Athletic Events 2025-
(Back to Main)

One laughs when one hears UEFA pretending great
"surprise" that there is no integrity in the game...
Where had you been for so long, while every single
decision was being taken with priorities other than
the Sport in mind and when the behavior of this
despicable boss of bosses had been provocative
and shameless to say the least? Have you just woken
up from a stupor or have you been inhaling in your
private quarters and are not in that much touch with
reality? At least (late better than never), I hope that
you will withdraw "trust" and "confidence" in this
man and that you shall do your utmost to change
"leadership" immediately after the tournament is over.
Under Infantino, football's values have been shattered,
favoritism and bribing prevail, political influence has
been rampant and, under the veil of "inclusivity", the
calendar and demands have exploded. Football has
been in dire straits and to keep its essential character
and values, urgent and immediate action is needed.
And that yesterday; not tomorrow, not in five years.
DO YOUR PART NOW AND DO IT AGGRESSIVELY.
STOP COMPLAINING AND START BEING EFFECTIVE.


Round of 16
Brazil-Norway 1-2
The blame rests, without question, with Allenatore
Ancelotti. Norway got onto the field with an intention
to slow the game down because they knew that this
was serving their style of play. Carletto obliged and
let his players watch, while scratching their privates
for 80 minutes, until it became too late and the damage
had been done and they at last decided to wake up...
What a disappointing coaching and what a waste of
talent and energy that could have been used for so
much more...
 
 

Round of 16
Paraguay-France 0-1
For the sake of fairness, France's performance was
disappointing and. had we not gotten to know the
team's true potential, no one would have been sorry
if the ensemble we saw yesterday had been left out
of the competition. But I have to say that it is very
hard to imagine a team with a worse attitude and a
more intentionally unsportsmanlike behavior on the
pitch than Paraguay. France may have been disappo-
inting, but Paraguay will have to do a long and hard
work to mend the damage from its abrasiveness and
its repulsive and despicable antics that no one should
use in any sport, let alone the most beautiful sport on
the Planet.
 
 
 

Round of 32
Argentina-Cabo Verde 3-2 (ET)
One of the most suspenseful and fascinating games
of the tournament with the cost-benefit ratio favoring
the African Team hands down.
 
 
 
 
 

Round of 32
USA-Bosnia 2-0
GO USA!!
 
 
 

When you witness a team that has raised high
expectations and whose performance is so much
below par, then I do no think it is the right thing
to blame a single referee decision for its woes,
even if it was a harsh decision and even if it did
happen at a very critical point. Truth is we saw
a colorless, wasteful and aimless style of play,
a cross between rigid discipline and wasteful
passing, without much inspiration or excitement.
I think Klopp understands this and his comments
reflect a frustration that Germany did not have
the answers and did not find a way against
rather inferior opponents that knew what they
wanted and stole it coldblooded.


Turkey-USA 3-2
GO USA!!
 

Tunisia-Japan 0-4

Instead of the personification of shame in
football being ashamed, he is smiling, like
count Dracula, and raising thumbs. His
only point of pride, of course, is the un-
interrupted flow of cash in his pockets
and in FIFA's coffers. That is not what
football, the most beautiful and the most
popular sport of the Planet, should be
about, nor should its custody be left in
the hands of such repulsive, despicable
and greedy vultures that are literally
turning everything into a ruthless and
outrageous attempt to draw blood from
a stone, some of them having already
been squeezed and ground to dust...
IMPLODE FIFA after this world cup!
Let the next one be organized by a
consortium of Associations, with the
sport being at the center and not with
money, commerce, glamor and celebrity
being indisputably the guiding principles.


Roberto Martinez continues (after the Belgian
saga) to coach in a very questionable way.
First, his "method" seems to be:
-Apply pressure so as to take initiative and
dominate until you score;
-Withdraw and defend until they equalize;
-Repeat the above as needed.
With such a plan, both against "weaker"
and "stronger" opponents, Portugal is
going nowhere.
Second, by using Ronaldo by fiat, regard-
less of form and utility, for 90 minutes, he
is demonstrating that he does not have the
guts to coach a World class team with al-
most every single one of its players top
class and most of them currently in better
form than Ronaldo. A participation of a star
for stardom's sake, must in no way create
an impediment (being tantamount to his
team playing with ten men), nor is it one
of the defining characteristics of a wise
and prudent coach.


The Captain of the Oranje is absolutely right.
If it had been only about the players' health
and endurance, this would have been done
on a game-by-game basis and, knowing
FIFA, their mentality and their ruthlessness,
most likely erring on the side of jeopardy.
But, when it is for filling Infantino's pockets
and stashing the dough in the Swiss coffers,
it has to be done every time on the beat and
without argument, special consideration or
any equivocation. This is who you all have
allowed to administer football and you should
be ashamed of it and make the courageous
but necessary decision to implode FIFA and
build something different on solid foundations
and on the RIGHT VALUES & PRINCIPLES.


BRAVO to the Japanese on and off the field!!
On the pitch, they showed resilience, stubborn-
ness and persistence. They went behind twice,
they gave all they had, with organization and
skill, and they came back again and again.
And off the field their fans, by cleaning up
the Dallas Stadium, showed how much they
respect the public places that admit them
and that they use and how much they care
to leave them in at least as good a shape as
they found them for others to enjoy. Civili-
zation and Civility lessons from the Land of
the Rising Sun. THE GREATEST RESPECT!
BRAVO, JAPAN!!


USA-Paraguay 4-1
GO USA!!
 
 
 

Olympiacos-Ferencváros 17-14
LEN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2026!
 

Max Allegri or Antonio Conte
for The Azzurri!!


The fact that the first four spots on the Table
were won and lost in the last couple of Days
in Serie A just shows how competitive the
League has become. I do not agree with the
decisions of the directors at Napoli and at
Milan to let two of the best Italian Coaches
of their Generation and two Members of the
Pantheon go, even though they might have
wished for more and they might have expe-
cted more. They surely must hope that these
decisions do not come back to bite them next
season. On the other hand, I am very pleased
that JUVE stays focused and dedicated to the
project begun under Luciano's leadership and
I hope that, only very few adjustments and
minor changes will occur during the summer
transfer period and that the main skeleton of
the TEAM stays the same (including Tim).
Do not try to fix something that is not broken!
FORZA JUVE!!

TORINO-JUVE 2-2
Not a very impressive closing of the season.
In the last five games, while on a race to clinch
a spot for next year's Champions League, the
Team lost one, tied three and only in one did
they manage to win. By any calculation, one
would have been justified to expect a bit more.
Let us hope for a different next season, espe-
cially in those games that count and in which
we were careless and/or ineffective this season.
FORZA JUVE!!
 
 
 
 

In how many jobs can you become so filthy
rich by being a fast & repeated abject failure?


THEY DO NOT HAVE MY SUPPORT,
EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE FIGHTING
AGAINST LEECHES AND PARASITES.
First, even those that do not do that
well amass millions in income that
ordinary workers would never even
dream of. Second, especially those
that have been caught with the needle
in the arm, so to speak, and they have
been treated with kid gloves in return,
should be so, but so, very pleased and
grateful, beyond their wildest dreams,
for not having faced what they really
deserved, not even close. Pity that
some of these guys are so unappre-
ciative, boorish and demanding.


Unfortunately, only rarely do we have
something positive to say about FIFA
or UEFA because it is only rarely that
they do something to support the sport
without having ulterior motives; most
often, monetary self-interest and pa-
rasitical profiteering based on others'
labors. But, for fairness sake, let us
mention the good on those rare occa-
sions it occurs. BRAVO TO UEFA for
their decision to impose a lifetime ban
to Petr Vlachovsky from all football re-
lated activity. Being part of professional
football in any capacity is a privilege
and anyone who abuses players and
does not show respect or care and
injures their dignity has no place in
football. Let me also mention that, if
tennis had adopted a similar stance
vis-a-vis doping or if gymnastics had
adopted a similar stance vis-a-vis
coaches and medical staff or if...
(and the list goes on and is not short),
then all athletes would be so much
more protected and the reputation of
those sports in so much better shape.
Here is also a statement from FIFPRO
and I echo the players asking FIFA to
extend the penalty immediately to a
Worldwide ban. Further, I encourage
other sport's organizations and other
associations to take a similarly aggres-
sive stance against any activity that
undermines their sports' cleanliness
in all ethical matters and/or demeans
their athletes' dignity in any way.

FIFA is not only a disgrace to football and a
despicable organization, which should not
exist, but it mocks fans and takes them for
idiots and it ridicules professionals in all
supporting professions and abuses their
trust and takes them for a ride. This is to
be expected from an outfit that considers
itself more prestigious than the pope and
has managed to place itself above the
level of states and beyond the reach of
state laws by threats of sanctions under
the artificial veil of "independence", which,
in reality, provides a cover for lawlessness,
arbitrariness, lack of accountability, and
acting with total impunity. For the zillionth
time I CALL ON ALL NATIONAL ASSOCIA-
TIONS TO IMPLODE FIFA AND TO DESTROY
THE GANGRENOUS CHOKEHOLD ON THE
SPORT FROM THIS GANG OF SWISS-BASED
OLIGARCHS, EMBEZZLERS AND THIEVES.


JUVE-FIORENTINA 0-2
Terrible day today for Juve at Corso Scirea.
After such intense effort throughout the season,
something was missing mentally, and we could
not capitalize against an opponent who has not
been one of the best. But they did their job at
Juve Stadium and we did not do ours, and that
is all that matters, when everything is said and
done.
 
 
 

LECCE-JUVE 0-1
FORZA JUVE!!
 
 
 
 
 

It is not perhaps the right time now (or, maybe
it is) to discuss transfers, but I agree with those
that believe that Openda, Luiz, Gonzalez, Milik
and Zhegrova could be offloaded with minimal
competitive cost to the Team. The cases of Teun
and Jon are not so clearcut, since, in my view,
even though it took them some time, they both
have made some noticeable contributions and
may be crucial in giving the team some depth.
On the other hand, I strongly believe that Tim
Weah would add quality and flexibility and has
to be brought back (why he was loaned in the
first place, having been one of the most feisty
and best players on our roaster, no one knows).
Needless to say that I am vehemently against
bringing in "huge names", like some of those
circulating in various columns and reports in
the media. Both lessons from our - and from
other teams' - past experiences and the often
disproportionate financial costs, as compared
to performance and overall contributions, are
strong challengers and counter-indicators to
such ill-thought moves. We've seen (with a
BANG and ripped pockets) that there is no
guarantee that what is successful elsewhere
is going to be successful in Torino, more and
especially so when the player is close to 40.
FORZA JUVE!! 

Bravo to FK Bodø/Glimt for the design and
construction of what, as it seems from the
published plans, will be one of the most
attractive and beautiful football arenas in
the Continent. Congratulations, of course,
are also due to the firm that undertook the
design.

Υπονομεύουν συστηματικά το VAR, με δήθεν
αθώες και "αντικειμενικές" διαπιστώσεις και
δηλώσεις, με απότερο σκοπό τελικά να το
ξεπαστρέψουν ολοκληρωτικά, ώστε να είναι
τελείως ελεύθεροι, αυτοί και οι ανάδοχοί τους,
να ξαναρχίσουν τις ανεξέλεγκτες αυθαιρεσίες
υπέρ των μεγάλων και ισχυρών, που είναι
εξ άλλου αυτοί που αφήνουν τα φλουράκια και
τα μπαξισάκια όταν περνούν απ' τα γραφεία
των αφεντικών και των νονών στην Ελβετία...


Italy will not participate in the World Cup via
the use of force or the method of corruption
and corrupt practices or via the dictatorial, or
otherwise unfair, elimination of States who
did their part on the pitch and qualified. The
AZZURRI ARE TOO PROUD TO BE LET IN BY
THE BACK DOOR, LIKE THIEVES, WHEN, IN
FAIR COMPETITION, THEY FAILED MISERABLY
IN ENTERING THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR.
We shall wait for 2030 rather than breaking
the rules of the game and abusing others.


A deeply moving Act of Sportsmanship
and Humanity. The BBC caption starts by
"Two runners sacrificed personal bests",
when a much more suitable caption would
have been "Two runners achieved new
personal bests", since any Personal Best
in Helping Others and in our Collective
Humanity far surpasses any "personal
best" in any sports records or any other
endeavors. BRAVO, AARON! BRAVO,
ROBSON! BRAVO, AJAY! You touched
our Hearts and our Minds in a way that
no "personal best" in Marathon would
ever have done, and in times when we
desperately need such examples of
empathy, of selflessness, of kindness
and of solidarity...


JUVE-BOLOGNA 2-0
FORZA JUVE!!
 
 
 
 

BRAVO JUVE!! BRAVO MANUEL!!


It is a new low for Real Madrid to even
raise the issue of refereeing, when they
could not make it, despite having been
gifted two exquisitely wrapped gifts
by Neuer via priority express courier
and tariff free. In fact, both presented to
Arda Güler, and one in the first minute
so as to avoid wasting any time. A team
that is gifted so much and cannot take
advantage does not deserve advancing,
irrespective of other factors.
P.S. 1. I do not underestimate Arda's
           skill in the foul kick, but a more
           in form keeper may have saved.
       2. Neuer is, by any standards, an
           absolute legend, and the World
           of Football is lucky to have been
           a witness to such skill and talent.
           But no one is irreplaceable and
           there is such a thing as overstaying
           one's welcome and, perhaps, sadly,
           time is ripe.


I strongly commend the directors at Union
Berlin and applaud their decision to appoint
as manager until the end of the season Coach
Marie Louise Eta. Every discussion on this
issue that has to do with aspects other than
her performance, her effectiveness and the
results of the Team under her direction are
totally meaningless and undeserving. She
will be applauded, criticized or judged, as
every other manager, based on what she
succeeds in drawing out of her players,
how she directs the Team's efforts and,
of course, the results she, together with
her players, will be able to attain.


It is doubtful whether spending money on a keeper
like Alisson or de Gea is going to help Juve in a si-
gnificant and decisive way. First, both Di Gregorio
and Perin are skillful enough for the Team's needs.
Second, it is not the best or most constructive thing
to bring in someone whose peak performance may
be better than Michele's or Mattia's, but whose ups
and downs account for deeper valleys than either
of Michele's or Mattia's, and may endanger the Team
in crucial matches or may, in general, result in peri-
ods of time when we wish we had the stability of
either of our current keepers. I think that Juve would
do better to be looking at the Italian market, at one of
the local talents who may be given chances and be
brought up to be one of the next signature keepers
of the Azzurri. I encourage the manager and the di-
rectors to take that approach.

Μέσα στη γενική ανημπόρια και στη έλλειψη
φιλότιμου, συγκέντρωσης και προσπάθειας
και της συνεχούς απεμπόλησης ευθυνών (και
δεν εννοώ μόνο στον αθλητισμό), να και ένα
παλληκάρι που παραμένει προσηλωμένο και
δεν εγκαταλείπει την προσπάθεια, ούτε αφήνει
ευκαιρίες να πάνε χαμένες, ίσως και γιατί, σε
κρίσιμη ηλικία πλέον, ο ΛΕΥΤΕΡΗΣ ξέρει ότι
ό,τι φεύγει δεν ξανάρχεται, και ότι, αν αφήσεις
μία ευκαιρία ανεκμετάλλευτη, αυτή δεν ξανα-
γυρίζει πια και ο χρόνος περνάει ανεπιστρεπτί...
ΜΠΡΑΒΟ, ΛΕΥΤΕΡΗ!!
 

Unfortunately, our pain in not being able,
once more, to follow the World Cup with
any interest, since Italy is not traveling
there, came more or less as has come to
be expected, since the powers to be, the
so-called "experts", failed to realize, once
more, the most obvious in their manage-
ment and handling of the affairs of this
team. I wish it had been only their pain
and their troubles and punishment, but
from their decisions a whole Nation, and
not only, has to suffer and to absorb the
dire (footballing) consequences. Maybe
they do not care or maybe they do, but
their best is not good enough. In my
view, there has to come some radical
changes in management, in coaching
and in the constitution of the team for
things to not repeat themselves two or
four years from now, and to be able to
see, at some point in the not too distant
future, a glorious footballing Italy again.
 
 

BRAVO JUVE!! BRAVO LUCIANO!!
Additionally, very good thinking to
retain Dušan and, also, to try to get
back Randal, who had a very very
positive first spell on loan at Juve.
With Kenan and Chico at the wings
and one of those two at the tip of
the spear, Juve's attacking prowess
could be lethal and not easy to tame.

Arne Slot has a very unlikable personality.
In the match of his team against Galatasaray,
he would not stop complaining about any
and all referee decisions that went against
his team, even those that were undoubtedly
correct. One would have thought that he is
either a juvenile without any restraints or
that he was deliberately trying, in very bad
taste, full of irony, to influence the referees.
The extent to which he was excessive and
an embarrassment was such that, at one
point, one might have thought that he was
ready to start complaining even against
those decisions that favored his own team.
I think that he should either try to control
himself and check his behavior or he should
not be the boss of a Club with such History,
which definitely deserves a more dignified
and calm behavior at its bench.


A HUGE HUGE BRAVO to Achraf Hakimi,
who, despite the unacceptable behavior of
the Senegalese coach and players during
the Final of the African Cup of Nations, he
insists on congratulating the Senegalese
for their performance in the field, he reco-
gnizes that Morocco did not make it to win
the competition and is refusing to accept
a trophy after an extra-competitive decision,
and urges all his teammates to do the same,
citing ethical and athletic issues. We VERY
MUCH NEED PLAYERS OF HIS STATURE
DOING THE RIGHT THING. I congratulate
him very fondly and I am deeply moved by
his statement and stand, which is not very
common nowadays. BRAVO, ACHRAF!!

JUVE-GALATASARAY 3-0 (3-2 ET)
Allenatore Spalletti and the kids almost reached
the source but, being decimated and exhausted,
could not taste the water. We are disappointed...
It was the only competition left for us with some
meaning, even though, admittedly, we could not
compare in quality this year with the most power-
ful teams in the Competition and we need to give
Luciano more time to further improve the Team,
to find his bearings and to fix the style of play.
On the other hand, what Juve showed is what
Juve MUST show in every game. A strong resi-
lience and decisiveness to contest every game
and every tie and to turn things around when it
finds itself in dire straits, regardless of whether,
in the end, the effort proves successful or not.

GALATASARAY-JUVE 5-2
A disconcerting evening at Ali Sami Yen,
especially the fact that Spalletti brought

unbecoming of a Club which has boasted
the Best Defenses in European History.

Unfortunately, from time to time, there are
born on earth subhuman beings, slimy and
repulsive leeches whose only concern is to
pocket more and more and increase reve-
nues, no matter what the cost and regard-
less of ethics and appearances. It is very
sad when these beings manage to float and
are elected to offices of great responsibility
and global impact, instead of being con-
signed to the depths where they belong.


Σήμερα τα κορίτσια αρχίζουν την τελική μάχη
για ένα Ευρωπαϊκό μετάλλιο. Ο σεβασμός μας
είναι απεριόριστος, όχι μόνο γιατί είναι στην
τετράδα με σταθερά αφάνταστες αποδόσεις,
αλλά και γιατί έχουν καταφέρει να πλησιάσουν
την τελειότητα στον τρόπο που παίζουν πόλο.
Ο ίδιος σεβασμός ανήκει και στον Χάρη Παυλίδη
και το υπόλοιπο τεχνικό επιτελείο. Και παρόλο
που δεν τον παρεξηγώ και κατανοώ κάποιο
εκνευρισμό στα πλαίσια του παιχνιδιού, εύ-
χομαι να είναι λιγάκι πιο προσεκτικός όταν
παρατηρεί ή κατευθείνει τις αθλήτριές μας
on camera, για δύο κυρίως λόγους.
1. Τα κορίτσια αξίζουν ΣΕΒΑΣΜΟ ακόμα και
     όταν κάνουν λάθη. Κι εκείνος κι εμείς
     είμαστε τυχεροί για τις αθλήτριες που
     έχουμε, για την αγάπη, τη συνοχή και τη
     σύμπνοια και για την τιτάνια προσπάθεια.
2. Από την τηλεόραση και από το γήπεδο
    παρακολουθούν παιδιά που θαυμάζουν
    τα κορίτσια μας και ίσως, αν θελήσουν να
    ασχοληθούν με το άθλημα, να είναι οι επό-
    μενες Σταματοπούλου, Ξενάκη, Πλευρίτου
    ή Μυριοκεφαλιτάκη. Ας κάνουμε λοιπόν

Enormous, and perhaps fatal, mistake by the
"directors" at Panathinaikos who have agreed
to sell off Tetê to Grêmio. Anyone who has
watched this year's European games of the
club can attest to the fact that, without Tetê
on the right, who was able to wreak havoc
and to open defenses, Panathinaikos would
have been a colorless and incompetent team.
Too bad that what is patently obvious to the
team's followers means nothing to those in
charge...

FIFA pays millions in ads trying to convince
us that the game is for everyone and not for
the oligarchs and the sharks in Switzerland,
who pocket the money and suck up and make
gifts to the ultra-rich. If those ticket prices
are what they mean "for everyone", then they
have totally lost touch with reality. But, I hope
fans in the United States, Canada and Mexico
and fans all around the Globe are not idiots
and they understand what is going on.
I CALL ON A COMPLETE AND TOTAL
BOYCOTT OF ATTENDANCE IN THE
2026 WORLD CUP GAMES. FORCE FIFA TO
CHANGE ITS WAYS AND TO MARKET REA-
SONABLY IN A FIRST-COME FIRST-SERVED
BASIS AND NOT ON EXTORTIONATE MAR-
KETING THAT TRANSFORMS EVENTS TO
SOCIALITE AND CELEBRITY GATHERINGS
FOR CLOSED ELITES. I RENEW MY CALL
ON ALL ASSOCIATIONS TO IMPLODE THIS
TERRIBLE, GREEDY, INSATIABLE AND DE-
SPICABLE MONSTER THEY HAVE CREATED.
CREATE A NEW WORLD CUP NOW, DIRECTLY
ORGANIZED BY THE ASSOCIATIONS, WITH-
OUT BOSSES AND INTERMEDIARIES, AND
WITH ONLY THE WORLD'S TOP 24 TEAMS
PARTICIPATING!! We do not need an ultra
expensive circus where half of the World's
Nations that know how to kick a ball in the
backyard are in the finals.

They are absolutely right. It is high time
some watchdog groups called out what
is really happening at international level
to the detriment of Democracy and the
Rule of Law and to the ridicule of the
International Community and its customs.
Baby-leaders that like toys, awards and
gold and money, instead of being put in
their place, are appeased and being licked
clean and shiny and have their asses
wiped by subservient parasites in the
name of organizations and associations
they allegedly represent. I RENEW MY
CALL FOR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATIONS
AROUND THE GLOBE, UNDER THE
LEADERSHIP OF THE FA, TO IMPLODE
FIFA, and, if they do not have the guts
to do so, to start calling it DIFP, Dicta-
torship International of Football Para-
sites, and to withdraw their member-
ships and protect the specks of dignity
they have left.


The boss of a team is the manager. A player
cannot play "boss" nor can he be the "boss"
by definition, because, had that been the case,
we would not be talking about a team sport
like Football, but, rather, about an individual
sport, like tennis. So, like it or not, and no
matter how famous, how well paid and how
much of a prima donna he fancies himself,
Salah has to advise his parasitical agent to
start looking for another team for his "royal
highness". But should I be allowed a word
to the wise, I would tell him that Liverpool
made him who he is and that there is no
guarantee whatsoever that wherever he moves,
he would be the same revered striker. So, be
humble, apologize to Arne and your teammates
and work with them to continue the Legend.
Do not take unnecessary and wasteful risks.

It is obvious why Vini, who started out as
a kind and focused kid and avoided paying
attention to anything other than football,
staying in good form and improving, has
now been gearing towards becoming an
example to avoid. It is because he is seeing
that the footballing executives and the pa-
rasitical agents are rewarding such beha-
viors (see Neymar and Yamal) and the
more scatterbrained and obnoxious you
become, and the more publicity you draw
all for the wrong reasons, the better paid
you become and the better treatment you
get and the higher the esteem you enjoy.
If you want players to stay focused and
to behave, it is high time you fire prima
donnas and it is high time you either turn
down employing them or tell their agents
that the exorbitant, extortionate amounts
they demand are not going to pass.


If Napoli fires Antonio Conte, it will be the
worst move they could choose at this point
in time. If only they had done it a while ago,
before Juve had started looking for a coach,
we could have had a shot at one of the best
of the best in the Pantheon.

Ronaldo has cost some teams their reputation,
among them, unfortunately, the Best Team on
Earth, JUVE. We are going to neither forget nor
forgive, but the Saudi Al-A's Al-B's Al-Cs etc.,
who have more money than they know what to
do with and who have no clue how to play soccer,
except by overpaying to import its mechanics
and its retirees, either did nor realize what went
on, or simply forgot, or just never cared. Tant
pis pour eux... Sometimes, it's not up to you
whether you wish or submit to be "humble";
sometimes facts impose that you have to be.

CREMONESE-JUVE 1-2

Luciano Spalletti has been officially announced.
We are confident and we are optimistic, knowing
that Juve has at the top job one of the top doers
of Italian football, one of the members of the
Pantheon, probably for the first time after Max.
We will refrain from criticizing after each game
and we will be patient and afford time, but we are
expecting two things in return.
ONE, to see a consistent philosophy and style
in our game, regardless of wins or losses.
TWO, by the end of the 2027-2028 season, Juve
must be in a position to contest a scudetto to
the very end, and, also, to have a spot in the
final 4-8 of the Champions League. It is my
view that, for a Manager of this caliber, two
years is adequate time to show rapid progress
with eyes firmly on goal and this is not an un-
reasonable expectation, given our quality.

Με την ευκαιρία της επιστροφής του Λευτέρη
από τη Τζακάρτα και το Παγκόσμιο Πρωτάθλημα,
όπου κατέλαβε την 5η Θέση, είναι ώρα να στεί-
λουμε ένα μήνυμα σε όλα τα παιδιά που έχουν
ή είχαν κάποια προβλήματα και αγωνίζονται
να τα ξεπεράσουν, συμπεριλαμβανομένων
του Στέφανου και της Μαρίας, ότι τους παρα-
κολουθούμε πάντα και, στον αθλητισμό, πέραν
των επιτυχιών, υπάρχουν και οι ατυχίες και οι
αποτυχίες, αλλά τους περιμένουμε πάλι, με
ανυπομονησία, να ξεπεράσουν, με υπομονή,
επιμονή και δύναμη, τα προβλήματα και να
ξαναγιορτάσουμε μεγάλες επιτυχίες μαζί τους.

It is not what Curry feels or thinks or intuits.
The truth in this matter is objective. Having
allowed Americans and Europeans to bet &
bet in all 50 States and in all 27 States like
there is no tomorrow has created a terrible
environment for fixing, rigging and profiteering.
If the framework is not changed and reversed,
we shall see, with statistical certainty, many
more cases like this in the future. If Curry
is not worried, it it either because he is
uninformed and ignorant or because, him
being a multimillionaire (or billionaire?), it
is not going to affect him one way or another.
So let everyone else go fu*k themselves...


REAL-JUVE 1-0
FORZA JUVE!!
 
 
 

Juve is a Club that, besides ambitions,
has a History of Giants at its Helm. So
it is not productive to bring in to join
that company mediocrities and relatively
young names who experiment and do
not have a shaped philosophy and a
formed outlook on how a Team should
be organized and how the game should
be played and who have in mind anything
less than top spots and scudetti. Along
these lines and for these reasons, from
the names that are on the table right
now, I would be in accord with both
Roberto Mancini and Luciano Spalletti,
but would be more reserved about
Raffaele Palladino, even though he did
do good work at the Viola. Moreover,
this time around, if we do bring in a
name commensurate with JUVE's
HISTORY, we all have to be a little more
patient and give time to allow the philo-
sophy and shape that the senior coach
wants to infuse to materialize.


COMO-JUVE 2-0
Juve invested well and has definitely
better talent and a better whole than
last season, but the technical staff
seem unable to create harmony and
balance and to draw their best and
bring their unique qualities to the
fore. It is, in my view, apparent that
something has to change, and the
sooner the better. We are tired with
trying to be patient with choices that
seem questionable from the get go
and that should not have been made
in the first place.

Η Εθνική πιστή στις παροιμίες, "κάνε το

μεγάλη σημασία και για τους δύο αντιπά-
λους θέλουν απόλυτη συγκέντρωση και
υπερπροσπάθεια από το 0 μέχρι το 98.
Όμως με το που σκόραρε, η εθνική χαλά-
ρωσε και έχασε της συγκέντρωσή της λες
κι είχαν κλειδώσει τα πάντα. Και οι αλλα-
γές με παίκτες νέους, γρήγορους και με
τεχνική όπως ο Καρέτσας, ο Μουζακίτης
και ο Κωσταντέλιας, δες απέδωσαν γιατί
έγιναν τόσο αργά και όχι σταδιακά που
τα παιδιά δεν πρόλαβαν ούτε να ζεστα-
θούν ούτε να προσαρμοστούν. Τί να πει
κανείς και για τον Τζολάκη; Ανθρώπινα
τα λάθη βεβαίως, αλλά πολλοί ήρωα τον
ανέβασαν και ήρωα τον κατέβασαν από
πρώιμη ηλικία και κανείς δε γίνεται ήρωας
από τα δεκαέξι μόνο με τα λίγα που έχει
πίσω του και με τα πάρα πολλά που έχει
ακόμα μπροστά του. Έγινε "reset" αναμ-
φίβολα με τον Jovanovic, αλλά χρειαζό-
μαστε πάλι ένα mini reset επί του reset.

VERONA-JUVE 1-1
Not the best result at Verona. If Juve starts
shedding points with "weaker" opponents
from the start, it will be very difficult to fight
for a spot in the top four, let alone contest
the title. At least, it is a positive development
that the defense did not allow again multiple
goals. We have to manage to maintain that
solid attacking line without compromising
our traditional defensive prowess. A difficult
task, but that is what good coaches are for
and that is what a team of excellent players,
which was substantially strengthened during
the break, is supposed to be able to accomplish.
FORZA JUVE!!

could have been a triumph.

Let's call a spade a spade. When the coffers
in Switzerland get filled with bribes and other
rewards, then everything is OK and legit. If
Miami or Perth did not attach the necessary
bakshish, then playing there is verboten,
but if Riyadh or Doha leave some gold and
some Rolexes in passing from their offices,
then playing a World Cup in the desert, with
the sun at its apex, in the middle of August
in front of the "most enthusiastic fans of
the sport on earth" is sweet.
Let's also call a spade a space when it comes
to the National Leagues. They cry out foul that
their teams and their players are overexerted,
get exhausted by incessant games and by full
calendars. But, apparently, it is OK for them
to arrange games in other continents, to have
teams travel thousands of miles to play (as
long, I imagine, as the necessary "fixes" in
gifts and rewards to the bosses are provided).
What a shame and what a pretense both ways.
Football in the worst possible hands, with
greedy and pretentious vultures at the helm,
without any conscience and any constancy
or consistency in their values and in their
opinions, just getting blown around and
away, where the winds of money and bribes
gust and take them.


A terrible way to behave and a terrible thing
to say. And frustration cannot be an excuse,
nor the nonsensical demand to apologize for
something that is not unsportsmanlike, but
an ordinary occurrence in the run of play.
How many times, especially in volleyball,
have we not seen teams taking advantage
of some luck and some unexpected help from
the net, and one does not say ``sorry" to the
opponent in these instances, because one
is not sorry about anything; they just say
``thank you" to the net for helping out, and
they go on.
 

Και η Εθνική μπήκε με το δεξί στο Eurobasket

Η Ελίνα μας τα πήγε πολύ καλά στη Ζυρίχη,
όπως και ο Μανόλο τις προάλλες. Ο Μίλτος

χρόνου για να επανέλθει. ΜΠΡΑΒΟ, ΠΑΙΔΙΑ!
 

Ready to get back Randal!
