Season starts a week after EPL -- it feels like we have to wait longer and longer now for season starts (in my mind it's always July) so maybe it's just my hold on calendar start but apparently this is actually an early start for Italy. Which explains why the new schedule isn't out yet.

The schedule is set to be released next week, 5th July.

Indeed, mid-August start dates for Serie A are uncommon, partly due to the weather, since no one wants to play ball in temps of 30°C or more.

With the EURO next year, i suppose everyone will have to start a few weeks earlier.


Just checking in here to see how we're all doing for new season. I'll probably need to check in La Liga too, to sort of drum up support and remind people to get some money ready for new pools, yeah?

Can someone please tag me when you start paying fees for the La Liga pool? I'll be joining the pool this year, ...honestly can't wait to get my ass kicked and finish bottom three. Grin

It can't be Napoli again, too soon to talk about Juve's relegation and Lazio wild card?

agree, a heartbreaker for Bari and their fans, but seeing Ranieri crying after overtime scoring and securing Serie A was also a great feat
he joined when Cagliari was in a position to fight against relegation from Serie B, consolidated the team, reached play-off, and overturned two better positioned teams, so both times Cagliari needed a win in two duels

hopefully he will stay next season, and show some skills in Serie A as well

Knowing that a draw is all you need is a double-edged sword.

Cagliari was indeed the better team tonight, even if they didn't have that many scoring chances aside from a few crosses.

I'm not sure if Ranieri would have substituted in Pavoletti if it hadn't started pouring 5 minutes before the end. The boy he replaced was Cagliari's best/most dangerous player....Luvumbo.

In any case, a heartbreaker for Bari and their fans....about 60k at San Nicola, incredible atmosphere as you would expect.

Don't agree with this,

Cagliari also disagrees, but accepted it and scored in overtime to secure a win in Bari, and they are back to Serie A next season

Ranieri made great tactics and Cagliari was much better tonight, while Bari tried to save the draw

Verona will probably also stay, it is close to end, and they are leading against Spezia

good compensation for Auxerre going down, now I again have favorite team in Serie A

That is a strange rule for me. They are playing playoffs over two legs but if there is no winner then Bari goes up automatically. Extra time and penalties would be expected but it is what it is.

yeah, it is strange, but I can find it to be good, if you had been better throughout season, then you have to have some advantage in play-off as well
since there is no third match on home pitch (as in basketball for example), you got draw as your win, maybe it is fair (although I don't like due to Cagliari being forced to win this duel)
Don't agree with this, if you have play offs then there shouldn't be a big advantage for one team. If you want to value success during season simply don't have play offs and give the spot to Bari automatically.

nevertheless, match ended 1:1, two VAR decided penalties for Bari, second in 90+4 minute, and Bari needs a draw at home to be in Serie A next season
maybe Ranieri can pull some better tactics for re-match, Bari was better in second half and never-mind penalties, deserved to get a draw

play-off for Serie A spot between Cagliari and Bari, and first match half-time, Cagliari is up 1:0
early lead, Bari missed penalty, hopefully Cagliari can take a lead to Bari

if there is similar situation to SF, Cagliari needs to win this duel, since aggregate draw will put Bari as a winner

Serie A has more problems then this so who cares  Grin Thinking about Juve and their penalty points mostly.

The Serie A pool was really my worst performing pool this season. Especially in the first half of the league I couldn't predict Napoli to show this good performance. Congratulations to all prize winners. I hope I can also finish in the prize area next season.
Thank you very much! Payment received!

Once again, congratulations to all the winners and hope to see you all next year!

Just to echo @icopress's statement.

I've received the prize and it's worth the while for me, due to the nature of the competition and Saint-loup dominant personality in almost pools, being able edge him to the first position in the final moment was the highlight for me.


It's as though Saint-loup took the every pool as a fulltime job this season, he took it very personally this season  Cheesy

Yeah, Serie A fires up my ass. The only pool out of 4 in which I participated and did not get into the prizes. And I'm not nervous because of the prizes - I remember very well how in the previous season Serie A also infuriated me with its randomness. Probably the only league where it almost never happens that the leader group wins in sync - there will always be a couple of teams (and sometimes 5-6 lol) that will lose points and ruin your multibet.

Congratulations to everyone who was able to get into the prizes despite the fact that this is a very difficult league to predict! And thanks to all the organizers!  Smiley

@morvillz7z there was about 16.5 mBTC left for you in the end. Hope you don't mind I always select one place for tx fees begging of the season and that is always the one I boost most from initial rewards which are shown in percentages. Seems like most fair solution.

congrats to all winners

last round was what expected it to be, with Milan and Roma both winning their matches, and sent Spezia and Verona to play-off

Cagliari managed to have a goalless draw against Parma, and reached final with Bari, for a spot in Serie A, will be interesting to see who will get on top, and secure that spot
onwards to Cagliari being back in Serie A

Slava Ukraini!


Top 5 as it stands.

Harkorede came back strong in the final round to clinch first place. Congrats on the win! In the three Serie A editions of this pool, we've got three different winners.

It was great fun playing with you all! Many thanks to Trofo for making this pool happen, as well as to our generous sponsor, Sportsbet.io
Congratulations to all winners - well deserved! And thanks Trofo and Sportsbet for another great season. For me personally it wasn't good. IIRC, I was 1st or 2nd before World Cup break, but after it I started to go down constantly. On final round I managed to go up by 2 place to 6th, but I was very far from 5th place.

Spezia and Verona will get their playoff after all, late drama in Rome.

Bologna with that late winner could get to play in Europe next season, that's of course if Fiorentina wins the Confs. League and Juventus gets a one-year ban from UEFA.  Grin

Crazy stuff buddy!

I'm not gonna lie, I didn't expect such a come back, and to be very honest, I had the slightest changes that resulted to me claiming the first position, I changed Napoli to from 3-0, to 2-0 and Roma from 2-0 to 2-1, and that extra 3 points is all that end counted towards my victory, and funny enough I've watched Serie A match the least compared to La Liga and Bundesliga this season.

It's been one hell of a ride with you all genius sport freaks  Wink
