Amidst World Cup fever, another (long overdue) story of how meaningful football can be as I recall my first Napoli match back in May: https://t.co/RaA7kMzhla

The Serie A title is decided, but the final relegation spot is up for grabs and I’m pulling for Lecce. They’re well-suited to survive for a fifth straight year and here’s why that matters: https://t.co/1Pdu4WvMjS

Serie A may be down, but it is far from finished and I offer some necessary context to the footballing world's reactionary proclamations of a "finished" league last week:

Riccardo Orsolini recently became 1 of 3 Italians w/ 100+ G/A in Serie A since his Bologna debut in Feb. '18.
An homage to his stubborn, oft-overlooked consistency; how he reached this level & why Italy should count on him in their bid to return to the WC: https://t.co/wFdIcefFY6

Here’s my big breakdown of Serie B, the unhinged second tier of Italian football ⤵️

• Berardi back, Sassuolo flying
• Esposito show at Spezia
• Surprise package Pisa
• 11 sackings since start of szn + a whole lot more:

Roma haven't finished outside the top 8 in Serie A since 1997 and are currently in 15th just 2 points above the drop

Lecce and Como up next could either be the exact boost they need or create further panic

As MD13 of Serie A gets going, the ultra-thin margins at the top prompted me to look into how rare 2 points btwn 1st & 6th at this stage are

The answer: it's just the 2nd time in 3-pts-per-win-era this has happened. Fascinating trip thru football history: https://t.co/FNCShipRlL

Mikel Arteta claimed Arsenal dominated and Jamie Carragher said Inter "did the Italian job" in their 1-0 win at San Siro yesterday

The latter might be true, as is the fact that Inzaghi's plan worked to near perfection in a defensive masterclass

My take: https://t.co/HF5rAfFgiZ

[Kai @kai_henson]

In 2021, TMW labeled Lorenzo Lucca as “the new phenomenon that puts Italy at his feet.”

Three years on and, while overshadowed by the rapid rise of Mateo Retegui, Lucca has grown steadily in Udine and is closer than ever to those lofty claims.

slot never got over this and has bashed serie a at any opportunity since

that said it has nothing to do with serie a, atalanta and inter play some of the most intense football in europe

chiesa is just physically finished and hasn’t been good since 2021 💀

Wrote about Italian sides in Europe, where all eight of them stand so far this season and the significance of Serie A's improvement on European nights in recent years:

Traded Ten Hag ball for scoring in sunny Naples. What a life

PRONTI VIA, NAPOLI GIA AVANTI CON SCOTT MCTOMINAY, che inizio! 🔥🔥🔥

Lovely stat

Arsenal have failed to score in their last four Champions League away games in Italy:

◎ 1-0 vs Roma
◎ 4-0 vs Milan
◎ 2-0 vs Napoli
◉ 0-0 vs Atalanta

Mamma mia. 😫

Wrote about Torino and what Vanoli's cooking
- High-possession 3-5-2!
- Underrated Ilic, everybody loves Ricci
- Zapata/Adams front 2 = 👍

Milan aside (although they did fleetingly take the lead against Liverpool), the last two nights have been a good illustration of how competitive Serie A sides are against top Premier League counterparts. Topping UEFA co-efficient last year was no fluke

[Kai @kai_henson]

Always enjoy non-Serie A commentators’ astonishment at Inter’s rotations and use of center backs

[Kai @kai_henson]

I'm sure some italoamericani have a similar origin story, but in the last two years I've become engrossed with global football through heritage and the charming chaos of Serie A. Here's how it happened:
