Europe’s Pass Masters: A Look At The Top 8 Creators So Far This Season

We’re almost a third of the way through the 2019-20 European club season, giving us an ample enough sample size to analyze this year’s current statistics in a somewhat meaningful way. There’s one giant caveat to it all and that’s Lionel Messi’s restricted start to the campaign due to a calf strain followed by an abductor muscle injury. He’s only started three of Barcelona’s nine league games thus far, so he's yet to dominate every statistical category.

Francesco Totti Dominates Italy Vs. Germany Legends Match

When Germany and Italy lineup in international play, you stop what you’re doing and take notice — even if the players on show are in their 40s, 50s and 60s. On Monday, a team of Azzurri Legends — with a starting XI comprised entirely of ’82 and ’06 World Cup-winners — played against a team of Germany All-Stars in Fürth.

Daniele De Rossi's Imminent Move To Boca Juniors Just Feels Wrong

Former Roma captain Daniele De Rossi has landed in Buenos Aires, Argentina to complete his medical ahead of a move to Boca Juniors.

The 18-year Roma veteran was released following the 2018-19 season, but not being ready to retire, De Rossi decided to look to play elsewhere. He appeared for the capital club 616 times, second only to Roma's other legendary gladiator Francesco Totti, who retired after the 2016-17 season, with 785.

This Is AS Roma’s New Away Jersey, And It’s The Best There Is

It’s difficult to feel all that great about the direction AS Roma is heading under American president James Pallotta, who admitted that last season was a “complete disaster.” Coupled with that has been Francesco Totti stepping down as club director while lamenting, “It was not my fault… Today is like dying. It would have been better to die,” and the ugly departure of fellow club stalwart Daniele De Rossi, who’s now reportedly set to retire at the age of 35.

Roma's Using Transfer Announcements To Raise Awareness For Missing Children

Ronaldo Mocks Roma Captain’s Height; Roma Captain Scores Game-Winning Goal

Roma defeated Serie A champion-elect Juventus 2-0 at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday to keep its hopes of a spot in next season’s Champions League alive. Juventus has already secured an eighth straight Scudetto, but the Old Lady is now winless in its last three matches. 

Roma’s Jerseys For The 2019-20 Season Are Stunning

Following last season’s run to the Champions League semifinals, it’s been a quintessential Roma response to potential success this campaign: The club has gone on tilt, including a 1-7 defeat to Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia, a heartbreaking exit to Porto in the UCL Round of 16 and a disappointing current standing of fifth in Serie A, all of which led to the firing of manager Eusebio Di Francesco and the exit of sporting director Monchi.

Pepe Makes Edin Dzeko Collapse By Screaming 'F*** YOU' In His Face

We got 10 years of Pepe at Real Madrid, and if time weren’t such a cruel mistress, we could’ve been blessed with 10 more. I, for one, would welcome an eternal version of Pepe, a timeless incarnation of shithousery that doesn’t care about VAR now being a thing — a mad lad with his face cast in an eternal scowl, eyebrows bulging cartoonishly from his skull and always looking for fingers to stomp on and fouls suffered to greatly exaggerate. 

Edin Dzeko Scored A 95th-Minute Winner With His, Uh, Crotch

As a striker, you’ve gotta do whatever it takes to score. Sometimes that means bending the rules and using your hand. Sometimes that means using every inch of your body, like this Edin Dzeko goal vs Frosinone on Saturday.

AS Roma had a wild trip to Frosinone’s Stadio Benito Stirpe on Saturday night. The home side led after five minutes, Roma took the lead with two goals in 72 seconds and Frosinone equalized in the 80th minute. 

Rangers Goalie Scores PK, Denies Player Who Taunted Him To Win Epic Shootout In U-17 Al Kass Cup Final

Goalkeeper Lewis Budinauckas made a penalty and then saved one moments later to send Rangers past AS Roma at the Al Kass International Cup, a U-17 club competition growing in prestige every year, on Friday in Doha, Qatar. 

The teams were tied 1-1 through regulation, sending the match immediately to a shootout. Tied 3-3 after the first five spot kicks, both teams traded goals in the first five rounds of sudden death, including both goalkeepers converting on the 10th attempt (both teams had been reduced to 10 men through the course of the match).
