It’s remarkable how similar Serie A’s traditional power structure is to hurling.
Juventus would be Kilkenny.
AC Milan would be Cork.
Inter Milan would be Tipperary.
After that you’d probably have:
Clare as Roma
Limerick as Lazio
Wexford as Napoli
Offaly as Sampdoria
Galway as Verona
Waterford as Fiorentina
Dublin as Torino
Antrim as Sassuolo
Inter more or less seal the Scudetto with that win.
Hard to believe Juve didn’t get anything from Naples on Sunday night. Vlahohic should have had a hat-trick. Napoli’s first set of back to back victories since September, which goes to show how awful they have been. Gap to fourth still too much I think but it’s given them a bit of momentum and Calzona something to aim for even if the run-in isn’t kind.
