I left the house yesterday with the anticipation of a fantastic day. I had chartered a bus to bring 50 Milanista to Boston to see the Derby Della Madonnina first hand on American soil. Our itinerary included two pickups, the first at 1:45 and second at 2:15. At about 2PM the calls [...]

By: Gianfranco | 141 Comments

As many of you know today I will be at Gillette Stadium watching Milan muddle their way through the final game of the World Football Challenge. What we have seen up to this point has been far more bad than good, but as the preseason wears on we can only hope improvement. Regardless [...]

Monday Milan Musings

By: Gianfranco | 222 Comments

-So Milan draws 2-2 with the LA Galaxy. I personally do not hold the MLS in as low a regard as many, and I also think that the quality of play is improving from the US as a whole even if the tactics are still a bit stale. With that said this draw [...]

By: Gianfranco | 69 Comments

I think it is rather funny that I was going to run this Legends’s post on a day where the comments on the previous post were curiously Carletto related. You can say what you want about Carletto as a player or a coach, but his legacy certainly speaks for itself.

Welcome to the “Gooch”

By: Gianfranco | 107 Comments

I am stuck in two minds here. When I heard that “Gooch”was joining AC Milan I was shocked and surprisingly pleased. It was my critical football eye that spoiled my party, but even my misgivings pale in comparison to the upside of this move. Yes Onyewu can clear the ball better, he [...]
