Re: Serie A Thread - 2010/11 Season
I agree with what Dominic says, most voters for "our" racist/fascist party are not racist or fascist either...i'm pretty sure of that. There must be a difference in culture between Italy and the low lands.
well if both u and dominic think that, then it's certainly true. like i said, that was just an assumption of mine. i just couldn't bring myself to believe that a non racist could be so unbelievably stupid to vote for thoose kinda fools. i guess there's a lot i still don't understand about human nature
..but then again, if what u say is correct (and i have no reason to say it's not), then that actually backs up my point even more.
follow me for a sec. let's assume that just a very small percentage of le pen's voters or Pvv's voters are actually intolerant, racist people.... let's say a 10%. i think u'll agree with me 10% is a very small percentage... that would mean that only 1 Pvv voter out of 10 is an actual racist.
well the 10% of the pvv's 17% electoral result... is 1.7%.... that would still be almost 10 times higher than what forza nuova (italian extreme right party) got in the last elections they partecipated (like i said, last time they got a 0.2%).
and the 10% of le pen's voters (8%) would still be 4 times higher than the italian 100% (wich, like i said is 0.2).

as for yesterday's match... i'm even more disappointed than i was after inter-samp..... that's not the napoli i know. i hope that's coz of the fact they lined up the same starting 11 wich played against liverpool a few days ago..... but then again even that would be a lame excuse as napoli certainly didn't really gave their best (at all) against liverpool.
besides tiredness could explain a poor performance from the athletic point of view..... wich was not the case. napoli played well, from an athletic point ov view..... it was their football... so dull, so colourless, so flat.
credit to milan. they played a good match and deserved to win.... and the san paolo stadium is not an easy place to get 3 points from..... but i expected so much more from napoli..... exactly as i expected so much more from samp (u're right rfu, samp could do so much better than that)....
oh well, i just hope it's all coz of the europa league matches..... altough i'm not sure that's the case.
as for cavani, yeah, he's been kinda wasteful yesterday.... but not that much.... i mean it's not like he missed some sitters (like he used to in palermo)... he missed a few chances, but none of em were really easy chances. besides, we can't really expect him to score every week, especially since his team wasn't really playing well yesterday.
abou said:
How much did Napoli pay for him? He's never been very clinical whenever I've seen him play, although his hard-working nature sort of makes up for it.
exactly. now at napoli he's not being asked to press the ball carrier as much as he had to in palermo; therefore he's much more fresh and cool when he's in front of the opposite gk.
i think he's done a very good job in palermo. yeah he didn't score as much as he is right now.... but scoring was not his main assignement when he was a rosanero (in palermo goals come from pretty much everyone... from the cbs, from the sidebacks, from the midfielders, so we didn't really need him to score).
as for his pricetag, it's 16 millions, spread over a 4 years payment plan. it's a lot of money, sure.... probably even more than he's actually worth.... but let's not forget that cavani is still 23. he's been constantly improving in the last 3 years, and there's no reason to believe he's not gonna keep improving.
there's just one thing i don't understand... how the hell lavezzi managed to score that goal
it was crazy... i just can't figure out the dynamic of the whole action
A goal on his debut, against Napoli. Kaka got an assist in his debut, against Ancona.
