England star David Beckham rounded off a 4-1 victory for Milan yesterday with a powerful strike that shouldn’t have beat the keeper at his near post. Things are going great for Mr B in Italy, and in news that won’t please fans of the second worst team in the MLS, the on loan player dropped more hints that he will be staying with the Rossoneri:
“I can’t say what will happen. Even if my contract says that I’ll be here until March, we’ll have to see.
“At the moment I’m enjoying this experience. I’m at one of the biggest clubs in the world. And having won gives us confidence to continue.”
Will Beckham finally give up on his American dream? Will Darren “The legend from the Norfolk Team” Huckerby fulfill his potential as the greatest export to grace the continental United States? Stay tuned and find the answers on the next episode of The Spoiler! Probably.
Spoiler bonus: Full highlights of the Milan game, including a goal from some guy called ‘Kaka’ after the jump…
After cruising ahead 4-0 in the US vs European WAG war, our flag-waving friends at On205th have somehow managed to avoid a complete whitewash by clawing back a round: over the weekend, Carmella DeCesare narrowly defeated our very lovely Tanya Robinson.
Today, however, Europe will land right back on its sexy feet, as the little-known girlfriend of baseball player Hunter Pence (stupid name) takes on the hottest WAG from the hottest WAG nation on the planet, Italy…

Sorry Jose, looks like it’s the other San Siro team’s turn
Predicting the outcome of Serie A presents one of life’s more difficult challenges: the success/failure of teams must always factor in the degree of cheating/bribery/corruption in which they will partake. Though the league table may well be turned on its head come June because a player/manager/official/entire team has tried to fix matches, here’s what will happen…probably.
» Inter Milan secured their third successive Serie A title last season. Should they triumph this season, they will become the first team since Torino FC in 1945-49 to win the Italian league four years in a row.
» AC Milan have now gone four years without securing the Serie A title. They have not experienced a winless run of five or more seasons since before 1988.
» Chievo finished seventh in the pre-corruption standings in 2005/06 and finished 18th the following season. Empoli ended the 2006/07 season in seventh and were also relegated in 18th place the very next campaign. Udinese finished seventh last season - could they fall through the trapdoor this year?
As the well-travelled among you will know, every single Italian woman in her twenties looks like this. And as if the gents in the boot-shaped nation aren’t treated to enough aesthetic pleasure when they leave their homes, they get to see twenty-five-year-old Giorgia Palmas in racy magazine shoots and on Striscia la notizia, the Italian equivalent of The Daily Show that satirises government corruption. Presumably, it is a show that never runs out of material.
