    Roma trying to come up to our level instead of bringing us to theirs. Because their owner is American capitalist :tuttosport:

    I don't really see how he's any better defensively. Definitely not as good offensively considering how often Juan has popped up for us in big moments.

    I would be excited to take Cancelo from them but I saw him get dribbled by Missiroli.

    So who does Roma give us in the summer after we let them win and guarantee them bags of CL money? :snoop:

    I feel like you can post that Raiola quote every 2 weeks in Italian football, "In Italy they try to bring you down instead of rising to your level. That's why there is no progress." Or something like that.

    Ya sometimes I would agree. But every team thinks they can teach him to be better at that I guess. His height and athleticism is pretty much top of the line though.

    You basically need height + athleticism + anticipation to make that save. And obviously 2/3rds of that equation are not teachable. That's the allure with Donnarumma. Some keepers are physically incapable of that save, I think.

    Napoli punted the Coppa, CL and EL only to drop points in 2 straight matches straight away.

    I honestly don't even mind Gattuso.

    I was a bigger fan of Sarri before he punted the CL and the Coppa Italia. The difference in chasing one title vs. chasing 3 titles cannot be overstated. Allegri is miles ahead of Sarri until Sarri shows he can go for all 3. Can you win games without your starters playing 100% of the minutes...

    That's another thing with handballs. They're supposed to be intentional. And if they're intentional then they're unsportsmanlike and should be cautioned. Every time they should be cautioned. But they are cautioned maybe 5% of the time and players, coaches, fans, don't care at all. Because it's...

    Handball is almost completely subjective. It is written that way purposely so attackers can't hunt for handballs by just smashing it against arms. And also it's impossible to determine someone's intention. At this point it is basically ruled by convention. Convention says you can't score with...

    It's easy to hate Juventus. Owned by Italians, ran by Italians and traditionally employs the best Italian players. Easily most progressive and intelligent Italian team. Showing a clear blueprint for how other Italian teams can raise their level. It's that Milan team owned by Chinese money...

    VAR should come down to the coaches challenging. That is the only way to eliminate corruption. You give the coaches a couple challenges and they decide when to do it. All they have to do is go to the 4th official standing right beside them and say challenge. If they don't do it within a...
