Fox Soccer Channel announced that it acquired exclusive rights to broadcast Italian Serie A games until 2010.
I don't want to make too bold of a statement, but this is basically the worst idea ever. The World Cup is awesome. The English Premier League is awesome. Major League Soccer is… a way to watch Americans play soccer. But Serie A is shit. Complete and utter shit. It's greasy people falling down for 90 minutes at a time. It's got more flops than the New York Jets first-round draft history. Fox Soccer would be better off televising AYSO games and marathons of Ladybugs and Kicking & Screaming. Or test patterns.
The only thing Italy's good for is hot women (like Francesca Ceci up there — NSFW pic of her here) and doric columns. Don't try to tell me pasta. They stole that from the Chinese.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Nothing wrong with that, my friends.
You forgot to mention Monica Belluci and pizza.
Weed, just noticed you got an account on Deadspin. Welcome to the end of any chance you’ll be productive at work.
How DOES one get an account on Deadspin?
Oh yeah, Serie A IS more revolting than the hairy back.
Ohhhh…NOT safe for work. See, it looks like a normal pen with a woman in a bathing costume, then you turn it upside down…
Now the boys can eat again.
Other things Italy’s good for: Failed governments, westerns, wine and a subplot in Breaking Away
That is some outstanding side boob.
Aren’t Doric columns Greek?
Nice work peg, Piedmont wines and the subplot of Breaking Away are absolutely the best things about Italy. I was actually just watching the movie a few days ago.
Also not smart=Fox news channel
But you forget. Serie A has Kaka?
Let’s not forget that between scandals and crowd violence, the game in Italy is really teetering on the edge of collapse right now.
umm, perhaps one of the best side boobs ever? She clearly wants me….
italy – prosciutto. best meat ever.
and if fox paid $20 and some blow for series A it is a good deal.
