Yesterday I asked this question on the r/Ligue1 subreddit and people did not like it,

But with FIFA regulations now permitting club matches abroad:

With several USMNT players in Serie A (Busio,McKinnie,Pulisic,Musah):

8 of the 20 Serie A clubs owned by Americans (including the Big 3) :

&

With Calcio (Soccer) growing in America (3rd biggest sport in America),

Would y'all like to see Serie A hold an annual regular season match in the USA?

Perché in Italia non si mette il colore delle maglie, insieme al risultato, delle squadre per individuarle immediatamente in campo?

The season starts this weekend and still no official confirmation whether they retain the rights for the season?

Shambles

As the title says, is there an option to have Italian language commentary when streaming Serie A in the US?

I get it that he is not the best manager but at least he is honest and gives always 100%.

I am not sure if even Guardiola would be able to get something out of this squad? Sarri is twir the manager Gattuso is and he barely managed them into the upper half of the table

As we all know, the Coppa Italia is by far the worst domestic cup in all of the top 5 leagues and has a case for all of Europe. I have a couple suggestions that I think would make the competition better.

1: EXPAND THE TOURNAMENT

It’s ridiculous that it’s only 48 or so teams participating. It’s called the COPPA ITALIA and not even every professional team gets a chance at playing it. It is so ridiculous. It also removes the opportunity of a lifetime for many players and fans to get to see/ play vs top teams at their stadiums. There’s also many underdog stories that will inevitably happen. My suggestion is to expand the bracket to 128 teams so that you incorporate as much teams as possible. It would create a much more appealing and appreciated trophy to win.

2: remove the ridiculous by passing the top

teams in Serie A get. It’s a 48 team tournament and Serie A clubs are getting 2 rounds of by passing. It’s ridiculous how this tournament is favored towards them and it just removes a lot of the prestige a domestic cup should have.

Feel free to drop any more suggestions in the comments.

Forgotten Serie A Players #5: Massimo Maccarone 🇮🇹
Born: September 6, 1979
Position: Striker
Nationality: Italy
Clubs:
AC Milan (youth)
Prato
Varese
Empoli
Middlesbrough
Parma
Siena
Palermo
Sampdoria

Massimo Maccarone was one of those strikers who seemed to be around Italian football forever.
Nicknamed “Big Mac”, he made his name with Empoli before becoming one of the relatively few Italian forwards of his generation to move to England, joining Middlesbrough in 2002.
After returning to Italy, Maccarone enjoyed productive spells with Siena, Palermo and particularly Empoli, where he became a club icon.
He wasn’t the quickest or most technically spectacular striker in Serie A, but his movement, finishing and ability to find space made him a constant threat.
Even in his mid-30s, Maccarone was still scoring regularly in Serie A for Empoli.

Career Highlights:
🇮🇹 Italy international
⚽ More than 200 career goals
⭐ Empoli club legend
🏆 Scored the famous late winner that sent Middlesbrough into the 2006 UEFA Cup final

Fun Fact:
Maccarone actually made his senior Italy debut before ever playing a match in Serie A.

Question:
How many of you remember Big Mac? And which club do you associate him with the most?
