I had such high hopes that this league was going to be rejuvenated by talent, but that Roma/Lazio game was absolutely terrible to watch. Sadly this is by far the least interesting league of the major five.

Also I will laugh whoever spends 60+ million on Koulibaly, he is Serie A's version of Kurt Zouma.

Not sure what game you watched because Lazio-Roma was very entertaining. Did you watch only a random 10 minutes of the game? 3 goal posts by Lazio the first 25 mins. 6 in total by both clubs. Game was open and entertaining. 2nd half had dull moments but overall a decent game. To be fair any game at the Olimpico might look boring. They need a new stadium.

I see Juventus has left Can off their CL squad. He's not long for the top I would guess.

Low key one of the best things to happen during Liverpool's overhaul was Can deciding he would rather play for Juventus than us. What an immediate lift to the midfield.

Well, to be fair, it's got less to do with Serie A and more to do with ultras (here, for example, ultras are almost exclusively right-wing - and a huge number of them are involved in criminal activities, be it petty theft, drugs, etc. or something more severe).

But yes, their letter is so cringe worthy that it's hard to read it whole without nopeing out of it.

Great job by Sarri dropping Mandzo for Higuain, why keep a guy who scores in every big game he played in when you can get a bottler instead.

Can has gone on record saying that Juventus lied to him before the closing of the transfer window promising him CL football then when he was considering a move.

Mandzukic is finished, had gone a little over 3 months without scoring a goal. Kean almost tied his total amount of goals in half the amount of games played. They are better off converting him into a CB. He like Higuain, Khedria, and Matuidi refused to offers from other teams.

Finally caught up on watching some Serie A last night.

If big teams are not dumb someone will pick up Junior Traore after this season. Incredibly good for a just-turned-19 year old midfielder.

Also the club has done nothing to condemn the letter, throwing their own player under a bus in order to appease racist fans. Sadly there's nothing new to this, Italian football has been sick for a long time already and it's not getting any better.

Serie A players need also to step up and be vocal about it. Instead, we have scums like Bonucci blaming his teammate for the racist chants, and they award him by giving him the armband!

Such chants are pretty distasteful, but maybe it's all a tactic. After all by being so obnoxious they deter American hipsters from becoming 'fans' and acting like they have more of a claim to the league than the fans that have been involved at the grassroots for decades.

So Serie A is finally earning some interest from bigger players and fans do this...

Still disgusted by Bonucci throwing the young Moise Kean under the bus. The kid is every bit as Italian as him even if his parents are immigrants.
