Juve lost 3-1 to LA Galaxy last night. Their pre-season has been far from convincing so far.

QUOTE Udinese have paid tribute to Coach Francesco Guidolin, who today marks the 40th anniversary of his football debut. The tactician made his first appearance for Hellas Verona on August 4 1973. He became a Coach in 1986 and has had two spells at the Friuli in 1998-99 and from 2010 to the present. “From 1973 to today, from Verona to Udinese, Guidolin has had quite a journey,” wrote patron Gianpaolo Pozzo on the official club website. “Congratulations for this significant step in your extraordinary career. I wish you just as many more years of satisfaction in football. I am proud that Udinese represented an important part of your journey in this world. “In the years spent together, your contribution to our growth has been decisive. Let me also underline the respect and affection I feel for you go beyond your professional qualities. “The fact you repeatedly turned down the call of metropolitan clubs to stay with us makes our bond, the bond with the city and our land, much more special than a simple rapport between a Coach and his club. “The results we achieved together are our Scudetto. I hope they have the same value in your eyes and that one day when you decide to retire you’ll consider Udinese the ‘big club’ of your career. “With affection, Gianpaolo Pozzo.” Pretty cool. |

Friendlies are usually where coaches test out different players and formations. Inevitably you want to win, but that is not the essential reason why you play friendlies ... Agreed, they will be even stronger nextvseason once the new players 'click' |

QUOTE Santacroce joins Padova By Football Italia staff Parma have officially loaned defender Fabiano Santacroce to Serie B side Padova. The defender turns 27 later this month and Napoli sold him to Parma in July 2012 for €0.9m. Once an Italy international, Santacroce made only eight Serie A appearances and one Coppa Italia game last season. He is eager to get more regular playing time and can achieve that in Serie B with Padova. WTF happened?!? he was one of the top rated prospects 4-5 years ago...

Talk about wasting money on the wrong players... They could have signed a quality CB for those money.

I don't think Sakho is World Class or even that great but he's better than Astori, sure Astori is Serie A proven but he's not worth that much. Napoli have basically over-paid for every player they bought this summer |

The defending from Lazio is actually comical now, 3 goals in 5 minutes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Just found on wikipedia a rather interesting fact:
QUOTE For the first time in Serie A history, there will be 5 derbies among teams of the same city: Milan (Internazionale and Milan), Turin (Juventus and Torino), Rome (Lazio and Roma), Genoa (Genoa and Sampdoria) and Verona (Chievo and Hellas Verona).
