Only 11 goals across 10 matches this weekend. A record low.

A season is 38 games and no one keeps score at the end of it all about how many goals you scored.

The proposed Serie A game between AC Milan and Como in Perth on February 8th next year has been called off due to football sanctions and conditions imposed by the AFC towards Football Australia, and consequently Serie A and the Western Australia state government.

The AFC obviously are being difficult because a) they didn't get their cut or b) they weren't guranteed hospitality seats at the game.

I find it a very odd situation that the Supercoppa Italiana was held at the King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and the Lega Serie A was able to appoint their own Andrea Colombo as the referee as well as their own VAR's with no AFC intrusion.

If the AFC have not allowed the Lega Serie A to appoint the referee (as speculated )for a Serie A match, seems hypocritical and straight politics and using oversight to push an agenda from the AFC & keep these events in the middle eastern nations.

Or/also

Another possibility is the agenda has come from the FA (Football Australia) and the AFC are being used as the scapegoat from the FA wanting to get something out of this.

It takes this AC Milan v Como match being cancelled to highlight the politics of football in Australia.

As a Serie A fan it would be great to attend a match of a league I love in my country of birth but I am a traditionalist that believes the Serie A matches and all leagues for the matter when "playing for points, league matches" should only be held in the home country.

Interesting article on youth development in Italy...

My experience in pro Italian youth football (and everything that's wrong with it)

And it has everything to do with Italy's third consecutive elimination from the World Cup Qualifications

Fiorentina actually started to wake up. Now eight points clear of relegation. Still a disaster of a season for them but they were 20th for a while.
