Serie A 2015/2016

Dybala made a little toe poke while being taken down to almost score against Lazio today. It looked simple but was brilliant. He does so many amazing little under-appreciated things that only become more apparent when you see the replay.

Sarri has been doing a great job at Napoli, but he may have stepped in a load in his tiff with Mancini.

I'm not sure how being a homophobe equates to being a racist, though.

Sarri faces a ban of up to four months. He has violated the Italian FA's code (Article 11, Chapter 1), which applies to all players, club officials and coaches.

homophobia and racism is completely different concepts. why people have been putting it together is beyond me... both should obviously have no place in football, but a point should be made when these problems happen. giving a 2 game ban wont stop him from doing it again, im sure.

Any kind of a ban doesn't change people's attitudes or inclinations. Just ask Suarez.

Matt Miazga is a clifton boy too.

I met Rossi this past summer at some Italian deli near Columbus Circle. He was in town for a charity event. I said something in regards to playing for NYCFC and he laughed it off. The guy is so insistent on playing for Italy that his career is starting to nosedive, yes mostly due to injuries...But he could have been a MLS and USMNT star.

Guys...any thoughts on tonight's Roma v Fiorentina?

Congrats to Juventus for taking a 5th straight title and Scudetto #34. After a slow start, they dominated the rest of the season.
