dropping a technically gifted italian footballer in his prime into the english premier league is like dropping albert einstein into a high school physics class
“blinded by juve,” a THREAD of sorts:
1. Simone Muratore, 24yo central midfielder. has never appeared in a serie a match. sold by juventus to atalanta for €7 million in september 2020 😮
@ArtMorelli
What period of plusvalenza are they referring to? When you find the answer you’ll understand why I quoted this one.
I consider you an intelligent man but from time to time you are blinded (when Juve is involved)

i went on a few dates w/ a woman to whom i admitted having an adolescent crush on clarissa explains it all. she showed up to my place once wearing dr martens and nothing under her coat but floral print denim shorts over spandex. i think she is a candle maker in ellicott city now
number of scudetti at the time of the superga tragedy:
juventus 7
torino 6
since the superga tragedy:
juventus 29
torino 1
the greatest team in the history of italian football crashed into a mountain and tore the fabric of the football space-time continuum
rip grande torino
LOL
at 35 years old Francesco Totti had 12 goals and 12 assists for top flight AS Roma.
at 35 years old Wayne Rooney is sitting at home after 2 seasons at tier 2 Derby County and 2 seasons at MLS.
I'm not surprised at Hojlund's fee. He's essentially like a faster and harder-kicking Dominic Calvert-Lewin. That's an Osimhen-level forward, if not superior. I have earmarked him and Ferguson as potential long-term rivals.
Atlanta are right to have asked what they demanded.
italian football is second in uefa coefficient with their shoelaces tied together, imagine if their clubs had bottomless oil money check books and weren’t owned by narcoleptic italian businessmen and b list movie producers
hojlund better in prem than he was in serie a
salah better in prem than he was in serie a
bruno fernandes better in prem than he was in serie a
i sense a pattern, interesting
lautaro has established position, never takes his eye off the ball, and there is mutual upper body contact.
it’s not the goal scorers problem that the defender went down like a paper doll.
the only thing that is embarrassing is this post and the incessant whinging every week
🚨 Antoine Griezmann is available for €15m this summer because of a clause in his contract. 😳🇫🇷📋💰
Several European and American teams have positioned themselves.

btw, if anyone is coming home it should be Jorginho and especially Verratti, absolutely devastating for Italian football that a generational mid-fielder doesn’t have a single Serie A cap
AC Milan Twitter is like that single friend who’s been miserable and cynical about love and romance for the last 10 years,,,,then they finally find a partner and their TL is now all rose pedals and couples spa days 🤢🤮
What if 'Grande Torino' never perished in 1949?
The 1950 world cup & 3 in a row almost certainly 🇮🇹
Do we even see 🇭🇺 great side be so dominant or even 🇧🇷/Pele take over?
Madrid do not dominate the early years of the euro cup. Juventus don't become the clear

3/4 ounce orange curaçao
3/4 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
1/2 ounce orgeat
1/2 ounce dark rum
The answer is CR7, clearly.
He has single handedly bankrupted Juventus, turning them into a debt-ridden waste land.
It’s so bad that to win UCL they’ve turned to a rookie manager who only 2 weeks ago turned in his thesis paper double-spaced in Futura font size 14.
“Paris Saint-Germain will continue to work with Uefa, the European Club Association and all stakeholders of the football family - based on the principles of good faith, dignity and respect for all.”
Here is a clip of grown ass child Federico Chiesa grimacing before he even absorbs any contact whatsoever. Alexis actually gets a yellow card for this I laughed
“...so anyway I really think you should root for other Italian clubs in the European competitions because it raises the profile of the league and contributes to the UEFA coefficients.”
clear penalty, defender was beaten to the ball and knocked the attacking player down from behind, i can’t believe someone would provide literal video evidence of a textbook infraction and say that it wasn’t, we live in a post facts world…
I’ve played FIFA 21 career mode for little over a week and I have been fired by Napoli after 1 season and fired by Bologna after 5 matches in my 2nd season. I am the Marco Giampaolo of FIFA.
2. Pablo Moreno, 20yo center forward. has 7 first tier caps to his credit, all coming this year in portugal with 17th place Maritimo. sold by juventus to man city in july 2020 for €10 million 😯
3. manolo portanova. 22yo central mf for genoa. sold by lazio to juventus for €250K in 2017. played a total of 170 top flight minutes for juventus. sold to genoa in jan 2021 for €12 million 😳
You don’t have to be a forensic scientist to see by the movement of Barella’s left foot/leg that there is contact. Both legs move in concert with each other and Barella’s foot takes the path of the defender’s leg. It’s amazing how people just see what they want to believe.
Italy’s midfield of Barella - Jorginho - Verratti might actually be the most elite midfield in all of world football that’s how dangerously stupid this take is…
According to
@espn
's crack team of analysts like
@MarkOgden_
, Italy is overachieving due, in part, to "a midfield without a world-class player." At least it was the beginning of the article so I didn't have to waste any more time reading.
Inter in a UCL final after beating Porto, Benfica and Air Conditioner to get there while Juve had to beat either prime Barca and Real Madrid super team both times on their way to the final ...
this is peak blue fan filippo. out here trying to set the ground rules for how fans in milano (6600km from philadelphia btw) should greet gigio at the san siro when he’s neither milanista nor milanese and if he’s been in that building more than 3 times that’s a lot
i have lost my VIRGINITY. the only thing that is missing is my girlfriend having sex with me, which is only a matter of time. she has rejected every other offer she has received.
🚨🚨 The agreement between
#Inter
and Piotr Zielinski is DONE. The only thing that is missing is the player’s signature, which is only a matter of time. The Polish international has rejected every other offer he received. 🇵🇱

Big Rom is the greatest striker in the world, don’t care what the racists, beans and toast prem heads and Man Unidiots say. But he’s also a class gentleman. 🙌

a transfer history so shady it cannot be described with words, so here’s are some pics. what greta business by juve getting €18M total from genoa for a player never valued more than €12. grande paratici
Great day at the office for Juventus:
• 6 goals scored
• Chiesa was ELECTRIC
• Miretti first goal in the Coppa
• ANOTHER Yildiz goal
Next up: Frosinone in the Coppa Italia Quarter-Finals in 6 days 🗓
Great job by umpire crew in the Mets Braves game, after Kevin Pillar gets hit in the face and walks off the field with a bloody face, they allow Braves manager to take his pitcher out even tho he wasn’t allowed to under MLB rules for mound visit. I love when common sense prevails
@Pepissmo
this is what people in football think - if it means they underestimate Inter, that should be to your benefit - but I have to reflect what is being said.
NAPLES, Italy- Napoli has a reputation for being a totally corrupt and crime-infested city, overwhelmed by trash, pickpockets, and controlled by the infamous Camorra.
But Neapolitans are some of the most caring and generous people in all of Italy.
