    Weekend highlights here - the clash of the top 2, and also Atalanta's surprise 3-0 away win at Roma




    Then, this is a comedown... the leaders Juventus lose at Sassuolo:


    Goals, Sassuolo: Eilish McSorley 17', Martina Tomaselli 80' / Juventus: Cristiana Girelli 55' - see Juve's match report

    This probably won't upset Juve's title hopes, but now they must win their last 2 games against the low-table teams Tavagnacco and Hellas Verona.

    Midway through matchday 20, it's

    Juve 50pts, Milan 48, Fiorentina 46, Roma 35, Sassuolo 29, Atalanta 29

    Yeah but no more room for error for Juve as Fiorentina still has a game in hand vs. Fiorentina Ssdari. Would they win - it's 49 points (one point behind Juve) comming into last 2 games (vs. last Orobica and 4th Roma)

    Why does Sassuolo have so many security guards on that side of the field? They're children too... :oops:

    Fiorentina got the job done in the Florence derby - an early 2-2 scoreline, but Alia Guagni and Ilaria Mauro added two more goals for the Viola, and Guagni was rated Calcio's player of the match.

    Highlights: Fiorentina 4 - 2 Florentia - Sky TV

    All highlights 20° giornata (matchday 20), Serie A - Youtube
    [​IMG]


    End of matchday 20:
    Juve 50pts, Fiorentina 49, Milan 48, Roma 35, Atalanta 30, Sassuolo 29

    Two games to go:

    On 13/14 April and Sat 20 April
    Juventus play at home v Tavagnacco (8th) and away to Hellas Verona (10th)
    Fiorentina are away at Bergamo (12th/last) and home v Roma (4th)
    Milan are away at Atalanta (5th) and home v Chievo Verona (9th)

    The Verona clubs are both near the relegation zone - Pink Bari and Bergamo are currently there in 11th and 12th place. There's no mention of relegation play-offs, different from 2018. Inter Milan are confirmed as Serie B winners.

    The Coppa Italia semi-finals (with the top four clubs) are on Wed 17 April in the afternoon. Then the cup final is on Sunday 28 April.

    About Juve's record crowd v Fiorentina

    Record-breaking wrongness...! :oops: There was a Women's World Cup final in the same city, Turin, 49 years earlier:

    Coppa del Mondo (Women) 1970
    Final [Stadio Communale, Torino; att: 40,000; ref: Cosentina (Italy)]
    15.07.70 Denmark 2-0 Italy
    [Hansen 18, Sescikova 68]

    [Denmark: Thermansen, J.Nielsen, B.Nielsen, Lindh, Schaefer, Evers, Mascikova, E.Hansen, Irene Christensen, Inge Christensen, Sescikova. Trainer : Pedersen.
    Italy: Seghetti, Canepa, Cerutti, Mondo, Pinardi, Bonanni, Molino, Avon, Mella (46'Rampon), Colla, Schiavo. Trainer : Cavicchi.]

    [​IMG]
    Stadio Comunale, 1960s (PD)

    Short video of the final is here from AP archive. The media will always choose a "record" headline and pretend women's football never had big crowds before, even if it isn't true.

    Meanwhile in the penultimate game, Milan and Fiorentina won 2-0, Hellas Verona beat Chievo Verona 1-0 to ensure Hellas' survival, and Pink Bari managed to score a penalty at Roma and earned a 1-1 draw. Today Bari (15pts) could stay up, but they must beat Atalanta, while Chievo (17pts) are away at Milan.

    Today's the decider! Still tight at the top:
    Juve 53pts, Fiorentina 52, Milan 51

    The End: Matchday 22
    Today 10:30 GMT / 12:30 CET

    Eni Aluko seals the 3-0 win, and Juve win Serie A again. She's good, eh?

    Fiorentina (2nd) will play in the Champions League in 2019/20: they beat Roma 2-1.

    Pink Bari are relegated in 11th - they seemed to put up a gallant fight, but Bari lost 3-2 at home to Atalanta. Chievo Verona (10th) earned their survival by beating Milan away! Final score is 2-1.

    "Importantissimo"? Does that mean good or bad? :oops:

    "Importantissimo" means "very important", normally in a positive way, but I should know where exactly it is to answer you properly: I can't find the word in the video you link.

    What I can hear, at the end of the video is "È tutto qui... ed è tantissimo!", meaning: "And it's all for today... but it's lot!". :coffee:

    It's Cernoia, with r+n, not with m, although I am aware that for the eye it reads very similar. ;)

    I know :coffee: means, cue intelligent discussion, but when you said "a tough nut", all I could think of was "the BRAZIL NUT!" .. which isn't very relevant.

    [​IMG] [​IMG] Brazil v Italy seems to be the key game in the group - Australia and Jamaica are likely to be 1st and 4th. If it all follows form, Italy and Brazil will finally meet in matchday 3 on level points, and everything to play for.

    ...and if that happens, they should all stare at their opponents like this
    [​IMG]

    @blissett @Giulia, as Jamaica are the Reggae Girlz, what style of Italian music would be the best name for Italy's national teams?

    (A night at) the Opera girls? :D

    I know, I know, Opera feels so outdated, but it the end isn't it what Italy is still known for in the world, for what concerns music (the same way Jamaica is known for reggae)? Doesn't a full "La Scala" look like a sold-out stadium? :p

    By the way, @blissett, as a man of letters, you might have some insights – why is one of the top VAR refs called Massimiliano Errati? Surely that name is asking for trouble.

    2019/20, it's back!

    Remember, it's everyone's duty to learn at least 3 words of Italian this edizione (season), it's gonna be the best edizione

    (@blissett, "Dopo" is one of those false friend words, right? :confused:)

    Brazilian forward Andressa Alves has arrived at Roma from Barça, while Fiorentina kept their captain Alia Guagni, who turned down a move to the Spanish league.

    Unusually, there were no relegations this year – lucky for Orobica and Pink Bari – because Atalanta Mozzanica and Chievo Verona are out of the league for economic reasons, both dropped by the men's club. The only Verona team this year is Chievo's neighbour Hellas Verona.

    [​IMG] [​IMG] New in the league are Inter Milan and Empoli.

    Nothing shady involved: "dopo" just means "then" (as an adverb), or "after" (as a proposition, like in this case). :giggle:
