Good morning my friends.  How are you?   I am so nervous awaiting for the mega World Cup Semifinal Brazil vs Germany!   Headlines calling the game Colossal… and you bet it is.  What a pressure for Brazil without the ex AC Milan defender Thiago Silva missing the game after getting the second yellow card.  Moreover, forward Neymar also missing for injury.  Lazio forward Miroslav Klose will look to score his 16th goal for Germany in   World Cup.

Love the headline on Coach Roberto Mancini saying to lead Italy is an honor.

“Brazil lost Neymar. Zuniga threats problem. Higuain goal for Argentina. Osvaldo-Vargas for Prandelli. Netherlands in, Costa Rica eliminated,” Front Pages La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport, Sunday 6 July 2014

Good morning my friends.  How are you?  Any plans for Sunday?  I have a busy day and planning for a barbeque with some friends.    So, allow me to offer you a cup of coffee or tea and share the news.  Wow, mamma mia.  I am in total shock after reading the problems going on for Napoli midfielder Juan Camilo Zuniga receiving even death threats after committing the foul on Brazil forward Neymar resulting in a fractured vertebra.   It’s just sad because Neymar will be out at least for 2 months.   The incident happened during the World Cup Quarterfinals game Brazil vs Colombia.  Zuniga publicly apologizing stating that it was not intentional, but threats continue.

On the other hand, my friends, I am very happy to see the headlines praising Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain!  Wohooo! Yep!  Higuain scored the only goal for Argentina against Belgium to secure the victory and qualification to the Semifinal after 24 years!  Imagine, just how proud I feel and you bet all Napoli fans to see one of our Serie A players being a protagonist in the World Cup.

Serie A transfer market news are still going up and down….  It seems the biggest news for the moment is AS Roma getting free Ashley Cole as he no longer associated with Chelsea!   Hum…  Forward Alberto Gilardino seeming to join Lippi and go to China……  what? Inter defender Walter Samuel to Sampdoria??? oh well…. just a rollercoaster…..

Good morning my friends.  How are you?  Ready for work or school?   Another day off, World Cup games will resume on Friday 4 July with the quarterfinals!!  Serie A market going wild and now even AC Milan reportedly saying that forward Mario Balotelli is for sale…and not just at any price, but for €30 million.

I love the headlines on how to restart to improve Italian football. Come on guys, it’s just unacceptable to see Italian football doing so bad… plus the outburst from Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentis sending everybody home…  Hum?  do you agree with De Laurentis suggestion of having Serie A reduced from 20 to 16 teams?

Change or disappear
Italian football, Year Zero
National disaster
The death of Ciro
Here is how to restart
The crisis of our ball is serious and complicated not just a matter of naming candidates to govern it.
We inquire on the bad things and look to understand on how to heal them.

First episode:
The talents lost: a look into the youth systems.
Strama: “We need B teams right away.”

The surprise
Galatasaray want Prandelli and the ex-coach is very tempted
He would restart from the Champions League and from…
Muslera, his destiny could cross with that of Mancini, candidate for Italy after his goodbye from Istanbul.

Market
Juve now double up with Iturbe and Morata
The Argentine tweets: “Patience, only the final swoop is needed.” And Berlusconi jr. pampers Balotelli: “He is number one.”

The news, but Nicchi says no to technology
“Referees with spray in Serie A and Serie B.”

Brazil 2014
A World Cup without owners
Great balance, a lot of surprises and tomorrow it restarts like this.
The eight group winners go to the Quarter-Finals: the level remains high.
Neymar encourages the Selecao: “The psychologist helped us.”

The testimony
Escobar’s brother: “Passion has returned in Colombia.”

Nastasic, Roma-Juve challenge
City request for Benatia. Iturbe, Bianconeri ultimatum.

De Laurentiis attacks football
“Everyone at home!”
“For the federation there should be a commissioner, Serie A with 16 clubs and no limit on non-EU’s. In B and Lega Pro there should be young Italians.”

Prandelli, at the end yes to the Turks
Galatasaray convince the ex-coach of the national team.

Towards the Quarterfinals
World Cup for eight: Messi the star, but the German cocktail is perfect

Moratti-Inter is divorce: He doesn’t appreciate Thohir’s direction

Milan have decided, Balotelli for sale for €30 million

Zeman unleashed: “With Cagliari because I believe in the project.”

Juve emissary in Manchester.
Voila’ Evra
The Bianconeri return to push for the Frenchman who has given his ok. But United must still be convinced. A collaborator of Conte’s in Brazil to see Balanta against Neymar in person.

Iturbe: blows with AC Milan. Sanchez is farther.

Exclusive interview
Nocerino to Toro, what a move
Cairo and Petrachi on the move: the midfielder joins Toro on loan from Milan who will pay half of his wages. And Quagliarella…

He attacks De Rossi and heats up the fans.
Cagliari, Zeman show: “Astori is up for sale.”

Fiorentina: Octavio from Botafogo.
Gila towards China. Borriello to Genoa?

Mazzarri signs: “Inter at the top.”
AC Milan, for Balotelli there is Monaco or Liverpool
