Week 1, Or: It’s About Damn Time

You may not have heard, but Serie A kicks off at long last this weekend. (And there was much rejoicing.)

Juve, Napoli and Genoa are all making their triumphant returns to the league, Inter are trying to cope without Materazzi against a team they were unable to beat last season, Milan are playing without supporters or many strikers and, if we're lucky, Pocket Rockets (thank you or that mental imagine, Chris) Fabrizio Miccoli and Ludovic Giuly will face off in Rome on Sunday afternoon, in what is likely to be the best match of the weekend.
