Ok, just an update on how the standings look like after 3 match days. Considering that no team has won 3 matches, we are currently 4th with same number of points with Chievo and Brescia! Serie A Italy Fixtures & Results

Like most soccer fans, I am a soccer league polygamist. Because I live less than 20 minutes from an MLS club, I root for and follow Major League Soccer in the U.S. However, I am also a passionate Arsenal fan who lives and dies in every match they play throughout the year. And of course, I love Serie A best of all and have my favorite club, whose scarf I wore proudly this past Sunday.

Lazio: Avanti tutta! Di Danilo Bonanno La festa dopo il buon pareggio in casa col Milan è stata archiviata,i ragazzi di Reja adesso hanno messo nel mirino la rivelazione Chievo. Sar una trasferta dura ed insidiosa quella di Verona:infatti la squadra allenata da Pioli si sta rivelando un mix di concretezza e calcio spettacolo;sono reduci dalla strepitosa vittoria fuori casa col Napoli.

So the weekend that was originally supposed to be suspended because of the strike was played and it was a pretty good weekend overall. It's proving to be an even Serie A campaign so far, in fact it's the first time since the 1971/72 season that no team is unbeaten. Every team has lost at least once, and every team at least has one point.

It's all over the calcio news this morning, the Italian Footballer's Association has declared that they will be going on strike on the 5th Giornata of the season, which is scheduled to take place the weekend of September 26th (and has Roma-Inter on the schedule). The press conference was held today, and Massimo Oddo was the spokesperson for the Footballer's Association (WHY?

So, the polls are now closed. Let's see what everyone that voted thinks will occur this season in Serie A. All polls included, there were 2,066 votes cast (including the last poll which wasn't really relevant to Serie A at all). So, without further adieu, here's what the poll results show:

Who will win the 2010/2011 Scudetto?

Chievo (nella foto ANSA) capolista. Grazie al meritato successo conquistato per 3 a 1 al Ferraris contro il Genoa, nella seconda giornata di Serie A, la formazione di Stefano Pioli vola da sola in testa alla classifica con sei punti.

The second matchday of Serie A was exciting, that's pretty much the only way to describe it. It was full of upsets, goals, and action. At the top of the table you have Chievo in first place with six points, at the bottom you have Udinese last with zero points, and Roma second last with just one point.

Yes Allegri, just because you have Ibrahimovic, Pato, Ronaldinho, and Robinho doesn't mean it's going to be easy. Side note- Italian papers must love that Allegri's last name means happy. Oh how they must enjoy thinking about clever titles of Milan being "poco Allegri" (not happy) or "molto Allegri" (very happy).

If you loved checking out the Italy Offside every Tuesday last season just to see the Serie A Goals of the Week post and it's cool logo, fear not, because it's back! There were 38 goals scored this weekend in Serie A (which is pretty high for Serie A standards) and only 2 teams went scoreless: Milan and Fiorentina.

We all know who Luciano Moggi is. Many people love him, many people hate him, many people hate him but deep down they love him (I must say his goodbye interview back in 2006 when he cried on camera and said that everyone killed his soul is in my top 10 favorite calcio moments list). Say what you want about the face of Calciopoli, but when he speaks about football he usually knows what he's talking about.

La seconda giornata della Serie A porta in scena quello che la prima aveva fatto intuire: sembrano non esserci certezze in questo nuovo campionato, l'unica cosa certa è una sola: la capacit di sorprenderci e di spazzar via ogni nostra presunzione di dire come andr .

I know, Serie A is neither the best league in the world, nor the richest. But, as I always told you here on AFR, it certainly is the most difficult one to win. Why? Because nothing is certain in calcio. There are no weak teams you can underestimate and you never know when travelling to small pitches across the belpaese the result you will bring home.

Another great weekend of Serie A, with lots of interesting results. We're at the third day of the season, and guess who's on top? Cesena. Yes, Cesena. The little Romagnolo side is on top with Inter with 7 points, but is ahead because guess what- Cesena hasn't let in a single goal. 40 year old Francesco Antonioli has still yet to be beaten in 3 games.

There were only 24 goals scored this weekend in Serie A, which is much less than the 38 scored the previous weekend. Only one game was 0-0 (Bari-Cagliari), but most of the other games were low-scoring. The highest scoring games were Roma-Bologna (2-2) and Udinese-Juve (0-4) with 4 goals apiece.

Inter Milan thrashed Bari to go top of the Serie A table after four rounds while high-flying Cesena crashed. Brescia followed up their impressive weekend win over Chievo with another fine 2-1 win over Roma to climb to third. Sergio Floccari's equaliser prevented AC Milan from returning to winning ways as Lazio earned a deserved point in a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico.

The unfashionable Verona club humbled Napoli at San Paolo and are rolling back the years to their annus mirabilis.
Chievo's Flying Donkeys take to the skies again.

The first midweek round of Serie A has been played, which makes the programming schedule a little bit different, meaning here's another post from the "Weekend that was" series, except this one is "weekday that was". Serie A giants Brescia and Chievo are fulfilling their Scudetto ambitions and have a near perfect start with 9 points each, while minnows like Milan, Fiorentina, Roma, and Juventus are all struggling.

Just a quick post today. As you most probably know, we face Chievo Verona on Sunday, in our third away match of the season [one defeat vs Samp then a win vs. Fiorentina]. Chievo has started this season in an amazing form. Won 3 out of 4 matches and stand secon in the standing with [...]

I'm back! Sorry about last week. Turns out, once I've hit the whisky, it's a bit difficult to form a coherent sentence, so I'll be sticking with the strong beers while writing my weekly column.
As you know, this week is Los Angeles Galaxy v Red Bull New York week, with days of insults finally culminating in tonight's match, televised live on ESPN 2 at 10pm CT.

The serie A seasons fully in motion now as the games start to come thick and fast. A chaotic midweek round has left the table almost upside down, with the likes of Chievo Brescia and Catania in the Champions League places and Serie A contenders Roma Juventus Palermo and Fiorentina languishing at the bottom!
