Today we will discuss round 13 in Serie A - particularly Internazionale v Atalanta and Juventus v Palermo.. We will also review the table, talk news and gossip, and round up the Euro 2008 action and Champions League.

Welcome to another episode of Serie A Talk with Forza Futbol. No live show this week, as we are coming out of an international break, where we saw Italy beat Scotland 2-1 at Hampden Park. Midweek, Italy beat the Faroe Islands on Chiellini and Toni goals. Oh, and did I mention that England were knocked out of the Euros? So much for the Golden Generation.

 

Our usual procedure is to post one of our many informational interviews on the Italian game. This week however, we'll be delving into something a bit more topical: the recent violence in Serie A, with Steve Wilson, one of the production editors for our favorite magazines, Calcio Italia. So sit back and relax, pull up a chair and join us for an interview with Steve Wilson of Calcio Italia magazine.

Today we will attempt to discuss round 12 in Serie A - particularly Palermo v Napoli and Inter v Lazio- but as the tragic events unfolded in Arrezzo, Italy where a Lazio supporter was shot and killed, we stop and analyze the events from this past week and weigh in. More to come certainly.

 

Today we will discuss rounds 10 and 11 in Serie A - particularly Roma v Lazio and Inter v Genoa from midweek and Milan v Torino and Juve v Inter from the weekend. We will also review the table, talk news and gossip, and round up the Champions League action.

On today's episode of Serie A Talk, we have an interview with John Foot, author of Calcio: A History of Italian Football, published in the United States as Winning at All Costs, it is a comprehensive history of Italian football from its origins as an English import, the re-branding of it to create an imagined connection with Calcio Fiorentino (an ancient Italian foot game), and up to the minute that Calciopoli hit. Enjoy, 'cause this one's a long one.

 

Today we will discuss round 9 in Serie A - particularly Genoa v Fiorentina and Milan v Roma, review the table, talk news and gossip, round up the UEFA Cup action from last week.

 

 

Today we will discuss round 8 in Serie A - particularly Roma v Napoli and Juve v Genoa, review the table, talk news and gossip, round up the Internationals and Champions League! Remember, the interviews are up with Gabriele Marcotti, author of the Italian Job, and John Foot's, author of Calcio, will be up later this week.

Today on a special interview episode of Serie A Talk with Forza Futbol, we are joined by Gabriele Marcotti, co-host of The Game podcast for The Times online, co-author of the Italian Job with Gianluca Vialli and Paolo DiCanio's as well on his memoirs in football. He's a correspondent for Corriere dello Sport and La Stampa and also here in the States for Sports Illustrated and one of the most knowledgeable available on the Italian game.

Today we will discuss round 7 in Serie A - particularly Inter v Napoli, Lazio v Milan and Fiorentina v Juve, review the table - top and bottom, talk news and gossip and UEFA Cup.
