[ITA] Serie A 2011/2012 (13 Viewers)

[ALC]

Withing a couple years there'll be no more DP, Totti, Nesta, Gatusso, Zambrotta, Pirlo, etc. That whole era will just be the past. Totti's one of the greatest of them, I'll always like him as a player.

True. And I hope he starts kicking up a fuss soon.

But yeah, can't say that there are many players who give calcio the romance they did. Guess it's just because we're getting old.

 

[Salvo]

It was an amazing era.

 

[ALC]

I don't think it's cuz we're getting old. Italian/Serie A players are nowhere near that good nowadays.

 

[Salvo]

I think overall the players from the 90's, not only Italian but all over the footballing world, trump the ones now.

 

[ALC]

Definitely can't say that about Spanish players

But yeah, Brazil and France have been disappointing me too.

 

[Kasaki]

The kids now-a-days lack that bad ass attitude that totti had, and also the class del piero/zidane have

Balotelli = Totti

Attitude wise

 

[ALC]

Yeah, says a lot considering Balo is one of the most talented in the world and Totti and Del Piero were still miles ahead of him.

I mean as a whole though all nations, fuck spain.

This.

Let's just say we are lucky enough to have witnessed such a great era of players.

Ahh.. So that's why Totti kicked Balotelli.

 

[CAPITANO]

Now we maybe know why Marrotta didn't go for Cassano

 

[Elvin]

fuck cassanus, I NEVER wanted him here.

Is it just me being optimistic (and a bit over the top) but is the most interesting Serie A season post Calciopoli? The league seems to be gaining a bit of momentum in terms of competitiveness, good games etc. Sure the quality is nowhere near what it was in the heyday, but could Serie A be at the beginning of becoming one of the best leagues around again?

Of course, and it has nothing to do with the fact that we are playing some nice football at the moment.

maybe

I wonder if anyone will be able to beat their all time goal scorer records at their clubs?
Also Roma has retired Aldair's #6 when he retired, wonder if they'll do the same for Totti since he has served even longer and is a bigger legend for them, no?

fantastic start to the season.

when was the last time (if ever) the big 3 are playing 4-3-3?

Nostalgia.

 

[Azzurri7]

90's was something else. The players were different, Yugoslavians, Holland, Italians, French, Brazilians, Argentinian etc were producing some of the finest players and enjoyable to watch.
