Toronto FC Eyes Bradley


bradley
After signing Brazilians Gilberto and Jackson, and England international Jermaine Defoe, Toronto FC have set their sights on another Serie A player.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Reds have started negotiations with Roma for Michael Bradley and making an offer to the giallorossi. Serie A seems to have become a preferred fishing ground for the Toronto outfit: this offer comes days after Genoa's Alberto Gilardino declined the Canadian city indefinitely. 
TFC's offer, however, is not the only one: Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg are interested in his services. 
Bradley has 1 goal in 11 Serie A appearances for Roma this season.

#SerieA Road Trip Personal Blog Day 8, Paying Respects to Crosstown Rivals

Image
As a Juventino who is not from Turin it's difficult to fully appreciate the rivalry with crosstown rivals AC Torino. Perhaps this one is the least balanced crosstown derbies in Italy: Hellas-Chievo in Verona, Inter-Milan in Milan, Genoa-Sampdoria in Genoa, Roma-Lazio in Rome, can go either way in any given year. For the better part of the last 20 years Juventus-Torino is a derby that has gone one way: the bianconeri 's.  In fact, Torino hasn't even scored a goal in a derby in the last decade. This hasn't made a difference, however, with respect to the historical rivalry that exists between the two factions. As soon as you identify yourself as a Juventus fan, some  granata  fans will turn away or simply call you a " Gobbo di Merda " (shitty juventus fan - gobbo , hunchback, is a nickname for Juventus fans).  I did attend the last derby in February 2014, and was able to gain an appreciation for the rivalry between the two sides. This time aroun

My very personal wish to Juventus on her 120th birthday

Image
Iconic Giovanni Trapattoni carried to victory in 1977 by Juventus players. In the foreground: Causio, Scirea, and Cabrini. In occasion of Juventus FC's 120th birthday, I want to take advantage of this platform to give you an account of what Juventus means to me. I wrestled with the idea of writing this due to some of its very personal insights into my life, but I nevertheless believe that it's important that I share this story with my readers/followers. Juventus represents for me a constant that bridged many of life's cliffs, providing thus safe passage to the other side of the abyss. I began supporting Juventus because it was my best friend's team. I was 8 years old, and soon after I started supporting Juventus, she underwent a 9-year scudetto drought. I didn't know major victories while I supported the bianconeri  in Italy, as a child. I didn't know what it meant to live a magical Wednesday night of Champions Cup football. I didn't know any

My Champions League Final

Image
On my commute home one cool evening in May I feel my phone buzzing in my jacket's pocket. I pick up. "Hey, man, listen. I've got to tell you something: I've got to go", my friend Jack intimates. "And you need my permission?", I reply jokingly. "No, dude. I have to go to the final". With these words, Jack opened a door for me to complete the dream of a lifetime: to watch Juventus play and - let's not kid anyone - win a Champions League Final. Another acquaintance of mine, Dom, had already planted a little bug in my ear, suggesting that we meet in Cardiff for the final before Juve's second semifinal against Monaco, generously offering me to split his accommodations if I decided to go. The Clincher In that phone call, Jack told me that unbeknownst to each other, we both had made separate requests for a single ticket to the Juventus Club DOC of Toronto . After a protracted and iterative process my membership ($65/season)
