Dont get me wrong, the quality isnt anywhere near what it was like in the 90s, but damn its entertaining and unpredictable.
90s :heart:

Watched some Zidane highlights of his time at Juve earlier... oh my Lord was that man gifted. Skill, technique, intelligence... he was such a refined footballer, a once in a lifetime talent, a gift to the world.

Did anyone see Hamsik's miss after they were down 1-0? Worse than Eto'o miss against us last season.

Watching some of the games this round, you really got to say Serie A has jumped in quality this season. You rarely see sloppy amateur play like you do even in the top leagues around Europe. Even the smallest teams will punish you for being sloppy in Serie A. Europe watch out!
Your right about that but Roma and Palermo really didn't do much justice in losing to crap teams in Europe

Considering we'll likely be seeing teams like Inter, Lazio, Udinese, Napoli, Roma in the 2 EL spots moving forward, I think they'll take it more serious, as most of them actually have the resources and squads to handle extra games. You look at Lazio and Udinese this season, they basically got to the knockouts by playing B teams.

Palermo had Stefano Pioli as their manager at the time too, and he was sacked shortly after. Fuck Palermo anyway, they never take Europe seriously.

Had Roma been a bit more settled like they are now, they would have easily qualified for the EL group stages.

Yeah, Roma had a bunch of new players, new coach, they were struggling bad in pre-season too. I think they added a few new players after those games as well.

Well hopefully all these excuses prove correct. After all France and Portugal are closer to Italy in the Coefficient then Italy catching Germany. One positive is Italy has more teams remaining in both tournaments then all three of these leagues
