Halfway there: Serie A’s top sides keep pace at midway point
The boys ring in 2017 without host Marco “Kubani” D’Onofrio, who misses the show with a mean bout of the flu. Not even Napoli’s comeback win over Sampdoria could cure him. Anthony Lopopolo takes the reins for the time being and guides us through the first Serie A fixtures of the new year. The crew turns its attention to Gonzalo Higuain, who, after scoring a brace on the weekend against Bologna, is starting to resemble something closer to a €90-million signing. Daniel “Donato” Grossi also sees a trend, with Roma, Napoli, Lazio, Milan, and Inter all winning their games by single goals to maintain the status quo in the top half of the table. Later, the guys discuss the pros and cons of a move to China and pick some of their best moments from the year that was.
