Serie A Transfer Market Talk Lampard for Inter and "Overweight" Ronaldinho for Milan from La Gazzetta dello Sport, June 30, 2008

By Anna Italia

Good morning. Have you had your coffee or tea?   Time to talk about  the highlights from Italy's leading Sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Here is the front page from today, Monday, June 30, 2008.  Two points on the Serie A Transfer Market:
  • First Serie A Transfer -  FC Inter with Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard who rather than talk about his transfer to Inter, prefers to think about the beach while vacationing in Taormina. I don't blame him! Go have fun at the beach.
  • Second Serie A Transfer  - AC Milan with Barcellona forward Ronaldinho.  Ronnie participated in Venezuel in a fund raising match with his buddy from Barcelllona Lionel Messi. Friends of Ronaldinho versus Friends of Lionel Messi. Ronaldinho scored 2 goals and gave a great show, but "he is overweight."

Naturally, the main headline is for "the UEFA EURO 2008 Final Germany - Spain.

I agree with their statement that Spain dominated Germany. 

Of course, special mention is also to the goal from "El Niño Torres" giving the Championship to Spain.  

You bet it must be a happy moment not only for the footballers but also for Spain #1 Tennis player Rafael Nadal who keeps a diary in "La Gazzetta dello Sport" where he predicted Spain's victory. 

Nadal  got the result right, but missed the score.  I checked Nadal's personal website and he  predicted Germany 1 - 2 Spain.  Though, come on, hello, Spain won after all. 

I was glad for Torres scoring the goal because he is among my favorite players. Also, happy for Rafael Nadal because he is my fitness role model.  However, I could not celebrate Spain's victory happily because my heart was sad for not seeing Italy lifting the trophy.  Yet,  all my compliments for Spain  and congratulations for breaking the curse of not winning.  It took 44 years to lift again a European Champion Trophy.  Well done from an Italian Soccer fan.  I hope next time Italy will win the EURO. Good luck to Nadal who plays today against Youzhny in Wimbledon.

      Milan99, but it is true, he is overweight. I watched him play in a charity match 2 or 3 nights ago. It was a match between two teams, Messi's friends Vs. Ronnie's friend. He was out of shape big time.

                Let me just laugh to my heart content with CASSANO being your fitness role model!!!! He barely manages to be in shape... so start getting another model LOL

                Instead, Nadal, Totti, Maldini, Legrottaglie, Nesta, BUFFON, Del Piero, they all keep in good shape. But Nadal beats them all in fitness.

                I will send you an email.

                  Anna,Cassano is my role model because I'm like him, out of shape lol. Nadal is a young Tennis player,but I wonder how good he would be at age 40 and running for 90 minutes like Maldini.Maldini could easily be Nadal's father being 18 years his senior.
                  Please, do send me the e-mail.Thank you.

                        Anna,L'amore e cieco,Cassano in my eyes will always be the best. I was being sarcastic when I said he is my role model though. I'm rooting for Nadal as well because he is friends with my Real Madrid guys.

    Hi Milan99,
    Who's your favorite tennis player? Mine is Djokovic so I had no particular favorite in today's Wimbledon final.
