It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's Attacking Football in Serie A??

Happy once again.

We were pleasantly surprised when watching AC Milan play Parma over the weekend. Not only did the Ronaldinho-Borriello linkage up-front produce two quality goals, but those moments weren't the stellar exceptions to the usual rule of dour, defensive Italian footie.

Usually, we steer clear of Serie A, because, frankly, it depresses us. Between the empty seats in the stands and the laconic pace of action on the pitch, we prefer to devote our precious weekend footie watching hours to La Liga and the EPL, relegating Serie A to highlight viewing (which, let's be honest, doesn't take up that much time anyways).

But this game was different.

Both Milan and Parma fielded quality sides that actually showed their quality. The play was often end-to-end and real chances were created by multiple, forward thinking players, including a rejuvinated Ronaldinho (and, you should know how happy we are about that).

We ended up being even more excited than Leonardo, with his new-found job security, at having witnessed an entertaining top-flight Italian match. In fact, we might actually consider trying it again next weekend...
