Good morning, buon giorno and happy Sunday!
How are you? I already had my Cappuccino while reading our first newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport. Now, I am having my strawberry banana yogurt.
So, here I am continuing with our mornings "Coffee Newspaper Reading." Did you have your coffee? If not, go ahead and prepare your coffee or tea and let's read Il Corriere dello Sport from this morning Sunday, July 20, 2008.
FC INTER
The top news is about Sweeden Forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic saying that there are no alarm.
Inter's doctor reassures Mourinho and fans that Ibrahimovic is Ok. Ibra joined his teammates for the 2008 -2009 Pre Season traning and hope to play the Supercoppa Italia against Roma on August 24, 2008.
Well, I am glad for Ibra because he is a top player and has been suffering from his knee for quite a while. Mourinho without Ibrahimovic would have just risked too much. Time has proved that Inter is "Ibra-dependent." Don't you think?
FC Juventus
It says that Juventus put a strong front. Ranieri lost his patience saying that too much talking only about Ronaldinho. He emphasizes that Juventus has lot of quality too.
Alessandro Del Piero already training. Yesterday, Del Piero gave a a good show with Amauri.
This news really makes me happy because it shows that Del Piero not only proved to be an excellen partner with David Trezeguet being the two 2 scorers of the Serie A but also that he can play with Amauri too. Though, I will continue testing the "Iaquinta-Amauri_ duo and leave Del Piero-Trezeguet as the leading Juventus force. What do you think?
Italy Women Under19 - Azzurrine
Yesterday, Italy Women National team Under 19 crowned as European Champions beating Norway with a goal by Alice Paris with a penalty kick.
AS ROMA
The headline says that Roma is also after Chelsea player Malouda. Point is that Real Madrid does not agree to let Julio Baptista join Roma on loan. So, Roma has to check other players if not resolving the transfer with Baptista. Good thing is that Roma coach Luciano Spalletti likes Malouda and even included him in his wish list about 1 month ago.
Though, the transfer of Malouda is not a piece of cake either because Chelsea Owner Avramovich paid 21 million euro when signing him from Lyon. The question is whether Roma will use their savings from the sales of Amantino Mancini and Ludovic Giuly, which so far is about 20 millions. Chances for sigining Malouda -on loan - is more plausible because he was a disappointment last season and most likely Coach Scolari would send him to the bench. So, Roma has good chances to negotiate the transfer of Malouda.
But what about the rumor of Atletico Madrid player Reyes? This will be even a better deal because Reyes is not having a good season. Plus, right now they are on tour in Mexico and Atletico lost the first 2 matches. Who would you pick for Roma Malouda or Reyes and why?
LAZIO
The transfer market agreement with Matusalem is done. Now, the next target is Fernandez.
NAPOLI
Headline is about "Europe calling Napoli," referring to today's match for the Intertoto in Greece against Panionios. Napoli returns to European competition after 14 years since December 7, 1994.
REGGINA
Confirmed the transfer of Carmona to Reggina.

Good morning guys.
Though not an interista, but glad to hear that Ibra is gonna be ok. Last year inter looked lost without him and with the CL being their primary objective they could have a huge problem if is out of action again.
Ranieri took the words right out of my mouth, this Dihno mania has to stop. We don't know how well he will do yet, and yes Juve has far more better squad. Let’s face it; they are more balanced than us in every aspect whether it is defense, offense, and goalkeeping. Plus they have mix of youth and experience and while their players might not sell as many jerseys or season tickets they will definitely win more games.
I would pick Malouda over Baptista and Reyes any day.
Congrats to our little women or girls should I say winning the u-19 euro championship.
I expect great things for Napoli this year; the team made some great signings and is moving towards the right direction. Forza Napule.

Good morning Nina and Anna, for me it's good afternoon.
INTER: I agree with you Anna and Nina that Inter without Ibrahimovic are in clear danger, they depend on Ibra and it was obvious last season, they could even lost the scudetto had not been from last intervention of Ibra, Man, inter fans should build a statue for the Sweden LOL.
JUVENTUS: Also agree and the media should stop the Ronaldinhomania comparing with every team because they are hurting us milanisti and offending others too, is not that guarantee that Dinho will be effective though i hope he will. Nina I agree Juventus is more balanced right now but not in the midfield, i thin Milan is better. Offense Juve takes the lead and defense.
ROMA: Man, definitely Malouda is a better option for Roma than Baptista, but i think Totti prefers Baptista.
AZZURRINE: How proud i feel for our girls, making history and now Europeans champions good sign for our Azzurrini in the Olympics. PO PO PO PO PO PO
Anna what happened to the cheerleading dancing, you did not mention dancing for the Azzurrine? you forgot LOL
NAPOLI: Denis has made a good impact so far and I believe in Hamsik and Lavezzi. All the best for Napoli and hope they win today.
What's your take guys?

Pierto,I agree with you,we should cheer on the girls too forza Azzurine.Napoli have won their game against Panionios 0-1 and it is time to sing Oje vita, oje vita mia oje core e chistu core.....
Hamsik is definitely the man for Napule and I admire him now even more after he turned down Mourinho offer.

Glad Ibra is OK! I hope to see a great Inter vs Roma game!
Ranieri is so right, the media talk too much about Ronaldinho as if he is the ONLY one that transfered!
Malouda is too old! he is good player of course but old for Roma to really want him instead of Baptista!
