The Italian Serie A is not playing around today with a six-pack of games for Sunday. There is even an ESPN doubleheader nestled in the schedule which we will take a look at right now. Unfortunately, ESPN put the most important match on ESPN+.
SPAL at Genoa – 11:15 AM EST (ESPN).
Bologna at Parma – 1:30 PM EST (ESPN).
Hellas Verona at Fiorentina – 1:30 PM EST (ESPN+).
Lecce at Cagliari – 1:30 PM EST (ESPN+).
Sampdoria at Udinese – 1:30 PM EST (ESPN+).
AC Milan at Napoli – 3:45 PM EST (ESPN+).
AC Milan and Napoli are playing for sixth place. Whoever wins moves into that spot. That is the last place for Europa League qualifying for next season, so plenty is at stake in this match.
The other important matches in the standings consist of games that are impactful to the relegation zone. Last place SPAL is going up against 18th place Genoa. Genoa is one point behind Lecce, who is playing at Cagliari. If SPAL loses, then they will more than likely be relegated.

We need some NASCAR on this site.
I watched the race today, but I don’t have the urge to write about it. Maybe, you can write about it because the NASCAR All-Star race is on Wednesday, but I will be watching UFC.
If I am in the mood later I will put something together because I did watch yesterday.
AC Milan and Napoli played to a 2-2 draw. Four out of the six games were draws.

in all honestly i guessed completely i only knew one of these teams.
So I went Salami (Genoa) Bologna, park the bus, fleece, samp and ended AC Milan the only team I knew!
Not bad – you went three for three even with all of the teams parking the bus.
it was a good weekend. I know nothing about the Italian Soccer leagues. i suspect I will have to do some side reading!
