Yes, that's right. This week will still officially be referred to as the "second" week of the schedule. Here are the games and kickoff times (Eastern Daylight) Saturday 9 am Bologna-Roma Inter-Torino 12 noon Como-Empoli 2:30 pm Modena-Milan Sunday 9 am Juventus-Atalanta Lazio-Chievo Udinese-Parma 12 noon Perugia-Reggina 2:30 pm Brescia-Piacenza Anybody know why all the wierd starting times?
it's complicated... initially,the clubs of serie A and B had agreed to fractionate the matches so that the tv rights were more appelaing to pay tvs who offer them live then came the agreement for highlights on public tv,but RAI requested that at least 6 matches were played at 3.00 pm Sunday every Sunday (when serie A stops,serie B will accomodate that request),and that's for the next 3 years but the scheduled for the first fixture had already been finalized and could not be changed due to organizational issue,hence the "wierd" starting times sabato: ore 15.00, Tele+: Inter - Torino ore 15.00, Stream: Bologna - Roma ore 18.00, Tele+: Como - Empoli ore 20.30, Stream: Modena - Milan domenica: ore 15.00, Tele+: Juventus - Atalanta ore 15.00, Stream: Lazio - Chievo ore 15.00, Stream: Udinese - Parma ore 18.00, Tele+: Perugia - Reggina ore 20.30, Stream: Brescia - Piacenza terza giornata: 21-22 settembre sabato: ore 18.00: Milan - Perugia ore 20.30: Empoli - Juventus domenica: ore 15.00: Atalanta - Bologna ore 15.00: Chievo - Brescia ore 15.00: Parma - Como ore 15.00: Piacenza - Udinese ore 15.00: Reggina - Inter ore 15.00: Torino - Lazio ore 20.30: Roma - Modena back to normality the weekend after

Early Saturday results Bologna 2 Roma 1 Inter 1 Torino 0 Como 0 Empoli 2 Milan leads Modena 1-0 at halftime.
Jees, Milan are looking good. So are Inter. Haha, Roma. I think one of the Milan clubs will win it. I think it'll be Inter, and Milan will probably get to the final against Real in the CL and win or lose...
Pick up this month's World Soccer if you can. It has a good Serie A preview and all the clubs' rosters. As well as a CL preview.
Early Sunday games: Juventus 3 Atalanta 0 (surprisingly easy) Lazio 2 Chievo 3 (surprise, period! - wanna edit that prediction thread about Chievo going down, soccerfan220? ) Udinese 1 Parma 1 (not a surprise)
Juventus 3 Atalanta 0 (surprisingly easy) And suprisingly boring! Well, maybe if you're not a Juve fan. SoccerAge
Yep. Lazio are going no where. Did you hear about Eriberto?lol, his real name is Luciano and he is 27. He registered under someone else or something. Lazio have good enough players to do something, but they probably won't. Maybe they'll be the next Fiorentina, but I won't go that low just yet.
Lazio need to give themselves a good shake down or there going to end up like Fiorentina. I pray they wont but if they carry on the way they are this season is going to be a very dificult one.
Yeah, looking good. I couldn't believe my eyes. Actually, I missed the game due to heavy rains here this morning. One of the drawbacks of Dish. Normally not this bad, but some trees have apparently grown and reduced our signal strength .... we're waiting until the leaves come off to verify that that's really the problem. As for Lazio, soccerfan220, you predicted them to finish in the top 6 in the same thread where you said Chievo was going down!!! Of course, my pick of Brescia and Atalanta for UEFA Cup berths isn't looking too great either. Say, what happened to the "power shift" from the Northern Cities to the South (well, Rome) that all the pundits were talking about a couple years back?
