If I'm not wrong @Arquitescu has origins there.

Where Arq really comes from ? Lol

Origins from Brescia, Liverpool/Milan fan, the flag of Basque country, a romanian username, and i discuss with him of NHL which is followed mostly in Canada/northern US or just a big traveler like Rincon ?

Speaking of Atalanta

Their stadium is going to be renovated , piece for piece

For this reason, in last match against Udinese ( the last one on this stadium, next home match will be played in Reggio Emilia) , Atalanta fans brought home bricks of the Curva as a reminder

Possible just in Bergamo...

So does Pep. Used to do drugs there.

I remember that year ( he scored also against Inter, on penalty kick ) same year with Roberto Baggio n°10 of the Brescia . The golden period for the Rondinelle.

Donostia.

My mothers side is from Brescia a place dear to me as is Lombardia overall, but my fathers side is Basque and the one I am more in touch with as a result of growing up there.

I do travel often for mostly business as finishing off my studies in Galatin in NYC hence being in touch with American things all around to business in East Asia to South Asia.

Arquitescu is a modified version of 'Arquitecto' my original username but changed during a bet made with my Romanian friend here (Vlad) who said if Milan qualified during their 3rd place finish in 2012 (Mexes goal) I would have to change my name lasting for some years.

Name makes no sense but a bet is a bet.


That being said I could not be happier that Brescia has returned to Serie A. Its a win for Italian football as a whole.

Derby della Molle today

Everyone is injured for us still. Forced lineup basically

Szczesny; Spinazzola, Chiellini, Bonucci, Cancelo; Bernardeschi, Matuidi, Pjanic, Cuadrado; Ronaldo, Kean

no first team subs

Cancelo

How many mistakes can a defender make on defense.

The team playing a fantastic opening and he goes and assists Torino.

Juve doing their best job to keep us out of CL

You need no help with that, we are dominating Torino.

Its ok, even if Juve give us a lifeline, i have no faith in the team.

Love the derby, the intensity is beautiful.

The injury destroyed Cuadrado, having his worst game with Juve today.

lmao so after all the swagger, Milan could end up 8th?!

unbelievable stuff

uffffffffff

Look at the remaining schedule... it's easy for Milan. Torino vs Lazio last game will nullify a result for them. I think they finish 6th and save their season with the EL spot

And then it will be time to CELEBRATE !!!

Spoiler:

The last thing i need is a 6th placed team's fan lecturing me on the heights of lofty finishes and a perennial runner up/loser who's midfield can be outmatched by GL goons.

tight race for top scorer too

CR7 going from competing against Messi to Qualigoal

WATTBA

again reminder that Duvan had only 1 goal before December

Yep.

This is Zapata's peak. Gasperini is working miracles with the Atalanta players. His track record in making players overachieve is crazy. If that poisoned job at Inter hadn't happened his career could have exploded to the top.

Ilicic is playing consistently, Papu becomes a version of Del Piero, Zapata is competing with Ronaldo. De Roon, Freuler, Pasalic is somehow a relevant midfield.

If Zapata leaves Atalanta he will decline (as will all those players mentioned above).

Usually those smaller clubs who overperform for a short time period have 1 or 2 elite players in the making.
As examples Palermo, Udinese, Leicester, Lille on top of my mind, there must be other examples.

Atalanta has none, it's all about chemistry. Gasperini is a late bloomer as a coach, he deserves some attention from Juve-Milan-Inter-Roma imo.

He would be the perfect coach for Roma or Milan.

10 minutes to go and 0-0 Ucinese-Inter.

Udinese has been trying to survive for most of the match. This point would be huge for them, poor for Inter.

Goodbye Champions League.

Just noticed Milan can finish 8th ffs.
