Serie A 2015/2016

[Keith Putnam]

Definitely going to be the most interesting season in a long time.

Well that's good... I just sprung for a BeIN Sport subscription so I can watch Serie A this year (okay, and La Liga and some other stuff...)

I hope all of the smaller teams can make some waves and actually compete this season.

Sassuolo I think will be the team to watch. They have a few players that seem on the cusp of exploding, and they've been slowly building every season with the same manager. I don't even think they'll really miss Zaza this season.

 

[Keith Putnam]

Inter v. Milan starts in about 10 minutes. I figure if I'm at all serious about keeping up with Serie A this year then this match is a must-watch.
Thoughts about the Milan teams this year from anyone? I'm told they're both making rebuilding attempts.

Milan derbies have been insanely boring the last few years.

Really not expecting a lot from AC Milan this year. For Inter, anything less than third would be a failure.

Yes, I've heard that's been the history. However, the match was definitely not boring. Dynamic, end-to-end stuff and Balotelli made Milan quite threatening after he came on. Both sides did squander a lot of chances, though, and there was a lot of interruption in the second half with fouls and minor injuries. Still, it was a good watch.

Balo looked pretty good tbh. I've been a Balo fan, not of his play, but more of his potential and I think he gets a raw deal...yes, sometimes deserved.

Francesco Totti scores his 300th goal for Roma. Pretty amazing considering he isn't even a striker.

He is a king tho...

 

[Mario]

also considering he moves 30 yards per game but still manages to kill everyone. legend.

Totti probably the most underrated (outside of Italy) living soccer legend, right?

 

[Mario]

his goal against my inter in 2004 i believe, where he chipped julione may be one of my top 5 all time favorite goals ever.

Yes

I honestly feel bad for those who have only watched English soccer because they have missed the beauty that is Totti. One of the best 10's of all time.

From the past, Dario Hubner, the only together with Igor Protti to topscore serie A, serie B and Serie C.

Looks like Madrid is going to make a strong Push for Dybala. Can't see Juventus letting him go in the midst of another title run...and CL run.

 

[whill4]

Juve only sell when it's stupid money. They'll probably end up getting something close to 200 million between him and Pogba.
