Italian Serie A 20/1/2008 - Juventus vs Sampdoria

This Italian Serie A game to bring you live commentary and play by play match will definitely bring back memories of back in the days when Sampdoria was one of the leading lights in the Italian league with Gianluca Vialli and Roberto Mancini and tonight they face Juventus at the Delle Api Stadium hoping to cause an upset by bringing Juventus to their knees. Unfortunately, Juventus has adapted to life back in the Italian Serie A after winning promotion from last season when they spent a year in the Italian Serie B due to corruption charges. They are also playing quite attacking flowing football and under the Tinkerman, will have their evergreen attacking force of Nedved, Del Piero and David Trezeguet. You can look forward to scores of goals and attacking football to be featured in this game.

Of course, Sampdoria are no longer the attractive team they used to be, and they have virtually no star players now. I cannot even name you any Sampdoria player of note, partly also due to the fact that Italian Serie A does not get much coverage nowadays. It is surprisingly even for a live commentary and radio broadcast of this Italian Serie A game but because it is Juventus and Sampdoria it can bring back memories of when these two teams fought a bitter game and saw much action and controversy. In fact Gianluca Vialli was to be transferred to Juventus in later years and has since become a legend of the Zebras.
