'Bout drat time Serie A is back.

Just remember, friends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odZeT8T88f8

(Also if Napoli ends up signing Icardi--which they might, though Inter keeps jacking up the price--I will firmly be on Team Maurito/Wandita and will drive like this at all times:)

Roma just can't buy a goal.

Plus it looks like the curva boycott is still going on--isn't it not because of the team, but because of a stadium safety measure that split the curva into two sections?

Here is Ventura's first Italy squad:


Portieri: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Gianluigi Donnarumma (Milan), Federico Marchetti (Lazio).

Difensori: Luca Antonelli (Milan), Davide Astori (Fiorentina), Andrea Barzagli (Juventus), Leonardo Bonucci (Juventus), Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus), Mattia De Sciglio (Milan), Angelo Obinze Ogbonna (West Ham), Alessio Romagnoli (Milan), Daniele Rugani (Juventus).

Centrocampisti: Federico Bernardeschi (Fiorentina), Giacomo Bonaventura (Milan), Antonio Candreva (Inter), Daniele De Rossi (Roma), Alessandro Florenzi (Roma), Riccardo Montolivo (Milan), Marco Parolo (Lazio), Marco Verratti (Paris Saint Germain).

Attaccanti: Andrea Belotti (Torino), Eder Citadin Martins (Inter), Manolo Gabbiadini (Napoli), Ciro Immobile (Lazio), Leonardo Pavoletti (Genoa), Graziano Pelle’ (Shandong Luneng).

Romagnoli and Donnarumma have made the jump from the under 21 side. Still missing Marchisio to injury, and shithouse Montolivo is somehow in. Good to see Belotti in there on his current form. The formation is expected to remain the same as Conte's, which is good since that was what Ventura played at Torino as well.

Just seems so weird to see an Italy squad--or just about any Euro international squad--with a player who plays for a Chinese club.

Ferrero's got some, shall we say, choice words for Antonio Cassano

quote:

“He is not a very intelligent person,” slammed President Ferrero on Rete Sport.

“Evidently he decided to make himself into a sacrificial lamb. He must’ve said to himself: ‘I am Cassano, a great player who gave so much to football, so if I stand here and train alone then someone will talk about me.’

“Maybe he also thought: ‘If I actually play, then will they stop talking about me?’ He behaved very badly, so now it’s only right he stays there and reflects on the situation.

“I was prepared to pay his entire wages if he went to Entella. He could’ve ended his career on a high, maybe taking them into Serie A, but he turned me down. I spoke to him twice, then gave up.

“When Antonio argued with our lawyer Romei, I said we’d write a letter of dismissal and he gave me his word of honour that he’d leave. Instead, nothing.

“Tough, he’ll spend a year under a duvet and train wearing socks.”

There's rumors floating around that Frank de Boer is going to get sacked if he doesn't have at least a draw v Juve this weekend.

(Also, La Gazzetta's English site is down right now if any of you guys read that, but there's a message saying they're going to be back soon with an expanded English-language section.)

Thanks. Yeah I'm gonna try to get to the point where the family and I only speak Italian on the weekends or something. And eventually do that with Albanian.

I might be going to Italy soon but not in a good way. Father in Law was just diagnosed with lung cancer. He has tumors on both lungs and had trouble breathing. The sick part, is that he could have come in a year ago and almost guaranteed walking away alive. Now he has a 30% survival rate. Poor gently caress doesn't even know. He thinks it's an infection.

So, might be going to Italy soon :negative:

Never, ever change, Italian newspaper headlines when Juve lose:

Gazzetta--"INTER GO CRAZY: With Super Mauro, Juve knocked off 2-1"
Corriere--"INTER CELEBRATE, NAPOLI GO TOP: What a wild Sunday for the Serie A table"
Tuttosport--"YOU LOST THIS ONE, ALLEGRI: Higuain on the bench, Pjanic as regista, Asamoah starting (and oh, those transfers!)"

I admit, I laughed at the Viola player picking up the ball for a throw-in before, you know, the ball fully crossed the line to go into touch

e: nice reception from Carlos Bacca, good to see Milan pick up the first down there (yeah, it was because Niang went down hurt but still)

Maurito just signed a new deal: €5.5mm/year (that's €185k per week if you want it expressed British-style), release clause of €110mm, 50/50 split of image rights between him and Inter. He's now the 3rd highest paid player in Serie A, behind Higuain (€7.5mm/year) and De Rossi (€6.8mm).

What is a green card?

It's a thing Serie B introduced this year to reward acts of good sportsmanship on the pitch. The team/player with the most green cards at the end of the season get cash prizes.

I honestly hope there's no idiocy today, and I'm surprised that the game is on late rather than early. Guess the police in Naples (lmao) don't care.

Also of loving course the game is only on streaming in the US, because Barcelona is playing at the same time against the team that's dead last in La Liga and BeIn just has to show another MAGISTERIAL 9-0 shitkicking.

There aren't many good things about Inter, but two of them are their strip and that "Amala" is a loving banger.

There, I said something nice about Inter, the shower of fucks.

Napoli: Reina; Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam; Zielinski, Diawara, Hamsik; Callejon, Gabbiadini, Insigne.

Inter: Handanovic; D'Ambrosio, Ranocchia, Miranda, Ansaldi; Brozovic, Kondogbia; Candreva, Ever Banega, Perisic; Icardi.
