I hate Italian football. Plain and simple. It embodies everything that people tend to despise about the game in general. Diving, ball-hogging, slow pace of play, poor athleticism, you name it, Italian soccer provides it. When JoeyB asked me to be the first guest writer for The Flag is Up, he said he wanted me to write about “my boys” at AC Milan. The only reason I’ve ever seen AC as “my boys” is that their international talent make them the only club in Serie A that comes close to providing an exciting game. International playmakers such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robinho, Kevin Prince Boateng, and formerly, the legend Ronaldinho sometimes can even make you forget that your watching one of the worst football leagues Europe has to offer.
Maybe I’m being a little harsh on the Italians. After all, the league does have some positive features. For example, Serie A fans are some of the most passionate in the world, albeit containing many douchebags (see figure 1.1). Also, Italy breeds some of the best footballing talent in the world, as seen in their international glory (2010 WC notwithstanding). And powerhouse clubs such as AC and Inter (Satan’s favorite club) do provide an outlet for exciting international talent.
So, love it or hate it, make sure you keep on reading The Flag is Up for the latest news on the EPL, Serie A (ew), or any other topic pertaining to football in general. Tell your friends to come check us out as well.
Until next time,
