ready with our latest Season Preview ever. This is not my preferred way to do it but […]

A season…preview…not if you know the reference in the graphic atop of this post! (I know I probably dated myself but that’s from the Twilight Zone…I’d say look it up but there’s a link I just provided). It feels like we’re in the Twilight Zone right now with an incomplete squad, little practice time, and

As you all know, this summer has been crazy busy, both in soccer/football but also for me personally. While I haven’t been able to write much this summer, it doesn’t mean I haven’t been tracking what’s been going on and it’s been a big motivation of mine to make sure I comment more in the

Is this what we wanted? It’s not what I wanted. How about you? Semifinals Roundup Not much to say. I missed both games. I thought the teams that ended up winning, Spain and Argentina could win, but I thought France and England were playing better and that would carry them. It didn’t, clearly. France over

The top 4 teams in FIFA rankings entering the tournament are the last 4 teams standing. Boring? Exactly right? Let’s talk about it. Quarterfinals Roundup So, my quarterfinal predictions were better than my Round of 16, rebounding from 50% correct to 75% correct (but still lower than my predictions for who would make the knockouts

We just had our first off day for the World Cup in almost a month?!… But the break gave me more time to get another post up about the next round of the tournament: the quarterfinals! The quarterfinals have weeded down the expanded field of 48 and 5 of the top 8 in FIFA rankings

It’s been a fun and exciting tournament so far and the expansion to 48 teams and a 32-team knockout stage has mostly been met with joy and appreciation. There’s been some unevenness to it that will hopefully get ironed out (like ease of path for some teams compared to others) but overall I think it’s

I was going to add to the title, Italians Need Not Apply, like early 20th century America, but didn’t want to get dinged on the Google search, LOL. In all seriousness, Italy is missing their 3rd straight World Cup and for fans of the most iconic club team from Italy, Italians and non-Italians alike, this
Disaster. Just a complete disaster. From the management to the coaching box. No European competitions to worry about. Yes, some early season injuries but a mostly healthy squad during the second half of the season, especially the final 2-3 months. Basically what Napoli had last season (now 2 seasons ago), who rode those circumstances to
