Should be a good season, hopefully Napoli will keep their best players and keep pushing the more established big clubs, not that they aren't a huge name in Italian football. Novara have Morimoto from Catania but I doubt he can keep them up on his own. Udinese will be looking to keep up that ridiculous form from the end of last season without Sanchez. Inter will want Tevez if they do sell Sneijder, and Milan could get Hamsik from Napoli!

Are they going to be showing Italian football on a Sunday Night? Sometimes I find it hard to Sleep and could do with some slow crap football to send me off.

I understand what your saying though. I think people are harsh on Serie A. Its probably not as defensive as people think. Its certainly a more tactical game. The empty 70,000 seat stadiums is what hurts it the most IMO.

I love serie A, can't wait!!

I said two months ago Juventus were on the up, and it got dismissed by a juve fan on here, well I'm going to say it again juve are on the up but at our expense it seems

I agree actually, I reckon they'll get back in the top four. Either way I'm eager to see how Reto Ziegler gets on at there.

I read somewhere that Taddei could be playing as a full back in Roma's new system, looking forward to seeing how they line up.

 

[Dare!]

Forza Napoli!

Forza Napoli!

I'm very interested to see how Cavani gets on. Will be good to see Hamsik in the CL too.

So nobody watching the Super Cup Milan derby in the birds nest then??? Very good game so far, Inter playing a 3-4-3 and are dominating the game mostly but Milan have also created some good chances.

So far Inter lead 1-0 through a Sneijder free-kick. Gatusso should have been sent off for 2 reckless tackles but the ref left it alone.

 

[DEFchenkOE]

1-1, and it's Ibra

 

[CaptainCat]

Really good game. I was confused that it's in China, but that stadium looks full to me.

 

[Vedi]

Didnt even know it was on today. Now already too late to start watching

 

[DEFchenkOE]

2-1 ac milan, and its the ghetto kid with the goal after great play by Pato.

 

[DEFchenkOE]

Inter haven't quite looked the same since Alvarez went off, I'm REALLY glad Arsenal didn't sign him!!

The Bird's Nest looks pretty awesome as a football stadium when it's full I have to say.

 

[Vedi]

Did Castaignos play for Inter? If Yes, what was your impression of him?

 

[kishman]

Really good game. I was confused that it's in China, but that stadium looks full to me.

Sooner or later, the Community Shield will be in Asia.

I agree with Defchenko, the Bird's Nest looks awesome.
