Serie A 2018/2019

Bein Sports is the only legal option if you’re willing to pay

Late reply, but they are showing all big Serie A matches on TLN as well as some smaller ones. I think it is with basic cable/Fibe TV channel 700 with Bell. Great quality and English commentary.

Awesome didn’t know that. Is it HD though?

Yep. It's really good - look at the highlights on the site I linked. They really should've made this more public Lol. Their Serie A coverage is absolutely amazing.

Apparently, Corriere della Serra is reporting that Sparta Prague owner Daniel Křetínský is interested in buying Roma. According to La Repubblica he was trying to buy Milan. In both cases he was thoroughly rebuffed, so it's news about nothing really, it's just kind of amusing because Sparta has been in a relative rough patch the last couple of years, so it's kind of the last thing either of those teams should really want.

Pallotta won't sell unless he can't build a stadium. If Roman bureaucracy continues to be ridiculous , he may just end up doing that.

Within the next year, we should know whether the stadium happens or not.

Is the Laziale mayor still delaying the project? I remember reading that she was trying to delay the stadium because of the Roma-Lazio rivalry

lol , who the hell knows man.... only in Italy can a guy willing to spend 100s of millions of his own money to create jobs be given this much grief.

My uncle lives near Roma and it took 3 years to get a permit to lower the curb in front of his driveway.

The bureaucrats don't give a shit about those millions of dollars unless they're going right into their pockets. The Italian government and the mafia are one and the same. They refer to the government as the "legal mafia" over there.

Wow , really? I mean , I guess your Uncle's situation is a microcosm of the **** Pallotta's dealing with.

There's clearly deep rooted issues in Italy , and I'm sure people more invested know more about than I do ... I just want the damn stadium built haha. We're stuck in purgatory until we have it.

I dunno , from what I've read , there's still reason to have hope, but it's hard not to be cynical about it all. Any other country and it would've been built already. Pallotta's been trying since 2011.

 

[Il Mediano]

Oh yeah , I almost forgot , what do you think of the Wenger news?

I think it's super harsh on Rino.

I can't stand Wenger. Combine that with the fact that Rino has done a good job with a squad that's still got tons of holes in it and I'm not very happy. I don't think there are many better man motivators than Gattuso, and he's surprisely good tactically as well. 4th place is about as good as can be expected given the squad he's got at his disposal, and they'd have even more points if Donnarumma didn't keep throwing games away. The only manager that I'd consider replacing Gattuso with is Conte, and it doesn't sound like he's interesting in coming to Milan.

Indeed, this was the aspect the rumours were playing on, but I don't think foreign financing is somehow the key to unlock the situation.

Any other country and it would've been built already.

I think it's important to point out that people say this everywhere

Italy is worse than literally any other country for this. It's worth mentioning again that the Stadio della Roma will be 100% privately funded. Any other country and local officials would be tripping over themselves to get this thing approved and built. If they wanted to repaint the parking lot of the Stadio Olimpico it would probably take them at least 3 years to get approval from the city. The amount of bureaucracy in that country is a joke.

Look, I could go on a massive diatribe about the stadium , but I don't think anyone cares enough. When I say it's pretty much because of how ridiculous Italy is , I'm not being hyperbolic.

Pallotta has been ready with his shovel for over 5 years.

Juve v Milan starting soon. Big game.

Ventura has stepped down lol

Really? Lol

Mandzu makes it 1-0.

 

[koyvoo]

League table could really use a Milan win here. Particularly with Inter crashing and burning earlier.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Really? Lol

Mandzu makes it 1-0.

I criticized starting Mandzu. Glad I was wrong about him again.

I like Bentancur but don’t think he’s Juve starting material. Give me a more creative midfielder.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Lmao Higuain misses a penalty

 

[maclean]

omg Higuain

hits the post on a penalty shot..

 

[Juve]

Higuain doing Higauin things!

Benatcur needs to develop. Yes, I do agree we need a more creative midfielder and a destroyer type too. This whole midfield is needs to be revamped. I still can't believe we let go of Marchisio and kept khedria

 

[Cassano]

Higuain lost his mind

 

[Juve]

Omg..lol!! You can't make this shit up. Higauin body checks Benatia. He should have just accepted the yellow card and moved on. It was a legit foul. He starts screaming, receives his second yellow and red. I think Ronaldo taunted him. Chiellini tried to call him down. This is too funny.

This game! Higauin misses a penalty, Ronaldo scores and Higauin is red carded.

 

[Luigi Habs]

He’s had a horrid game. Against his ex-team that kicked him out in favor of Ronaldo. Missed a penalty - to be fair his shot was good Scezny made a great finger save. Then Ronaldo scores and then he lost his mind.

Benatia was MOTM for me. Solid game.
