A little more than two weeks away from his 40th birthday, Francesco Totti hasn’t been given many chances to make an impact for Roma, but after coming off the bench at halftime against Sampdoria, he led his side to a comeback victory capped off by his stoppage time penalty (see the goal here). It was a moment that had fans weeping with joy, showing just how much they love this man.
Everything was going so well for Lazio keeper Federico Marchetti in Monday’s match against Sampdoria. He was working on a clean sheet late in the second half when Alessandro Matri scored to put Lazio up 1-0. Thrilled by this turn of events, Marchetti sprinted out of his area to try and celebrate with his teammates, but something went wrong. Very, very wrong.
Sampdoria owner Massimo Ferrero, who is a crazy person, has announced he will take off his clothes if his side beat Genoa in the Derby della Lanterna this season.
The shirts are becoming more powerful. Their numbers are growing. We are helpless to resist them. Give yourself over to them peacefully if you want to live.
Samuel Eto’o had a full afternoon in Sampdoria’s match against Cagliari and it might have all been down to the good karma he established for himself by stopping to tie the boot of Cagliari goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic.
The Italian press ran a story this week worthy of a Scooby Doo episode: That new Sampdoria signing Samuel Eto’o purchased a 40-room villa in Portofino, Italy that is cursed by Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun for €25 million (marked down from €40 million).
Last month, we discussed the possibility of Sampdoria owner Massimo Ferrero being a crazed hobo. And now we have confirmation that at least the first part of that is true not only for him, but the entire club.
Earlier this year, Sampdoria were bought by a man named Massimo Ferrero. He is a film producer and he is wonderfully odd. Every time the TV cameras cut to him during a match it looks as if he’s high on PCP and has no idea where he is.
