Watching 4 games this weekend, I don't like relives, so just 4 lives and in that case that's maximum I can see.

I'm waiting for day when Napoli isn't on the same time as Inter, I'm so eager to see Lavezzi in their shirt.

Anyway, 26 minutes more!

What a ****ing ogal from Rosinaldo! Genius lob/chip! (I don't make much difference between them that much...) I'd say it's a lob, but definately great one to be first goal of the season!

First half, Lazio has been slightly better but Sereni has been good in goal for Torino, with mistakes coming in minor situations. Del Nero had the best chance besides Rosina's fabulous chip from outside of the area with Ballotta of the line. Del Nero took the ball down and first time shot was saved. Then also Rocchi was denied I think. After that Torino got into it and soon scored a goal and then Lazio started pressing.

Lazio plays with 3 strikers more or less.

Pandev was booked for diving, but other than that he has been nice today, making lot of runs.

Toro has hada serious penalty claim for handball.

But overall Lazio looks better, they've had two injuries aswell... young new stars Kolarov and Diakite. De Silvestri is playing much to my delight. Torino has also had Grella injuried.

This is opener worth watching... Lazio is eating Torino alive now. Pandev is fabulous... 2:1 in space of few minutes, Pandev and Rocchi. Both very nice goals, espescially Pandev one which came from great team move.

Thank god I decided to watch it.

Tommaso Vailatti! Torino debutant, nice young propsect, their own academy product. Fine header low into the corner after he was free in the area.... also should've had another goal, but don't know why referee disallowed a free header in middle of the area from corner.

Lazio had fallen asleep on their lead.

Game over, fabulous opener 2:2... Lazio by display should've won, but it was great match. But don't know why Torino had one goal annuled when it was 2:1... nothing seemed to be wrong with Vailattis header.

Comotto got sent off late in it for kicking the ball away and get his second yellow card.

Great result for Toro, ok for Lazio, great game for neutrals.

Lob is when the ball is in the air during the kick. This one was a nice chip;)

shaz, I don't agree that losing Bojinov and Reginaldo is huge hit for them. Bojinov is shit player whose only rated high because he scored 10 goals for ultra-attacking Lecce. Reginaldo was just average.

I know many people are not big fans of Bojinov, but of all the three forwards, that worked so well at Lecce, I really thought he was the best one, better than Vucunic. Plus the guy is only 21. Fiorentina could have done much better had, they kept him in the squad. And Reginaldo is a great super sub. I remember last year, when we played Fiorentina in the first game of the season, Reginaldo kept on making a mockery of our defence.



Besides, Di Natale left Udinese yesterday after contract dispute.
.
No he didn't. He apologised and said sorry for Udinese fans.

I guess I read it wrong with Di Natale. Thank god.

But Vucinic, Bjelanovic, Chevantov and Bojinov played for Lecce under Zeman. And it's tough to say whose the best one of four. I'd say either Vucinic or Chevantov. But none of them are outstanding talents. If you have 50 chances per season then it's easy to score 10 goals.

You think Bojinov was 5th choice in Serie B Juventus by misunderstanding, or Prandelli told him to buzz off because he was too good for Fiorentina? He is average talent, there are thousands of talents like him. He was in right place at the right time to get his 15 minutes of fame.

By the way, Gobbi leading 1:0 and I missed large part of the first half and didn't see Trezegay goal either.

Considering the fact they're playing at home and have spent over 60 million euros they look quite weak.

Well.. to be honoust, considering that they've spend 60 millions this summer it's tough for them to look like a team from Week 1. They seem to dominate, but don't have the creative mind upfront to create chances.

Tristan in, Serie A debut for him. Will be interesting.

Livorno should of had a penalty for shirtpulling. Clear penalty. Refs apparently saw nothing...

Absolutely stupid PK for Juve.Has anything changed!? Iaquinta fell on his ass and scored himself aswell, Amelia almost got to it.

If that was penalty then meanwhile there should've been another one aswell for Livorno for that shirt pulling.
