Seven days ago, Inter were flying high off an extraordinary run of seven straight league wins, including victories against city rivals Milan and fourth place Lazio. The club had a midweek fixture in the Coppa Italia against Napoli, only to lose in controversial fashion once again to the Partenopei.

We are half way through the Serie A season; Juventus were crowned winter champions after a hard fought 2-0 away win at Atalanta. Roma hit five on Saturday evening at home against Cesena where Francesco Totti hit his 211th goal for the club. Inter Milan won their eighth straight game in all competitions after defeating Lazio at the San Siro 2-1.

We are now half way through the Serie A season and the main performance of the week 19 weekend was Roma's 5-1 win over Cesena on Saturday evening. The Luis Enrique project now seems to be taking shape. Later that night Juventus won away at Atalanta and with that win were crowned winter champions. Inter Milan now have won eight games in a row in all competitions after beating Lazio 2-1 in.

Another fantastic weekend in Serie A and it did not disappoint with some absolute cracking goals. Inter Milan got back to winning ways, AC Milan dropped points away at Bologna, Udinese were top for a day before Juventus grabbed a point against Roma. The Serie A Weekly Top Five Goals of the Week 5. Giampaolo Pazzini Inter vs.

Inter Milan took a toothless Fiorentina side apart on Saturday night to claim three valuable points that see them move up to 11th in Serie A. Missing the likes of Javier Zanetti, Dejan Stankovic, Diego Forlan and Wesley Sneijder through injury and suspension, Claudio Ranieri had to shuffle his pack. Maicon, Yuto Nagatomo and Lucio came into the backline while Philippe Coutinho replaced Ricky.

Minuto 88. O irreconhecível Inter de Milão está a perder em casa com a Udinese por uma bola a zero quando o árbitro aponta para a marca de castigo máximo. Chamado a converter, Giampaolo Pazzini escorrega e a bola sai completamente descontrolada para desespero do ponta-de-lança italiano que, em 9 jogos ainda só marcou um golo esta época.

Italy and Uruguay face off in just a few hours, and, providing the two sides don't resort to the type of defense necessary in a match termed a "friendly", this one promises a bit of excitement. Think about it: Mario Balotelli and Luis Suarez on the same pitch, facing off against each other. The possibilities for an epic showdown involving biting, kicking, tantrums and possibly a.

Not a bad way to open your international goalscoring account...

Let the record state that Italy eventually won 2-0. Giampaolo Pazzini adding the second.

Guest writer/Matthew Coccoluto With international break again upon us, a few European countries will be squaring off in the Euro 2012 playoff rounds. The rest will be using these upcoming friendlies to further prepare for the tournament in June. Cesar Prandelli will be without some key players as they face Poland on Friday and host Uruguay on Tuesday.

Mario Balotelli has been in scintillating form for leaders Manchester City in this season's Premier League, with 5 goals already to his name after just 7 appearances, and a goal each in the Champions League and the Carling Cup as well.

The 21 year old ‘s brace against Manchester United, which capped of a brilliant all-around performance from him, is a sign that he is capable of competing and dominating at the very highest level.

The Azzurri qualified to Euro 2012 without being tested as coach Cesare Prandelli attempted to build the national team around younger and talented players such as Mario Balotelli and Giuseppe Rossi. Various niggling injuries and a plethora of ridiculous antics performed by Balotelli meant that Prandelli was not able to rely heavily on the controversial Manchester City attacker.

After consecutive hard fought away victories in the Champions league that have left them topping the group, midweek European encounters have proved to be a welcome break from Internazionale's disastrous domestic campaign. A 2-1 defeat to bitter rivals Juventus last weekend means that the Serpenti are flirting dangerously with the relegation zone and a massive eleven points from the top of the.

Serie A Weekly welcomes new writer Matthew Coccoluto to our pages from week to week. Once again the Derby D'Italia proved to be a good one as Juventus came away from the San Siro with all three points. Prior to this week, Inter had managed to win only two games while losing an astonishing four. Juventus were coming off a mid-week win against Fiorentina, their second win in the last five games.

A memorable round for the Italian clubs who took seven points from a possible nine to place themselves in good positions for progression into the knock-out stages. Inter Milan have had a torrid start to their domestic season. Following a shock loss to Turkish minnows Trabzonspor in Champions League and the dismissal of Provincial manager Gian Piero Gasperini, the European Champions of 2010 earned.

The elusive invisible footballing sniper claimed yet another victim last when, during the Lille-Inter game, he pulled the trigger and fired a searing shot straight through Aurelien Chedjou's cheek a shot which was perfectly synced up with Giampaolo Pazzini's arm wafting into the French defender's face as the pair tussled next to the touchline microphones.

Inspired performances by Andrea Pirlo and Antonio Cassano lead Italy to a memorable 3-0 victory over an ordinary Northern Ireland side in Pescara. Qasa Alom reports AC Milan's Antonio Cassano was warned prior to the match that this would be his last chance in the national set-up after offensive comments to a journalist last week – and FantAntonio really didn't disappoint with a brilliant brace.

Inter versus Napoli was supposed to be a beautiful night of football. It was supposed to showcase two top sides in Serie A who had represented Italy proudly in Champions League midweek. It was supposed to be a battle between two teams potentially challenging for the Scudetto. It was supposed to be a beautiful night of football.

On Friday, Italy will travel to Belgrade to play Serbia in their penultimate Euro 2012 qualification match. The game comes just under a year since the events in Genoa on 12 October 2010 which saw Serbian hooligans forcing the game to be called off, and leading to harsh punishments being meted out against the Serbian National team.

New Inter Milan boss Claudio Ranieri got off to the best possible start in his new role as coach as his side battled to a 3-1 win over Bologna on Saturday night.

One point. Zero wins. Three matches. Welcome to the start of Inter's 2011-12 Serie A season. What should have been an easy win in celebration of Captain Javier Zanetti's record breaking night in the Nerazzurri shirt, turned into an embarrassing night at the hands of Serie A newcomers, Novara. Instead of commemorating the astounding 757 times ‘Pupi' has worn the black and blue to place him as.

So the new Serie A season is upon us once more. So far the typical clichés have proven to be incorrect. The age old stereotype of Italian defences being impenetrable was shattered with 37 goals being scored in the opening weekend. Much focus was placed upon Gian Piero Gasperini's favoured 3-4-3 system and how this would allow Internazionale to regain their Serie A crown, from bitter city rivals.

GOOD WEEK

Joe Le Taxi: Joey Cole has eschewed the opportunity to take advantage of his new colleague's language skillz... in favour of learning French himself. The Cockney boy, who has just begun a season long loan to Ligue 1 side Lille, told how his new team-mates speak great English, but he 'doesn't want to rely on them'.

As the Euro 2012 qualifying round winds down, the cream is rising to the top.

Defending champion Spain and Italy joined Germany as powerhouses to qualify for next summer's tournament finals after victories over Lichtenstein and Slovenia, respectively, on Tuesday.

David Villa and Alvaro Negredo each netted braces in Spain's 6-0 victory that cemented the nation's place atop Group I, while Giampaolo Pazzini's late goal gave Italy a 1-0 win and guaranteed first place atop Group C.

The good news is that Italy, with a 1-0 victory, have secured qualification to the European Championships in Poland and Ukraine next summer. The bad news it's not that bad is that the they haven't been living up to the hype recently. Italy have been compared with Barcelona an awful lot during Cesare Prandelli's tenure in charge of the Azzurri, but any viewers.

The Serie A season begins in a little over three weeks, yet the curtain raiser for Italy's top flight takes place this Saturday. While Inter have been a constant in the Supercoppa over the last six years, this year's matchup holds special significance.

Goals from Keith Andrews and Simon Cox in either half saw Ireland pull off a famous victory over Italy in Liege.
Andrews scored with a low effort into the corner of the goal on 36 minutes after an excellent back heel from the impressive Stephen Hunt.
Giovanni Trapattoni's 'Boys In Green' then had to withstand pressure from the former world Champions before substitute Cox tapped home a Hunt cross at the death to make sure of the win.
