Not trying to criticise Serie A but I've never been able to find any interest in that league, doesn't seem to have anywhere near the edge the Premiership and La Liga have.

 

Same. I'll watch Premiership, Championship, La Liga, SPL, Bundesliga & even Ligue 1...stick an Italian match on and I have no interest whatsoever.

Soccer fans in Italy will have to obtain a special supporters card from their club to see their team play away from home next year.

 

"From January 1, soccer enthusiasts will only be able to follow their team away from home if they have the supporters card," Interior Minister Roberto Maroni told a news conference.

 

The government believes the initiative will make it easier to police matches and track down trouble makers, as part of their bid to combat hooliganism in Italian soccer.

 

Authorities already employ a range of measures to prevent trouble, including bans on away fans at high-risk games.

 

Not a bad idea.

 

Italian fans are generally cunts.

Siena v AC Milan is on ESPN tonight if anyone is interested, 19:45 kick off. I think ESPN is channel 529 on virgin media, I'm not sure what it is on sky. It's also free for everyone on virgin at the moment.

Currently:

 

Siena 1 - 2 Milan

 

Pato getting both of the goals for Milan. Ronaldinho the provider for both.

 

Milan look pretty happy to pass it about for the next half an hour.

 

Ronaldinho is having a good game. From a corner he's just chipped the ball up for himself on the volley and then hit a bicycle kick which the keeper just tipped over. Taking the piss.

 

Pirlo and Thiago Silva are both playing well, too.

 

Bit of a patchy performance overall, though. Borriello in particular has been gash.

Bari doing a really good job of breaking Inter down as they get into the final third. Just sitting the midfield in front of the back four and not allowing Inter anywhere near the penalty area.

 

Inter may need a touch of magic to get through. Where is Ibrahimovic when you need him?  :pow:

Yeah, but Vieira is in his late 40s. He has an excuse.

 

Muntari is just poor.

 

All of Inter's play is straight down the middle. If Muntari had an ounce of intelligence he'd be pulling out wide on to the wing.

 

The two occasions Inter have pulled the play out wide they've managed to get crosses into the box unchallenged.
