Re: Italian season 2015/16

This season is forecasted more balanced than the previous ones. In my opinion Juventus has weakened and Milan and Inter slightly strengthened, although not able to fight for the title they will be running for european placement surely. The bottom teams with Carpi and Frosinone has also weakened. Nap...

Not 100% sure Sampdoria has licence yet.
Genoa wont get it.

Toni and Icardi top scorers with 22 goals. TONI is 38 years old. Great achievement.
Totti today at the same age scored goal 300 with Roma shirt.

No seedings. Even matches within same country allowed (likely for Italian teams).

'Weaker' teams left,I would say Torino, Brugge, Dnipro. Maybe the only 3 that start the clash as not favourites. All the other teams seems very balanced to me.

But to the advantage of the Russian is that a draw in Germany will give them 100% EL qualification.

In Italy never happened. The only season in which Roma played in Serie B (1951-52), Lazio was in Serie A.

Surprise twist: Parma has not paid 300thousand euro of Tax and already 2 Courts has decided that it must be paid. On the 28th of May there will be the final appeal, if is found guilty again Torino will take the spot of Parma.

A further point to consider is that the top 8 teams avoid the August Coppa Italia and enter the competition from the quarter finals. So 7th and 8th places are still of moderate importance, as it will mean avoid a tricky match with rusty hinges from the summer. my bet on the last spot of EL goes to P...

This year Serie A level has decreased even more , if possible. Apart from Juventus - that shows its rage only during National Matches though- and Roma, all te other teams showing a lack of concentration that are affecting their performances. With maybe the exception of Fiorentina that has been incre...

In Italy the yellow cards rule works like this:
after the 4th yellow card,
after the 7th yellow card,
after the 9th yellow card
after the 11th yellow card
every yellow card thereafter.

Next weekend Napoli and Juventus will play against each other, so a further opportunity for Roma to increase their lead. Now it will be interesting to see their 'reaction', as in the last 3 matches they were less brilliant than before. The absence of Totti it feels with less imprevedibility and the ...

In Serie A apart the year mentioned by Arges Pitesti, to be remembered is the only occasion when a decider had to be played by two team who ended with same number of points, as in Italy do not count the goal difference and/or thehead to heads. in 1964 Bologna won the scudetto beating 2-0 Inter after...

Reisanibal, Totti will play 2 more years after this. Taz, i don't believe it will be as easy as you think. May i remind you that Man U in England in the 80s won the first 10 matches and then finished 4th. Juventus is like the bad guy in a thriller\ horror movie, you think is out of the game and he c...

Editing my previous posts:

Del Piero ended his career in Juventus scoring an overall total of 290 goals in all competitions with Juventus shirt.
Totti still active is at 283.
Inzaghi finished at 288.

while in Serie A, Piola is leader with 274, Totti is now overall second with 228.

I can safely assume that Balotelli is being 'booed' not for the colour of his skin, but for his low QI. The same reason why he needs to change team every couple of season at the max. anyway, three decisions in Serie A left, Milan or Fiorentina for the last Champions League spot (Milan needs a win ag...
