Good morning my friends and I really mean “Good morning.”  It’s just a spectacular morning because World Cup is finally over and we have a champion:  Yep… Germany are the 2014 FIFA World Cup after defeating Argentina with the goal by forward Mario Gotze in the 113th minute.   Germany 1 – 0 Argentina.

Surely, the front pages are all for Germany who waited 24 years to win a World Cup now equaling Italy having won 4 World Cup each.  Great seeing Germany Lazio forward Miroslav Klose becoming the top scorer in World Cup history with 16 goals.

I am just happy reading the front pages and watching the news.  It’s now time to archive the World Cup and focus again in the Serie A.  Outstanding job by all Serie A players participating in the World Cup with their respective national teams.

On Italian Serie A market, headlines now almost a done deal with forward Fabio Quagliarella most likely transferring from Juventus to Torino. Yep. Reportedly, Juventus not even calling up Quagliarella and he is indeed meeting with Torino president Urbano Cairo.   A heated market is that of the Frenchman Grenier because AC Milan and Inter are dueling to sign Grenier!

Having say that…. it’s also Inzaghi Mania!!! AC Milan fans are just wild embracing the ex player as the new coach and feeling optimistic for a Milan revival…..  well, allow me now to prepare my coffee… have a good Monday morning and thanks for visiting my blog, you can share your comments too.

Good morning my friends.   What a lovely Sunday morning!!! wohooo… I hope you are all happy too awaiting for the World Cup Final match Germany vs Argentina. Oh yeah!  You bet all headlines, main attention is for the match to find out who will be crowned as World Cup Champions!!!   Mamma mia… I will need an entire Coffee pot to be awake!!!!

Headlines practically for Argentina forward Lionel Messi to be the decisive player now or never again!  Yep.  I totally agree with the headlines that Messi can write history if he becomes the fundamental player for Argentina victory and can be compared to great one Diego Armando Maradona.   Yet, come on guys, it’s not an easy task because on the other side you have a strong Germany with 2 great leaders such as Muller and Lazio forward Miroslav Klose!!!!!   Wow, wow, wow…. who will win????   As for the World Cup 3rd place headlines.. oh well, we have to order Tylenol for Brazil team again humiliated.  Netherlands crushed Brazil with a flat 3-0!!!!!!  Brazil ended the tournament as the team conceding more goals a smacking 14 altogether, which includes 10 in the last 2 games.. OUCH!

Back to Serie A headlines, I love the one about AC Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi being strict with the players.  Awesome!  I love the fact that cell phones are not allowed in the dressing room neither practice session and not at the table… I guess eating time!!!!  Just about time!!!  Players should concentrate for training and not be concerned about who is calling or texting….   For Milan the pressure is high and demand for total concentration is a must!

Well, guys, enjoy the headlines and have a delicious snack to enjoy the game.!

Good morning my friends.   I am so happy today awaiting for the World Cup 3rd place game between Brazil vs Netherlands.  How are you?  Are you planning to watch the game. I am!  Come on, I totally agree with the headlines that although Brazil is playing for the 3rd place, the fans  still don’t forgive them.  And here, my friends, I include myself because I expected way more from Brazil who disappointed big time never showing a consistent and convincing game losing the semifinal against Germany with a mega goleada 7-1.

Cheer up guys!   Italy team might not be in the World Cup final, but hello, hello, hello,…. Italian born referee Nicola Rizzoli has been assigned to direct the final match Argentina – Germany!!! wohoooo… plus, remember there are 7 Italian Serie A players with Argentina and 2 with Germany… so “an Italian” presence is at the final.

Ok, guys, the headline upsetting me big time is that of AC Milan forward Mario Balotelli !!!!  What is this guy thinking????? Come on, it’s about time that Balotelli start to grow up and show common sense… What is this photo thing pointing with a gun  and the message to the haters???? Precisely, these are the types of situation causing discomfort among fans and questioning more for his antics than his “actual football.”

  • Too many foreigners (and very poor)
  • In Serie A at least 60 are unnecessary
  • 54% of our championship don’t speak Italian.
  • There are restrictions, oftentimes, loopholes are used to exploit them.
  • Closing to non-EU members wouldn’t help; an example is Germany.

Good morning my friends.  How are you?  Coffee for everyone today.  It seems it’s a day of hope for AC Milan fans.  La Gazzetta dello Sport main  headline showing the big photo of the new coach Filippo Inzaghi starting a new era for a poor Milan looking to shine again as Champions.    Let’s not forget the poor performance from Milan last season resulting in being out of Champions League and Europa League this season.  Will Inzaghi bring back the glorious days? That’s the question.

A headline hitting me big time is about Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain…. according to the clause he is worth 100 millions!!   Moreover, guys, BAM !  Fiorentina president Della Valle saying that coach Cesare Prandelli has in his DNA the escape factor!

A new era bein in AC Milan
Inzaghi, three reasons to believe (with reasons)

His pluses: the friendly atmosphere, the managing of the group and the shirt as value.

Evra deal done, Morata on Tuesday and now interest in Romulo

De Laurentiis: “There is a €100 million clause for Higuain.”

Germany-Argentina: there isn’t only Messi against the Germans

Countries in comparison
Angela and Cristina, criminals and pilots, it is a complete battle

The final of the two Pope’s, I imagine it like this

The Viola owner attacks the ex-coach of the national team.
“Prandelli? Escape is in his DNA.”

Diego Della Valle: “He already ran from Fiorentina.”
Andrea: “Angered by the words on Rossi

The coach warns Balotelli. Rami signed.

“Higuain costs €100 million”
De Laurentiis reveals: “This is the value of his buy-out clause, but he only wants Napoli. Barca and Atletico want Callejon but he will remain. And I will buy two players: I will make some surprises. The Supercoppa with Juve will be in Italy, not in Rome.”

The attack to the ex coach
Della Valle: “Prandelli is used to running.”

The attack to the top
Pallotta: “Let’s close out with the antique calcio.”

Messi-Muller, guaranteed show
The two stars of Argentina and Germany already light up the final in Rio.

Good morning my friends.  How are you?   I hope you are doing well and enjoying the final games of the World Cup.  I totally  agree with the headlines that the Semifinal match Netherlands – Argentina was boring!  Come on, I expected more of this game instead it went to penalty shoot outs.  Sure, I also agree the hero of the match is goalkeeper Sergio Romero and not Lionel Messi.  Romero saving 2 penalties and showing the “grinta” to encourage his teammates to believe until the end.   Argentina will play the final against Germany on Sunday at the Maracana.

Headlines also on the ongoing “He says, they say” for the election of the Italian Football Federation and new Italy Head Coach.  Reportedly, Juventus president Agnelli is being attacked and criticized by Macalli…. oh well, here is a whole mess…..

Just before I forget, I also agree 100% with the headline on why Brazil have fallen so low!  Sure, the fact is that “the jogo bonito” has disappeared and Brazil no longer plays beautifully.  Brazil far from being the feared team has become a joke…  Brazil should take a pause and go back to their jogo bonito.  Let’s see how it goes in the game for the 3rd place against Netherlands… come on… minimum, Brazil must win this game.
