Give it a try some time! You might be really surprised.
I also didn't rate Serie A for the longest time (after Milan-Liverpool rivalry died down) but started following Lazio again around the time the pools started, which coincided with a mini revolution in Italian football, courtesy Roma, Lazio, Atalanta, Napoli -- who really play daring attacking football while Juventus stifled with Ronaldo, and the Milans were only just resuming their own renaissance.
They're compatible attack-wise to EPL, and if not for surprise package Girona, would trounce Spain in the league by sheer goal-scoring.
