    You are right Ryan. It is too early to predict the outcome of the Serie A 2007-2008 with less than 5 games. There are still 37 more games to go and many factors, such as injuries, that might affect even the best teams.

    Let's hope we have a competitive Serie A Tim with great Italian football -- or -- if you prefer Italian soccer.

    Hope to see Hernan Crespo playing more for Inter... and naturally, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
