Lomba essentially listed things a good coach does. “Bad calls” is just an excuse for failure, similar to gender/race discrimination Americans use when they fail at things. Spalletti, Ventura, Pirandelli, Donadoni,Zeman are just a few names who should just quit coaching. I don’t know why teams continuously hire these bums.

I would have thought that would be a priority for any coach taking over a relatively big club in Italy...

I ain't putting all blame for current difficulties on Spalletti right now. It is clear there was also a big element of luck and bad calls during the first 4 matches + some players seem to be struggling mentally for the time being. However Spalletti just doesn't seem to have a clue on how to counter small clubs who just simply park the bus

Bilan suck the dick of horses. Hard to see them beating any decent teams this year.

Has Spags been sacked yet? Perhaps he's lining up Minchio's spot?

The money play here is simple. The federations make the money. Does anybody here trust the FIGC put money back into the system? I don’t! Serie A will continually invest in foreign talent while Italians suffer. The sport, I believe, is lost in the youth. They’re not as hungry as the Croatians & Bosnians. They’re too busy being social media superstars.

The format for this is very confusing. Why experiment if they are meaningful games? It’s hard to get into this and UEFA is simply being greedy at this point. They’re going to fall into the Thurs Night NFL trap where the product is too saturated.

Presumably when Romagnoli makes his next move it will emerge that all along he's been a France fan after all.

RB from spal, LB from genoa, and bench warmer striker from torino...

2 shit coaches in a row. Mancini has a chip on his shoulder, small dick syndrome, trying to prove to everybody he's a tactical genius. Another shit lineup.

Is awful*. Are these matches competitive or is it like a friendly tournament? What is more awful than this team is the format of this tournament. Pregame announcers talking a lot about The Waterboy and totti.

This Italy team isn’t awful... absolutely awful. They’re going to be awful for the next decade unless things change from the top, down.

Iam tum religio pauidos terrebat agrestis / dira loci, iam tum siluam saxumque tremebant. "pauidos [...] agrestis" may need a little tweaking, but not much else.

We are back in Norwich now, stefano, so may have missed our chance to save the lurching ship of humanity. The kids did get an improbable amount of enjoyment out of the Capitoline Museums (and the Campidoglio more generally), so perhaps there was something in that? What does Evander say to Aeneas? In fact it's the two lines immediately before Evander's words that I have in mind, I guess: iam tum religio pavidos terrebat agrestis / dira loci, iam tum silvam saxumque tremebant. / 'hoc nemus, hunc' inquit 'frondoso vertice collem / (quis deus incertum est) habitat deus; Arcades ipsum / credunt se vidisse Iovem, cum saepe nigrantem / aegida concuteret dextra nimbosque cieret.

tommaso, please offer prayer at aedes iovis optimi maximi capitolini. a few well placed lightning strikes would serve humanity quite well these days.

Sigh. I miss Rome. Can you teach on the beach? btw did you see the British Library exhibit on Captain Cook's voyages? A lot of kiwi content from modern people on the results of the voyages (for good and bad)

On the other hand, we are shortly going to go here (or a mile or so hence): https://i.pinimg.com/originals/65/67/22 ... 9f09c8.jpg Our tickets are one-way and the cats will be coming with us.

I had seen that story, Lupa. It's true we are unlikely to go there. At the moment, we are here (or a few hundred metres hence): https://lonelyplanetimages.imgix.net/ma ... =20&w=1200

Juventus' corruption is the source of all evil

I’m sure Juventus corruption is the cause of Roma’s piss poor start.

I guess maro won't be going here http://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/cat ... -1.4731090

edf needs to figure out his starting line-up asap.

pretty dull game overall, but that was to be expected.

Any would be too much, of course, but since I've not yet managed even that, I shall have to demur.

Sometimes it's more exciting than another ddr back pass
