If someone does beat Juve, who do you think it will be? Inter?

huh, didn't see anything posted about this but apparently certain outstanding players will have a lil gold badge on their shirts, like kouli for best defender

others include: Koulibaly joins Inter Milan goalkeeper Samir Handanovic, Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Sampdoria forward Fabio Quagliarella, Roma youngster Nicolo Zaniolo and Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo, who was named the league’s MVP, in the exclusive list.

That’s pretty cool but Ronald and Milinkovic Savic are terrible choices.

yeah tbh at first i saw ronaldo and thought he somehow got the striker/forward badge over quags and was like gently caress that

i take it savic never picked back up after expecting a move after the WC? i like him in FM at least :v

what's a good place to watch highlights of the other matches? ESPN+'s seem to be a bit meh, prefer more extended than purely just the goals and such.

i have a VPN too so region lock wouldn't be an issue, just want a place i can go to after the weekend and watch them all to keep up with stuff

Juve Napoli will be good unless they spend the whole match trying to figure each other out.

Been a while since I've paid attention but my immediate thoughts were Rome derby, atalanta v Torino, samp v Sassuolo and udinese v Parma could be good in terms of being derbies or teams closer in skill (based on last year's finishes at least)

Or are some of those likely to be a bit mediocre?

Gigi Galli posted:

The top of each girone gets automatically promoted, and there's a really convoluted playoff system (that the promoted squads also participate in) that determines an ordered list of possible additional candidates to get promoted. This is a possible list rather than a set group because a lot of the time the teams that qualify for promotion don't actually want to or aren't able to register with Serie C due to grounds issues or amount of money they have, etc.

Palermo surely will target finishing first in their girone, and should do given the resources and support they have.

Couldn’t help myself and looked at the score line/stats. It is insanely cool to be one point above relegation. When Genoa beat us next week we’ll be zero points from relegation!

FIGC announced a new anti-racism policy, where they reward clubs for identifying and banning racist supporters. Basically if they utilize technology and a heavier security presence to stop racist chanting and ban the offenders, they won't get punished with stadium bans or fines.

does this matter if they don't give out punishments?

are fines in italy also "voluntary" legally speaking?

Karl Sharks
Feb 20, 2008

The Immortal Science of Sharksism-Fininism

Gigi Galli posted:

Yes but Napoli has some very strict rules in their contracts that are likely to be different. De Laurentiis does not gently caress around.

I thought the fines were more of a labor rights issue which is why it's "voluntary" so wouldn't have guessed putting something that is illegal in a contract makes it legal and would expect it to if anything make the contract itself illegal.

But IANAL and I'm from the US so no idea that the labor laws are like in the EU.

I wasn’t trying to imply that anything involving this issue is illegal or legal, simply that Napoli has a very involved contract and legal department that is very much more strict than any other Italian team. This is a known thing that the league and the other teams don’t gently caress with.

Is that difference purely down to ADL?

The difference here is that that artist always paints monkeys. The league knew that he would paint a monkey. I don’t blame him at all; it’s literally what he does all the time and what he is known for. The league not doing their research (or more likely, thinking this was somehow fine) are the ones to blame.

i mean, it's def more on the FIGC than artist, but as a monkey focused artist would you take on a project to fight against racism against black players?

Lol I can’t believe this is real. Three days ago or whatever Sarri was out there saying that the club directors don’t make crazy decisions and they aren’t amateurs. 48 hours later they sack him and bring in the manager of the U23 side who has exactly 0 games managed.

I really can’t see this going well. Who knows, maybe he’ll be a managerial prodigy.

did ronaldo tell them "hey it worked with zidane, we won the CL"
