Calcio Saga 19/20

Special goal from Dusan Vlahovic for Fiorentina. And he had Skriniar all over him as well.

Was probably expecting a daisy cutter instead of what almost looks like a cross in to the net. One of the rare times he guessed wrong on the ball's flight pattern.

Handanovic is not first guilty here. Godin and Skriniar (perhaps he Is conditionated because he gets banned for next match if he receives a yellow card and we have half team as injured ... but hell.. Who cares in that case) more than him

For third time in a row  Fiorentina get a tie against Inter on 90' at home

Sliding door sadly.
It shows we 'll not fight for that title.

It simply is foolish to expect Inter to win the title. Not only they are mentally weak in the moments that truly matter from their loss to Juve that was in their hands based on the tide of the match, choking a lead to Barca, Dortmund and then a team like Fiorentina who are at their worst.


Lack of depth and injuries can also be the excuse as Conte has hinted heavily that Inter are running on fumes and now that Juventus have figured out their new look trident I cannot see Conte dragging this team to a consecutive series of enough victories to usurp what will be a Juve, due for another string of good form.

I think there's still a lot of football left to be played. Inter aren't done yet and I don't think this will be the last time we see Juve cough up the lead at the top.

The only reason because I can dream to fight for title is Conte
Because he Is a incredible manager and his teams overperform. Inter are doing too
Because of course we aren't a team worthy of 39 points in 45 , same as Juve, as now.
Basically we should have same table as Roma.

Depth is no excuse, It Is true, especially if your contenders have the largest depth in Europe

Fragil mentality , tendency to bottle It ..It Is true too.
It happens when you have not players used to win trophies, or if you have them they are quite finished (Godin Is not as Vidic, but he Is going close) ..

Two ties in a row would be acceptable after 4 great months, what really really hurts Is Inter would have deserved definitely 6 points against Roma and fiorentina

Lukaku has led us before but he 's missed now

Next match without brozovic Lautaro (both banned so add them to the list of injuries) is going to be complicated

Sarri was such a stud when he was younger.

Now he looks like your local flourist

More than any other Juve player, Gonzalo Higuain has provided the most assists this season (7).

The Argentine striker also has 6 Goals to his name..

Higuain has been directly involved in 13 Goals in 19 games this season.

Italy

seriously, someone shat into their fucking heads?

This can"t be real wtf.

At this point, the whole country should just hire a PR firm to clean up this mess.

To answer your inevitable questions:
a) Yes, it's real.
b) The artist uses monkeys in all his paintings. They hired him specifically for this project.
c) Yes, it's really real.
d) @SerieA_EN see nothing wrong with monkeys in an anti-racism message.
e) Yes, honestly, it's real.

lmao this is just grandiose

how much more .. ahem.. tone deaf... can a PR campaign be

This feels like a Dave Chappelle skit wtf.

Cagliari doing it again, 1-0 to Lazio. Very nice goal by Someone.

I mean, maybe it's genius

Now if supporters make monkey chants, the clubs and the league can say they were putting out anti-racist messages in support of the campaign

..Im speechless.

FFS. Someone fire the people that came up with this. Calamity.

Yep.

Every single person that had anything to do with this need to lose their jobs.

then, hire a bunch of chimpanzees to run the league's PR department, can't possibly do a dumber job

There is zero logic behind this can't even say "at least you tried" at this point

It's wild.....the more they try to address racism, the more racist they are.

I think the core to this problem is whoever makes these decisions is far too arrogant to consult anyone of color before posting this stuff. They just assume that this will be fine and there will be no problems.

The bigger problem is that most Italians don't seem to think racism is that big of a deal. Even among the non-racist majority, there are more people who genuinely believe the rest of the world is overreacting than those who are ashamed/shocked by what happens in their stadiums.

Yup, the arrogance of such a state of thought is hard for me to comprehend. What's really disheartening is that I originally thought this was just boomers too old to change their worldview, but this arrogance remains even with younger generations who have been influenced by those boomers.

Somebody post that Cristiano header goal because I kid you not that was the best header goal of all time and above the one against United in the CL.

His vertical leap and command of when he is in the air is inhuman. He is not ageing.

Saw it. That leap is just ridiculous.

Cristiano Ronaldo literally suspended in the air to get this goal. Watch the Slo-mo pic.twitter.com/QJYqVvqtcp

Loved the Jordan celebration for the goal too. He knew he got up there.

Unbelievable header

Incredible header and still not sure if it was the best goal of the game. Dybala's volley was incredible as well.
