The International Break is Over, Parma come to the Franchi
By: Tim |Well, jet lag, returning to work and an oncoming cold aside, it is damn good to be back. Especially with a tasty Serie A matchup to look forward to tomorrow. I’m planning to do a post about playing a little calcio on the beach in Essaouria on the Atlantic coast of Morocco during [...]
CL Wrap-Up and Udinese Preview
By: Ted |As with my last post, this one will be really brief. As I’ve explained, I’m going through a real busy patch at work and Timmy is on vacation, so this is largely just to give us all a place to post thoughts, etc.
Mighty Viola v. Hungry, Hungry Hungarians
By: Ted |We’re not really going to do a preview of this one, crew. Timmy is on vacation and I just don’t have the time right now. So I’m just throwing this up here so we all have a place to put our running commentary once the match starts.
Three Cheers for Fiorentina!
By: Ted |Yes, I am aware we lost to Genoa today. And yes, I know we lost on Sunday as well. (I saw the match on Sunday, and missed the one today.) But, as George Plimpton once said ‘We are not discouraged.’ Or, at least, I am not. That much.
Brief Recap and Genoa Preview
By: Tim |Sorry for the delayed recap, but Ted’s traveling and I’m trying to get ready for a big trip myself. At any rate, I’ll offer some quick thoughts about Sunday’s loss to Napoli and today’s away match against Geona.
Neapolitans in Town
By: Tim |So, the team eager to announce its arrival this season with a big hollywood-style unveiling organized by owner Aurelio De Laurentiis comes to the Franchi on Sunday. You know, the “sleeping giant” everyone wants to see towards the top of the Serie A standings. Maybe to break the dominance of the Roman and [...]
Halfway through the CL Group Stage, Things are looking good for the Viola
By: Tim |I exchanged emails with Ted earlier, and it turns out that neither of us were able to see much of the match yesterday, so this recap will have to be brief. I did see the highlights last night on FSC, so I’ve seen all of the goals. In a very entertaining and open [...]
Battle in Budapest: Viola take on Debrecen
By: Tim |This is awesome to have another Viola match after such a short wait as that international break was torture.
Viola draw Newcastle: Recap
By: Ted |So on Saturday morning I get back from a killer business trip in New York City. I hardly got any sleep. The only thing that got me home, in fact, was the fact that I would be able to see my wife and kid, and that I would be able to see Fiorentina (presumably) dismantle [...]
The Viola are Back! Newcastle Preview
By: Tim |Finally! This goes two ways I suppose, the good is finally the Viola are returning to action after the international break that would not end, and the bad is that finally the viola blog has been updated. I’d make excuses, but let’s just get to the calcio.
