If you do not learn from history, Zlatan Ibrahimovic will force you to repeat it: How Milan and their ageless talisman became unlikely title contenders

Milan + Ibra's incredible run has shook me out of a three year football writing hiatus. Check it out.

Hey Sam you don’t seem as interested in Serie A as you used to be

Stories like this have crushed any remaining hope I ever had for the restorative nature of Italian football

📰 @BilbaoHiria: Iraola reportedly turned down Milan’s offer. According to sources close to the coach, he was said to be ‘surprised’ that ‘a club with the historical stature of Milan has only one-third of the transfer budget offered by Crystal Palace.

Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own

Pickford; James, Guehi, Burns, O’Reilly; Rice, Anderson; Saka, Bellingham, Gordon; Kane - is my guess?

England will be functional, and tough to watch. Tuchel may be astute but he’s squeezed a lot of life out of this England squad with TAA/Palmer/MGW all missing out.

Real Madrid deserve this. They hardly defend, they don’t track back, they don’t work hard out of possession and they bitched and moaned when a coach tried to get them to defend as a unit. I hope Bayern win 9-0

ESPN sources: Giants All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade and he will not be participating in the team’s off-season workout program that opens Tuesday.

Lawrence and the Giants have been through two off seasons attempting to negotiate a contract reflecting his value to the Giants over the last three years, but there has not been any progress, per sources.

Italian football, as we remember it, is now as tangible a thing as those grainy videos of yesteryear that nostalgia mining social media accounts use to sift through the bones of a once great sporting institution.

[Sam Lewis @SamCalcio]

Italy’s Azzurri decline is just one of the many microcosms of a dilapidated footballing culture. The stadia, the fiscal mismanagement, the inability to compete on a global scale for media market shares, TV money, the provincial approach to league development, the racism.. sigh.

[Sam Lewis @SamCalcio]

As someone who has followed Serie A in varying degrees during the period of its sharpest decline, it is hard to see any light at the end of the tunnel without complete and total reform in almost every facet.
