Fiorentina 2 – Napoli 1: Recap and Notes

By: Ted | Comments 30 Comments

Yesterday in Beautiful Florence the Viola defeated Napoli 2-1 in a closely fought contest. Mario Santana got the first right after the break (huh; go figure) and Ricky Montolivo got the winner with about eleven minutes to go. Both goals were impressive. The Napoli goal went in due to a flukey mistake [...]

Fiorentina v. Napoli

My apologies to everyone, but I will not be able to get a preview of today’s match up before the game. My real job calls, and since I am probably the last actual editor in the United States of America (for those of you not in the profession, the publishing industry is basically collapsing) [...]

The big news out of Florence over the last few days is that the club has sold Pablo Daniel Osvaldo to Bologna for seven million Euro. This sale comes immediately on the heels of the sale of my man Pazzini to Sampdoria, and may suggest that Osvaldo, for all of his talent, was real [...]

Audible Sigh

By: Ted | Comments 33 Comments

Yesterday in Milan the Beckhams defeated the Viola 1-0 in league play, extending Fiorentina’s skid and sending them further from their goal of qualifying for the Champions League next season.

On Saturday afternoon here in the States, Fox Soccer Channel will show MY favorite team, the mighty Fiorentina, play David Beckham in a professional football match held in Italy.

Old Pal Pazz Hits the Road

By: Ted | Comments 18 Comments

I only have a few minutes today, but I wanted to officially report, “Fiorentina Offside” style, that my man Giampaolo Pazzini has been sold to Samp. In return we apparently got 9 million Euros for him, as well as a season-long loan of Emiliano Bonazzoli that includes an option to buy. Thus we get [...]
