 Exactly one year ago, I decided to start the Sports Opinionated blog over on Blogger.com. The goal was to give myself a creative outlet to express my many views on sports, whether misguided or fact-based. My goal when I started was to write 2-3 posts per week on anything that I was passionate about and to [...]  It’s only been a few short seasons since Ronaldinho’s over-hyped arrival at Milan. He arrived with a lot of fanfare at a club that needed to sell tickets and jerseys. He was brought in as much for his fame as his talent, which had been dwindling at Barcelona. For 21 million Euros, he brought two seasons [...]  It’s a topic we all love discussing, and we all have different opinions about. Some of us would rather see a pure poacher in the lineup while others believe that target men are the most effective and still more believe that a striker who plays well with the ball at his feet is essential. We can [...]  As we talked about on the Pink Shirt Wise Guys podcast earlier this week, it seems like a foregone conclusion that Inter will beat Bayern for the UEFA Champions League title this Saturday. While no game is ever a sure thing, there are 5 players who will play key roles for Inter in the match. #5. [...]  Serie A is in serious need of a makeover and Inter Milan may be able to help in more ways than one. With Inter’s resounding defeat of Barcelona, they’ve already restored some of Serie A’s lost prestige. Bragging rights over La Liga and the EPL have at least been made relevant again, even if it is [...] 
The first leg of the Champions League clash at the Emirates Stadium was phenomenal. Barca were at the mercy Manuel Almunia’s stellar string of saves early on and eventually went up 2-0 early in the second half. After going a man down, however, Barca lost their well-earned lead and ended up with a 2-2 draw. With [...]  Unfortunately for us Canadians, it’s just not possible to watch Champions League games live unless we skip out on work. So for those of us interested in the beautiful game, the PVR is our best friend, as long as we can avoid the internet, Twitter, radio and others on our way home to watch. Given that [...]  With the Champions League clash against England’s Manchester United ahead, Milan’s manager, Leonardo, has a few tough choices to make. Given that they lost 3-2 at home, they’ll need either a mountain of goals or at least a 2-goal victory at Old Trafford. It’s not likely, but it’s possible. Milan have received two pieces of great news [...] In the past few years, the Serie A has been relegated to a second tier player in the UEFA Champions League. Back in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons of the tournament, the Serie A held 3 of the 8 quarter final spots and in both seasons had a team in the semi-finals or finals. In the [...] Losing in the Champions League is not something that Liverpool fans are used to in recent years. I’m here to tell you that it’s the best thing that could happen to the club this year. As a fan of AC Milan, but a close follower of the Premier League, I see eerie similarities between Liverpool’s squad [...] The Champions League was back in action again today with the marquee match up featuring Real Madrid and AC Milan. After blowing an early lead at the Bernebeu last week, it was time for Madrid to venture back to Milan for a match at the San Siro. With Milan still riding a string of success to a [...] The other day I was reading an article in the National Post on the first weekend of the Serie A season in Italy, and it struck me. It’s extremely difficult to become a fan of soccer here in North America, and it’s really too bad. This particular article definitely made me lose my cool. I [...] |
