Italian Clubs

Paulo Dybala lit Serie A on fire this year. The young Argentine was purchased for €32 million, and those who had kept tabs on him wondered if that transfer fee would end up being laughed at in the years to come, and for all the right reasons.

Simply put, Dybala is incredibly talented; another short forward the class of which Argentina has made its name producing. Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero, Ezequiel Lavezzi, and of course Lionel Messi have made their mark on the best leagues in the world, and Dybala seems to be destined to do the same. 

2006 World Cup winner Luca Toni signed off on his illustrious career with an audacious Panenka penalty against Juventus this weekend, leading Verona to a shock 2-1 victory over Juventus.

We'll give Napoli this: they put up quite a fight. Gonzalo Higuain and company kept the Serie A race at least watchable for most of the season, and for 88 minutes Monday against Roma it looked like the race would continue, at least mathematically, for another week. Then Roma's Radja Nainggolan put Napoli in a 1-0 hole and handed the Scudetto to Paul Pogba and Juventus, the Old Lady's fifth straight title.

And then during the celebration, Paul Pogba, one of the world's most coordinated humans, got super turnt and did this.

Paul Pogba was born March 15, 1993 in Langy-sur-Marne, Siene-et-Marne, France, about 50 miles north of Paris. Born to Guinean parents, he is the youngest of three, with two older twin brothers — Florentin and Mathias — who both ply their trade in football as well.

AC Milan and new coach Sinisa Mihajlovic are currently struggling for form. With just three wins in their first eight Serie A matches, questions about the manager’s future are already being asked at the San Siro. Rightly or wrongly, much more was expected from this team, which spent well over 86 million Euros in the summer.

This Sunday great emotions will return to Serie A, a league that is trying to recover its world-class status after being displaced by La Liga, the Bundesliga and the Premier League. Roma host Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico.

Juventus has won the last four Serie A titles (Scudettos), and lost to Barcelona in the Champions League final last June.

Unfortunately for Juventus, this summer they lost Arturo Vidal, Andrea Pirlo and Carlos Tevez.

Sometimes, you just need to know when to quit while you’re on top. 

For Ashley Cole, this could have been valuable advice when he was entering his last year with Chelsea before signing to Roma. After a long season of awkwardly fitting in with his new Italian club, Roma has decided to terminate Cole’s contract a year early. 

The most sought after midfielder in the world, Paul Pogba, will not go to Barcelona this summer, according to former Barcelona President and current Barcelona presidential candidate Josep Maria Bartomeu.

"This year we will not sign Pogba because he is not part of our sporting plans,” Bartomeu told Marca. 

The internet is flooded with highlight videos. A player simply has to be young, talented, and make a couple cool plays in a season for someone to string those plays together in iMovie, throw some banal techno music over it, and produce one of them. I say this like I hate them, and in many ways I do, but I also cannot deny that watching these videos can be about as addicting as it gets.
