Boring, boring Serie A, or so the mantra goes from the Anglophiles and Latinosnobs. Calcio is dull, slow, and low-scoring according to most, but apparently most are not familiar with this year's Inter Milan and Roma sides. If this match doesn't feature at least one goal by both sides, I'll eat my hat. Both defended poorly in their first Serie A games and their lineups don't suggest that things are about to change. Inter Milan is going with an aggressive 3-4-3/3-4-1-2, while Roma is playing an attacking 4-3-3 with traditional midfielders Rodrigo Taddei and Diego Perrotta at fullbacks. Who needs defense? Here are the lineups.
