Catania 1 v Roma 2
Formality over, and that’s precisely what it looked like: a formality. The game was as much terrible as it was painfully boring, especially towards the second half - at least for me. I’ve had more exciting prostate exams. And, quite frankly, it had the feel of a friendly. (Just like […]

Roma Through. Hooray.
Catania 1 (1) v Roma 1 (2)
GAME
89′ Another foul on Espo. Somebody needs to check that stat. He gets fouled at least 2-3 times every game he comes on.
88′ Curci catching crosses like he’s shagging flies before a baseball game.
87′ Antunes fires one wide. He did quite well today for what was required […]
Coppa Italia Non-Preview

So there’s a semi-final cup game tomorrow. Against Catania. Against a team in very serious danger of relegation which has a game in three days. Against Juventus.
Color me shocked they didn’t call up the women’s team. They’ve got about as much depth as the Vatican City national team and a Coppa Italia final run […]

Roma v Catania
Let’s get this straight off the bat, shall we: The Primavera should walk through Catania on the way to the final. On paper, this isn’t even a contest. This is reminiscent of the opening legs against Torino when Roma was down 3-1 on aggregate after 135 minutes then spent 3/4 of an hour […]

Who Wants A Vargas?
Pietro Lo Monaco, Catania’s sporting director, has been saying for quite some time now that when Juan Manuel Vargas gets sold, the preferred destination is Roma. Not really sure why, could be that he has a school-boyish crush on Mama Rosella, or could simply be that he’s an intelligent, well-reasoned man and […]

Coppa!
Good stuff. Sure as hell was a lot less exciting than the second leg against the Granata, though. Anyway, I’ve had my fill of Torino and Sampdoria to last me until next season and beyond. So we’re moving on. Today we will find out the opponent who will succumb to the wrath that is CoppaRoma […]
Liveblogging The Coppa, Return Leg Style
By: chris | 139 Comments
Since Roma just sprung this game on me and didn’t tell me it was today and not tomorrow (which I don’t appreciate one bit), I’ll Liveblog the game in lieu of any sort of preview.
As we know, Roma put in a helluva performance last week to take a nice little lead into the return leg […]
10 Things We Learned From Sampdoria
By: chris | 96 Comments
Since it’s the first leg of a Coppa matchup and I liveblogged it, I’m cheating and going the easy route.
Roma can play some footy with 10 men.
For much of the game, Roma was the better side. They fell victim to the fact that they had one less man at times, but as much is […]
Liveblogging The Coppa, Samp Style

Samp - Roma
Here we go, into the darkness that is illegal streaming from the jungles of Asia. I always get my feelings for the liveblogs via my coffee purchasing experience just before the game starts (I have no idea whether it works out, but run with it), and let’s just say I’m not feeling good […]

Sampdoria - Roma
Last Wednesday evening, around 9:30 Italian time (I think), things on the Coppa side of town looked pretty dire to say the very least. It was halftime and the score was nil-nil, with Torino leaing 3-1 on aggregate. Flash forward 45 minutes and Torino was walking off the field as though they were […]
