Special thanks to Fetyani for many of those images.

A post combining two of my favourite things, Maldini and Dave Grohl. Can’t go wrong.

Was the concept cheesy or did it work? I have another lined up but if this was a failure then it will get the ax!

i liked it, but i ended up listening to that song and watching some more maldini pics.

ill try to work out making a video for Paolo soon, im no pro but ill see what can i do. and i was just watching Paolo Maldini Il Film this weekend (still best movie/video/whatever my eyes have ever seen, seriously) and i was thinking of breaking down the movie into parts of his career and upload them. i.e the early years, 87 scudetto, CL and so on till the end.

Fetyani that would be great, I have another post like this planned with pictures throughout his career that I have been collecting.

For him to do what he does at age 40 is amazing. Im basically his age and was a college level soccer player until my early 20s and now I can barely get the motivation for a kick about. A long match for me at age 40 is just pure fantasy. I was trying to convince myself I could play with this guy while watching Italia 90 and the fact that playing at all today is so far out of my reality while at the same time this guy is still playing at an elite level is amazing. If he is not in your all time XI, then you know nothing about the sport.

i cant believe how little attention is spent on calcio. on the espn soccernet podcast, they spoke about milan for about 30 seconds, and somehow thought milan beat cagliari 1-0. Both the host, and the italian analyst both thought milan picked up three points. Its probably the easiest thing in the world to go onto any soccer website and check the score. I am totally baffled that respected journalists, working for espn none the less, could do something so stupid.

Jeremy - nicely summed up at the end!

fg - if you think thats bad u will love the fact that whilst covering the recent Milan derby one of the fsc commentators on fox referred to AC Milan as the nerazzurri!

And it turns out Milan was playing a team called cag-lee-ar-ee yesterday. The announcers cannot even pronounce the name of the other team let alone the actual players’ names.

i once heard an announcer call Cagliari, Calgary as in Calgary, Alberta in Canada!! and the worst part is he kept going on and on about the city as if he`s the mayor.

soccer broadcast in North America is pretty weak, and we thought we had SerieA.tv to save us but they went down too.

He’s one layed back character that Maldini.

Just on the Cagliari game, I think the biggest culprits were the fullbacks. Christmas tree or not, Milan had the players on the park who should be able to beat the bottom of the ladder team but the fullbacks need to roam up and down those touchlines, they provide the width and extra man on overlaps so sorely missing in the narrow shape which Milan plays in attack. Without the overlapping fullbacks it becomes so much easier to defend against them. How many times did Milan break into the Cagliari half with Seedorf or Kaka in possession and in a good position only to look up and see wide open spaces on the flanks but no one moving into them? Then you see Zambrotta’s lazy arse trodding up 30 secs too late. At least Zambrotta has the excuse of not having had a rest but Janks can’t even fall back on that. Ancelloti should have played Antonini with instructions to join in the attack when needed, and started Zambro on the bench.

I’ve begun a personal boycott of FSC because of their obvious bias towards the EPL and lack of respect and knowledge of Serie A. They hire plenty of English and even Scotish to analyze games but where are the Italians or even people affiliated with Italian soccer? How about doing a pre- or post- game analysis for our derby match, correctly described by the “beloved” Mex Bretos as “the biggest match of the European calendar thus far” (keeping in mind Chelsea-Man U played just a week before). It’s incredibly disrespectful to a league that has arguably had the most exciting start out of the big four in Europe. Thank God for Verizon Fios and RAItalia.

I’m 19 and have only followed Serie A and Milan for two years now but I’m thankful for every game I get to see Maldini play in.

Joseph, both you and I, and many of the fans here do not even remember a team without Maldini. That notion is so foreign to me it makes me laugh and cringe at the same time. But with every Maldini Monday that passes it means one less weekend of Il Capitano on the high road out of calcio, it is a scary thought, I just hope our humble Monday celebrations at least help sum up the career of the greatest defender to ever roam the earth.

You should try just the audio may be from something like last.fm, before playing it I thought it was going to be Maldini singing.
