Italy 2-1 Montenegro: Aquilani Double Gives Marcello Lippi 30-Game Unbeaten Streak (World Cup 2010 Qualifiers)

3
Lippi isn't the kind of guy concerned with critique or running after world records, and I'm sure most of us here would agree getting three points out of a match (such as Italy did today against Montenegro) is the most important thing. Yet, it must come as great satisfaction when someone tells you you've officially [. Click to continue reading...

Roma: Nessuna lesione per Aquilani, ma a Genova non ci sarà

0
Nessuna lesione muscolare per Alberto Aquilani: è questo il responso degli esami medici effettuati stamattina dalla Professoressa Giannini a Villa Stuart. Il centrocampista soffre di una distrazione al retto femorale, problema risolvibile in pochi giorni, ma che non gli permetterà di esserci nel turno infrasettimanale contro il Genoa.

Italy 2 - 0 Georgia Highlights

1
Thank you Mr. De Rossi for your two goals against Hector Cuper's Georgia and what goals they were.  With a canon shot in the 16th minute, coming from over 25 yards out, Daniele De Rossi would provide Italy the match winner.  No chance for the Georgian keeper as De Rossi's kick from straight out was rising and curved into [.

Le parole di Alberto Aquilani dal ritiro della Nazionale.
«Il rinnovo del mio contratto è un'agonia più per voi che per me. Sono state fatte tante chiacchiere e detta anche qualche bugia. Non è vero che ho rifiutato offerte della Roma.

Lippi’s list of 50

4

So it seems to be a FIFA rule that each national team manager must submit a mega-list of 50 players that will be available for selection for World Cup qualifying games. I'm unsure about the rules of this list and if/when players can be changed or added (and info about these lists are hard to find, the list was unveiled by a Fiorentina website) but it does show you the players that the national team manager has in consideration.

Aquilani-Roma, niente fretta

3
La sua preoccupazione, ieri, era riparare il finestrino danneggiato domenica sera dall'esuberanza dei tifosi. Alberto Aquilani, centrocampista della Roma, sta vivendo il suo momento un po' così con l'animo abbastanza tranquillo. Ci vuole coraggio, in una piazza passionale come quella romanista, per dire "i tifosi ragionano da tifosi e io li capisco, ma noi calciatori siamo professionisti e dobbiamo usare la testa in modo diverso".

Vincenzo Morabito is a name we've heard a lot in recent times.

He was the man who Alexander Hleb went to meet for an ice-cream but at no stage discussed a transfer to Inter Milan with. No sir. He's also the man who said that Roma's Alberto Aquilani was 'speaking to Arsenal' back in May.
