Inter beat them 7-0 away last season.

Ahh thanks for that, I just couldn't place the actual scoreline, so I guess Inter look forward to playing them every time, whilst the opposite occurs for Sassuolo fans.

inter are the best team in italy.

Right...

I'm still crossing fingers on a Cremonese rejuvenation. You just don't see red and grey together enough.

dont be bitter about 2010

14 years ago today apparently, a certain 13 year old Argentine child joined Barca's youth academy.

What a momentous anniversary.

14 years ago today a certain Munch was 14 years younger than he is now. Let the celebrations begin!

And Paula Yates died.

Okay thanks for that.

You're welcome.

Did we ever find out who this 13 year old kid ended up being?

14 years and 1 day ago today apparently, a certain 13 year old Argentine child joined Barca's youth academy.

considering this is a European football thread i welcome your fact of the day.

One day ago today, an ex-Arsenal player scored against CSKA Moscow as far as I recall

who was that?

batdude is referring to lionel messi, the greatest player of all time possibly who plays in la liga, a europeon league.

i take it your player must be someone huge in europeon football history too?

Gervinho, who plays for European team Roma in the European Serie A and scored against European CSKA Moscow in the European Champions League.

Considering this is a European football thread I welcome my fact of the day.

never said it wasn't welcomed chap, just you should really name the player as he isn't quite on messi's recognition level and also that day vs moscow wont go down as significant as messi joining barcas academy i am sure you will agree.

If only we could predict the future in such a manner.

A certain Brazilian great turns 38 today, Sky sources understand.

Great news, thanks for posting.

What an absolute joke the FIFA world rankings are.

Wales scrape past Andorra and it gives them a TWELVE place boost up to 29th!

Not really. The points are calculated over 4 years, so Wales haven't just gained points by beating Andorra, their defeat to Montenegro in September 2010 no longer pushes their ranking down hence the relatively big change in their ranking points and their position in the rankings.

Interested to see how Inter pan out this season. Personally expect Juventus and Roma for the top two spots but Napoli's inconsistency could open up the third CL spot. Wouldn't be surprised to see any of Inter, Fiorentina or Napoli take it this season. Not including Milan in that simply because I've no clue what to expect from the merry go round at the club, still so much work to do there.
