Zebrette Photo of the Year
By: vin |Wow. Um… What can I say about this one without being *really* politically incorrect? Hmm… How ’bout “looks like a Roma celebration?” Inler looks so… graceful, and I just love the Boy Wonder look on Quags.
My last (grad school) assignment of the semester is due on Wednesday, so I’ll be able to post regularly once [...]
You can start worrying now.

Udinese 0-1 Chievo
Also, I’m posting this, but I’m not reading it.
This Wednesday, Udinese face a very good Croatian side in a UEFA Cup match. Sometimes teams in trouble come up big for big matches. That’s all I’ll say for fear of jinxing the Zebrette.
Nobody said this would be easy.

You may be surprised to know that I’m writing this post with a great sense of relief. Why relief? Well, until about two weeks ago, I was silently wondering when the Zebrette would finally hit a patch of turbulence. I knew it would happen eventually, but because it hadn’t occurred prior to that Milan trip, [...]
Field Trip to the Model U.N.
By: vin |-
Thank you, Zebrette. Thank you for keeping my faith in calcio alive.
If you haven’t had a chance to read the comments made by Quagliarella and Marino heading into tomorrow’s match with Inter (a.k.a. the Model United Nations), you friggin’ should. They provide quite a bit of insight regarding Udinese’s team culture as well as [...]
First Moscow… Then Inter
By: vin |-
On Thursday, Udinese face yet another unfamiliar opponent. This time, it’s Spartak Moscow, and I’m just hoping that Marino has sent his spy out again, because it appears as though Spartak’s coach already has already done his homework on Udinese.
Anyway, about these Russians:
They’re currently sixth place in the Russian Premier League. Funny… if you had [...]
Please place your seat back and tray in an upright position…
By: vin |…and hold on to your nuts, ’cause it’s about to get bumpy, kids.
It figures too; just as two giants of calcio (Juventus and Roma, in case you’re wondering) appear to be waking up from a seven-week slumber, one of them is due for a visit to Friuli. On top of that, in the following weeks, [...]
Toward the Break: Quotes, Thoughts, & Highlights
By: vin |As Serie A collectively heads toward the international break, it’s time a good time to turn around and take a look at the terrain we’ve covered thus far.
First off, I’m trying very hard to not get too excited about the fact that Udinese are currently in second place, because I realize that six weeks is [...]
Quagliarella = Sixth Zebra to Score
By: vin |First off, apologies for not posting more frequently. When I drop off the face of the Earth for a few days here and there, chances are, I have a grad school assignment due, and am allocating my time appropriately. Not to worry though; this next one’s due on Oct. 1, and after that, I should [...]
No Rest for Zebrette
By: vin |OK. We I have a lot of ground to cover following my grad school-induced disappearing act, so let’s get right into it.

Juventus 1 – 0 Udinese
First off, Juventus looked fantastic last week. It seemed like every time a player in blue (the color of Udinese’s away kits) got a touch on the ball, he was [...]
Brief Points Before Juve / Borussia Dortmund
By: vin |This one’s going to be quick, both because I’ve already posted some of my thoughts regarding the Juve match, and because my (grad school) semester just kicked into top gear.

On Juventus
It appears as though my fears regarding their roster were not unreasonable, as pretty much anyone who was injured (minus Chiellini, which helps a bit) [...]
