Hello my friends.  It’s another bad morning!  How can I say good morning when Italian football is  just having a bad time in the Champions League?   Come on, not only AS Roma were humiliated by Bayern Munich with 7-1, but Juventus also losing against Olympiacos 1-0!  Qualification in danger for Roma and Juventus to qualify to the next round.   Does it mean Serie A is that bad compared to La Liga, Bundesliga????

The headline giving me hope to see a brighter day is the one about the 4 Serie A teams playing today in Europa League.: Inter vs Saint Etienne,  Torino vs HJK, Young Boys vs Napoli, and Paok vs Fiorentina.  So, are we in for Coffee or tea?  I need a strong double espresso.

I hope you have a good day and let’s hope to see our Serie A teams doing better in Europa League today.  I am ready with my chips, and you?
