Vacation Time.

By: Francesco | August 2nd, 2009

Well, it’s that time of the summer again. I’m off to the old country tomorrow, so the blog will be inactive for a couple of weeks. However I will be back right before the start of the Serie A season so I’ll be able to maybe get a mega-preview up like last season and we’ll wrap up the important news that happened while I was gone. Here’s a few reminders so you don’t forget to watch these upcoming matches:

August 8th, Italian SuperCoppa in Beijing between Inter and Lazio.

August 11th, the new cycle of Italy U-21’s play a friendly vs. Russia. We get to see what the new Italy U-21 side looks like (call-ups will be made August 6th).

August 12th, the Nazionale led by Marcello Lippi is back in action with a friendly vs. Switzerland. Following August friendly tradition, this will most probably be a bad loss, the media will complain for a couple of days, and then everyone will forget about it.

After that, it’s time to get excited for Serie A 2009/2010! (and there will also be some Coppa Italia action and there are a host of other preseason friendlies going on but you can follow those on the individual club blogs)
