2015-16 Italian Serie A Discussion

Not over yet

[J-Mezzy]

Seems like they put too much on Pogba's shoulders. He needs more help

Good goal

Marchisio will be back next game and Pereyra should have started.
I'm glad Alex Sandro will start next match as well

[Baphomet]

Wow, Sneezy! Maybe not so useless after all

Too close for comfort

[Doormatt]

holy **** i almost hhad a heart attack. what a save

[magik9113]

Roma are fortunate to have met us this early

But Allegri seriously has to stop being an idiot

[Doormatt]

doesnt look like draxler is coming so i would say things are not looking so great for juve going forward. Sandro and cuadrado will have to be immense.

[magik9113]

Alls we need is Marchisio. Padoin is like playing a man down. Asamoah will be back soon too so our midfield will never have to suffer such severe lack of creativity again

[magik9113]

Jovetic keeps scoring, Lazio got embarrassed, and Napoli-Samp was a tale of two halves with Higuain and Eder both getting two goals.
Eder's second was brilliant, I'm sure glad he's "Italian"

[magik9113]

Hernanes and Lemina to Juve
Perisic, Felipe Melo, Telles, and Llajic to Inter
Blaszczykowski to Fiorentina

Inter keeps getting stronger

[magik9113]

I'm actually feeling a little better about Italy after those two 1-0 wins, despite them not being super impressive. The Bulgaria game was good, I was happy with how De Rossi-Verratti worked out in midfield. Pelle' was great and El Shaarawy looked good again. Conte finally seems to have clearer ideas about what he wants to do.
Buffon;
Darmian, Bonucci, Chiellini, De Sciglio;
De Rossi, Verratti, Marchisio;
Candreva, Pelle', Eder/El Sha
I would be content with that lineup going into the Euros

Forza Roma!

Gonna start monitoring the Serie A more with emphasis on Roma (just came back from Rome and absolutely loved the city). Any other Roma fans in here?

(Not gonna lie, Chelsea sucking plays a little part in this decision )

Doormatt is a Roma fan. Serie A is set to be very exciting this year considering several teams look stronger and Juve lost their first two matches

[treiz]

Yeah just looked at the table and Chievo is on top (even though it's only been 2 games) and it seems that Inter is on the verge of a comeback.

[Doormatt]

its impossible to not fall in love with Rome if you spend any time there, even though my family is not originally from there it is still my favorite.

[Baphomet]

Also chiming in on the Rome love. I went there in 2010.

Beautiful city. Brimming with culture (and insane drivers!)

Everything there was incredible, from Tratesvere to the Vatican to the Colloseum, I was just in awe of everything.

Also, of course I had to get the customary Roma shirt with Totti.

That was one of the best parts, I felt like I couldn't be a true Roma supporter until I learned how to cross the road like an Italian

Crossing roads in Rome is like playing real life Frogger.

Piazza Navona and the Colosseum are astonishing at night, and a smidge bit quieter on the touristy front. I actually bought an Italy national team shirt when I was there, although my lame attempts at speaking in Italian didn't impress the curmudgeonly shopsmith.

I've always had a soft spot for Roma and Totti too, and Italian football in general I guess. It was probably from growing up with Football Italia on Channel 4 with James Richardson. That bloke's enthusiasm was contagious.

It really was

Yeah I managed to see the Colosseum in the evening, some of the scaffolding took some shine out of it but once you move to away from that it truly was a sight to behold, glad I went on the first Sunday of the month too. Sad I didn't get to see Trevi fountain since there's still works being done there but still looked pretty. My Italian was slacking at the beginning but got pretty good in the end, managed to convince the owner of a hostaria in Tratesvere to have some limoncello with me

I had the same experience too with James Richardson! You listen to his podcast?

I found making eye contact was very important with both Roman and Moscovite drivers. As long as I stared them down I could cross whenever and wherever I chose to. Even when I was the jerk who was crossing a major road right as their light turned green.
