JUVE COLLAPSE! INTER COMEBACK, Como Beats Parma & Roma's Perfect Start Continues! Serie A Recap

Project 90 Soccer: we are live. Welcome to Project 90, the soccer podcast, all about the beautiful game. My name is Antonio, and I'm here with as always Marco Antonio Munoz, getting ready for bed. My man works. early in the mornings, but he is committed to the Project Ninety podcast. Marco, how you doing besides being fucking exhaustedly tired, bro?

Marco: Look, once I hop on here and and we start talking soccer, football and here with our Project Nighty folks, I forget about being tired, man. I'm tuned in right now. Ready to get it going.

Project 90 Soccer: Ready to get it going. I love to hear it. Today we got a recap all about the SETI some big games that happened, big results this weekend that happened. And this upcoming weekend, there's a big, big game that's very important for the SETIA standings. Inter versus Roma, two teams that have stayed undefeated so far in the SETI. But first thing we need to get to, Marco, we have a we have a major upset here on our hands. Juventus. Okay, I don't know what's going on with Juventus, man. It's been a bit of a downhill for them. Losing 3-2 to Sasuolo, bro. 3-2. Sebastiano Esposito, the brother of Pio Esposito,

Marco: Yeah.

Project 90 Soccer: scoring a goal for Sosuolo, opening it up, but coming back, man, the late winner from Sosuolo to just destroy Juve. And, you know, looking at that last goal, man, you gotta ask, what is Juve doing? And fun fact before I send this over to you. This is the first time in Juventus history history, bro, that they have not had an Italian in the starting lineup. Take it. What do you think about that?

Marco: surprise me i know you and i have talked about that with the other squads in the serie checking out all these squadras and a lot of these giocatores man they're not italianos so maybe that's the reason why juventus didn't win this game they need some italian blood on the starting lineup so i'm

Project 90 Soccer: Mm-hmm.

Marco: not sure man but i'm gonna blame we're not put the entire blame but i there's a lot of laps in the defense

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: A lot of open spots where they're I always say this, but like they were caught ball watching, so they were slow to react on two of those goals. and let's just say the third one, right? And they just kept coming from the side and they were able to to to make it happen. So when I was watching that game, the first half, I thought was like a nip and tuck game. I was like game. I was like, all right, who's gonna score first? You want Swal Swolo to score, you want to root for the underdog, but something in me just kept saying, like, nah, Juve. Right now they're just having a tough time finding the back of the net, but sooner or later they're gonna they're gonna bag two, three goals. And they bat

Project 90 Soccer: Mm-hmm.

Marco: they did back two goals, but it wasn't enough because who ended up bagging the two, three goals? So Solo.

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: it looked like it was a very good second half. It was I score one, you score one, I score one, you score one. And ultimately, man, Saul Solo was just was just able to get it done. What a beautiful goal. And huge,

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: huge win for them. And depending on how their season goes. It may be the win of the season for them. So definitely rooting for them and a lot to think about with with with the Juventus, a lot of a lot to think about on the on the manager squad, on the do they have the right players? what what what is the sporting director talking about? Well, how are those conversations looking like? Because you cannot be losing against these teams,

Project 90 Soccer: Mm-hmm.

Marco: especially this early in the Serie A. So

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah. No it's not good, bro. Luciano Spaletti's a coach, obviously, an Italian himself. And it's not looking too good for him, man, 'cause Juventus have a certain standard. We know that the the owners in particular, they're winners, bro. They want to win. And seeing the game play out the way it did, man, they were two one down, ninety first minute, Zagrova ties it for Juve. And it looks like they're about to get a point, right? Which is still already not good enough for Juve. But then the ninety fourth minute, bro, Sasuolo just dagger in the heart, bro. Three to two win. They walk out of there with three points, virtually literally like the final kick of the game almost.

Marco: And if you wanna win it, that's how you wanna win it, man.

Project 90 Soccer: That's epic. It's I mean, for Soswolo, especially, bro, that's an epic victory that's gonna go down in history for them, dude. So, you know, for Juve, it's not looking good. It seems like something that's kind of been carrying on season after season. They're not looking like the Juvev of the the past that we've seen. But, you know, fifty five percent possession, eighteen shots, eight on I mean, they had the possession, they had shots. They're just not able to really get in there and just win these games. credit to Soswolo, though. You know, 10 shots, six on target, getting three goals out of it, and fighting to the end, getting the dub, man. So yeah, man, Juvet not looking like a favorite this season for the set of, but they fall to eighth place, bro, with only seven points after four games. So not looking good for Juve moving forward. Hopefully, maybe we'll see if they can turn it around. But next game here on the list, Marco, Lazio versus Milan. And as we saw here, Lazio a little bit of a shaky start to set ya, but then they've been turning around with Gatuzzo. fun fact, Mussolini making his debut, right? I think that was a little shock to everyone, but he's on Lazio, but they went up two zero, man, against Milan. And then what happens right at halftime as they're two zero down, Ruben Amaram really takes does what he does, what he needs to do as a manager, I should say, makes Three substitutions, bro, that completely changes the game. Okay.

Marco: Yep.

Project 90 Soccer: He brought on Christian Pulisic, who we have not been seeing, we've been talking about a lot. Adrian Rabio, who you've mentioned you think is one of the strongest players from Elon this season, which I agree with. And then Diego Morea came on, who eventually gets two goals and ties the game. But

Marco: You miss Musa you missed Musa didn't come out on the on the second half? Or he came a little later? I thought he did.

Project 90 Soccer: I I think he might have came on not right at half when he made the three substitutes like he might have came on at the same time, to be honest. But these three in particular are important because Pulisic gets an assist and Rabio gets an assist from Morea, who also came on. So both goals to tie the game came from the substitutes that Amerim made. And what you've alluded to in the past as well is how he really hasn't settled into an actual starting lineup yet, week after week. Right. He's consistently changing things. How do you think these three subs and the outcome of this game though changes the starting lineup going forward? Do you think we're gonna see Pulisic in there and Rabio starting every game? Maybe this Morea as well coming in? What do you think?

Marco: unless it was a tactical decision on why he threw the lineup out that he did, or it was like a we he wanted to put a a man on on on another player. I'm not entirely

Project 90 Soccer: Mm-hmm.

Marco: sure, but like we keep mentioning it. He keeps switching his his his number eleven and he may switch it again next week. I can't one hundred percent say that Pulisic is gonna start. Yes,

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: he looked he looked strong. yes that the him, Yunos Musa, Rabiotes. And Moreya were the were the fresh legs that they needed.

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: But also how much of that is Latio, right? How much of that is Gatuso? Gatuso for some reason just doesn't know how to hold on to a Libna and just take the three points.

Project 90 Soccer: Mm. Yeah.

Marco: Because man, these guys, when they came in, they're all over the place. And I'm not

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: entirely sure why Yunus Musa did not start the game. I get it. Well Yeah, I get it after the first couple games. I

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah. Especially after last week, right? The last game. Yeah.

Marco: mean look, I get it. Luka Modric, you want to throw that guy out there, but he didn't show too much. I I'm thinking he's gonna just be what he should be one of those guys that just sits the bench and he's gonna come in the last 30, 35 minutes and really help you secure that game or or get you that that that goal that you need to

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: sit to especially when you're playing away. Loftus chick, my man, you just need to sit the bench. I don't

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: think he should be starting these games. this wasn't the game for you.

Project 90 Soccer: Mm-hmm.

Marco: And up and Estupignan. Bro,

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: I'm surprised he did not leave with the other guys that that that left because that first goal, it was his fault. And I

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: keep saying it, he was ball watching and then he just reacts late and there's Lacho's first goal. and even on on on the second goal, he tried to kick it out and it just didn't make it outside of the eighteen or barely made it outside of the eighteen. So I think Estupignan is another guy that I should She should go to the bench and and Ruben should really assess what he has going on and understand that. How do you say his name? More More? More? More

Project 90 Soccer: More, yeah.

Marco: yeah, yeah, yeah. Should should be starting.

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: yeah, he's not gonna get two goals all the time, not gonna get not even a goal, but you still have that burst of energy. You still have this guy who's gonna be yeah, there's gonna be a little bit of liking in the defense, but You know what he's what what's what what he's capable of. You know what he's gonna be doing up top and to create these opportunities or outside of the eighteen, waiting for any rebounds to come back. So, Ruben Amarin, you need to start Yuniz Musa, you need to start

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: Morea and Pulisic, if you say he's still not matched fit, give it another game. But this guy is a guy that should be starting every game. And just have these

Project 90 Soccer: Mm-hmm.

Marco: young bloods out there, man, that are gonna give you solid seventy-five to eighty minutes, and then during garbage time. bring bring

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: everybody else in so you can get some fresh legs. So shout out for them for able to make it happen. coaches, sometimes don't get adjustments right, Ruben Aram got it right this time. And

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: for Lazio and Gatuso, I don't know, you guys played the best half you can get and ultimately it just wasn't enough.

Project 90 Soccer: Wasn't enough, bro. And I think it's clear that Pulisic is whether he's fit or not, he's a key player for Milan. He makes a difference. Musa as well. And I have to say loft his cheek, man, i it's just they're not they're Milan is not the best they could be with him on the field. It's just as simple as that, right? He's not he's not that guy. Maybe you know, he's probably he's a good player, we've seen it in the past, but with this Milan team with what they have going on, it just doesn't seem like it's working. And Amory, you know, probably didn't make the best Choices in terms of a starting lineup, but it's safe to say that he made the right subs. They came on. They got out of there with a point. They had 66% possession. So, I mean, they did well, right? It's like it was good for them to get a tie with stats like that. But at the end of the day, Amram needs to needs to really solidify starting lineup, I think, so we can see some consistency from Milan. Because right now it's kind of, you know, you're you're waiting to see who you're gonna see on the weekend. You don't even know who's gonna be on the field.

Marco: And this is a game number two, Antho. I told

Project 90 Soccer: Uh-huh.

Marco: you Ramos is wasn't gonna score for two to three games. I just didn't see it. I just didn't

Project 90 Soccer: You're right, dude. Yeah.

Marco: see it happening. He's not a he's not a go-getter, he's not a guy that's just gonna he's not an air Erlen Holland. For sure he's not that's gonna go and try to find open spaces to to to score. He needs people to distribute the ball, he needs somebody to to to shoot, and he's ready out there outside of the 18. At times plays like a number nine, definitely not a false number nine, because sometimes he's looking for the ball in the in the middle of the field. But they just weren't giving him or serving him the balls that he needed. So he's going on a streak now on a drought as two games. Hopefully the next game he gets it, but I just don't see it right now with the way Milan's playing and the

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: tactical decisions that Ruben Amoron is making. Again, I'm not entirely sure why he this already. Early or late in the in the season, how you want to call it, how he doesn't have his starting eleven solidified. I just don't understand

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: that.

Project 90 Soccer: I mean f four games in, five games in now, it's like you should you should have an idea of, you know, who your consistent star at least nine or ten of the players, you know what I mean? But he's making like some serious changes. But I agree with Ramos. You're gonna have to wait to see if he comes out of his shell. If they can get that guy firing on all cylinders and get the team behind him, Milan could be like really dangerous, I think.

Marco: He's definitely not gonna give you twenty goals this season, tell you that much. Twelve, twelve

Project 90 Soccer: It doesn't look like it. Doesn't look like it. So yeah.

Marco: thirteen.

Project 90 Soccer: If he hits twelve thirteen, I'd say that's probably a good season for him, honestly. SettiA is notoriously hard for strikers to score. That's what they all say. So we're gonna

Marco: True, true, sure.

Project 90 Soccer: see what happens there. Milan's now sitting in sixth place with eight points. So we'll see how things go for them moving forward. This next game though, Como versus Parma, bro. Another convincing win coming after their historic first Champions League game, getting the dub in the Champions League. Now coming up against Parma, dominating this game, two to zero. They got a Parma got a late goal in there, 92nd minute, David Romero. But overall, throughout this game, Como looked like they were in control, gonna win the game. They ended up getting three more points, sitting in third place now in the set I still. But the star of the show still and has been Nico Pause, bro. Nico Paas

Marco: Legal Pass one hundred percent.

Project 90 Soccer: created the opening goal. I mean, this guy, he's he's truly a playmaker, and he You know, as as good of a team that Como has, I think Nico Paws is that one player that if he wasn't there, it would look a lot different for Como. And I think they're legitimately building the team around him right now. But I s I' mentioned previous episodes as well as the depth of Como and how they have different people scoring goals all the time. And this game again, bro, Kaiki, Yacobo Ramon, two goals, two goal scorers that two different people again. So You know, Como has like a champagne problem right now as opposed to like Milan, for instance, trying to figure it out. Like whoever Como's putting on the field, it's like they're they're getting results with all of them. They're getting goals, they're getting assists. So I think Como has a good thing going for them. But I think by this point, or I should ask you, by this point in the season, sitting in third, coming off that Champions League win, still haven't played maybe a Juve or a a you know, an intra Milan, you can say, but do you think Como's the real deal? Or do you think it's still just hype?

Marco: Even if they beat Juve, I wouldn't call it a real deal because let's say Juve continues to play in the same way that they're playing. I'm gonna

Project 90 Soccer: Uh-huh.

Marco: say, yeah, if they beat like if they beat Inter and also the way they beat him, right? If it's an another nip and tech game where the possession is damn near split down the middle and they're just not a lot of open po open pockets to to create opportunities. If it's one of those games and they just capitalize or whoever capitalizes on that one opportunity, then I still won't be able to say that, hey, Como this this is their year. It

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: needs to be a convincing whoop ass. And not

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: only for them, it needs to be a convincing two, three whoopasses throughout the season. and

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: right now, it's looking like it can happen. But it's a long year, Anton. This is

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: Como, their first time back in the the Serie A, their first time ever in champions. They're gonna have their ebbs and flows, they're gonna have their peaks and valleys, people can get injured playing multiple tournaments. So

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: I will say again, still too early for me. I can't say it. I ask me this question again when it gets close to the January transfer window, and then we we can start talking about that. But as of right now, I still can't say it. But I what

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: I will say is Nico Paz, if you ever leave, because you are gonna leave, Como, although although they are the Cinderella of the city, It is a small club. And if you keep performing the way you keep performing, you know, go back to La Lega, my guy, because

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: I don't see you in the Premier League.

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah, I agree, dude. I agree with Como and all that because yes, it's impressive what they're doing. No one's saying it's not. But to play now, let's say, for instance, the Romas, the inter Milans who are are in first place right now tied, to go and play them and get a win, but not just a win, but like a convincing, like dominant win where you're competing and you're clearly the better team that should have won that day against a good opposition, then you can really start to say, Okay, Como is bringing that shit this year. You know what I mean? They're not just another team that's having these you know, against Parma for this is against Parma. They had sixty four percent possession, twenty-eight shots, bro. So I mean they were they were just on their ass the whole game. Now if they can go against inter Milan or Roma and do that and get out with a win, it's gonna change the whole narrative that the is already surrounding Como as a team. Nico Paws dude, I mean Real Madrid, they had the chance to get him back. They didn't let him go they didn't want him back. They didn't get him back. Como has him now, but I think it's inevitable that he's such a young player as well. That it's it's bound to happen where Real Madrid's probably gonna come in again anyways and just drop a bag on him. Because if he keeps

Marco: And

Project 90 Soccer: this up, dude, it's it's inevitable that a bigger club's gonna come knocking.

Marco: And like I said, although Como they want they want to be up top, right? It's like I said, it's a small club. So if somebody's gonna come in for with a hundred and fifty million for Nico Pause, of course they're gonna take that. That just means more money for them to invest back into into players. And although you won't have one magician and eco pause, you may get yourself two or three solid, solid players that can go right away into the starting lineup. But yeah, man, I'm very excited for them. Hopefully, There isn't any injuries in the near future. So

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: I'm definitely excited for them in the CDA and the Champions League.

Project 90 Soccer: I agree. Same, dude. Same for me. Moving on though here. Torino versus Roma, dude. Two to zero for Rome. Rome are still perfect in the Settia. Probably the most impressive start by any team in the SETI. Danielle Mullen is fucking on fire. This guy is on fire from the start. And then PC League getting a late goal for the the young Italian player. He made his debut for the national team not that long ago. Was part of the qualifying campaign. He's one of the future standouts to look at. But Malin, bro, unreal. This guy's scoring every single game. Paolo Dybala and him are starting to you're starting to see this sort of chemistry come together where you know there's always that duo. I remember in the past for Roma, it was like Toti and Cassano or Montella and Toti, and and now starting to feel like Dybala and Malin because the way that they're handling the Cetiai right now with five games, five wins, getting clean sheets, shutouts. It's impressive. And they're sitting on top of SettiA due to goal differential. So they're technically currently in first place. Now, we were just asking about Como if you think they're legit. And we still have, you know, yet to see it perhaps. But Roma, dude, I think Roma is legit. I think what they're doing is is is legitimately they're gonna be in the in the top discussion, top three discussion of the set I this year till the very end. And if they can hold this, it'd be a be a huge moment for Rome considering they haven't won the set I since like two thousand and four. So, I mean, what are you putting what are you putting down here for Roma's start to the season? How do you feel about that?

Marco: Plain and simple, it's what you said. They're the real deal. They're showing the real deal. They have a base that they've been working with for the past few years. I mean, bro, if you they won the conference league not too long ago. So let's not let's not forget about that. So I think this has been brewing for us, Mercedes, and all over the world for them to be fighting for that one and two spots. And

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: anytime you have Roma fighting for the Scudetto, one and two, it's a different type of league, man. Everyone's tuned in. Because it's it's nostalgic. But to your point

Project 90 Soccer: It is.

Marco: to your point, it's been so long. So although everyone's been rooting for Como and the new guys on the block, if Roma's up top in the one and twos, hey, it's gonna be a close close second to who the rest of the series gonna be rooting for, Como or Roma?

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah, no, I agree, man. Roma's in in their own way, shape, and form, they've been chasing this title for a long time again, right? It's been a long it's been over twenty years. And one thing that stands out for Roma for me is the amount of goals that they're scoring. I mean, they're scoring a lot of goals and they're keeping clean sheets. So defensively they're sound, attacking wise they're sound. So it's gonna be really interesting to see you know, around the holidays when half the season goes by to see where they're at, if they can keep this form up. But as of right now, dude, Roma is looking really good. And before yeah, go ahead.

Marco: And and some so sorry about that. And God bless Torino Torino soul. God bless them. They always they always try hard.

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah, dude. I know. Mm-hmm.

Marco: you see it, but they just can't make things happen. So shout out to my Torino folks. Your team always tries. They try. But it's

Project 90 Soccer: Hey, the can Mm hmm They do. Consistent, consistent set of participants. That's fair enough for them, right? They're always in the league, but

Marco: They can never win these big games. Ever. Ever. Torino.

Project 90 Soccer: No. Mm mm. Mm mm.

Marco: Do it for the fans. Do it like Sosolo did for their fans. Just get a big dub. Make them feel happy. Make them feel proud. All these kids the next day, instead of them wearing their uniforms, they're gonna wear those Torino jerseys to school and they're gonna get in trouble. Torino.

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah. The way it's looking, dude, the way it's looking for Juve this season, how they're not not too hot, bro. Torino has a good chance to go into that derby game versus Juve and get a dub. For them, that

Marco: Yeah, wait.

Project 90 Soccer: would be that'd be amazing, bro. And I'm gonna tell you what, right now, I could probably speak for you that when they do match up this season, I'm going for Torino, dude. I want them to win. I wanna see them get some dubs. And I'd love to see them end somewhere in the mid table, bro. I want to see some new teams up in there. You know what I'm saying? So Be good to see. Unfortunate loss, but Roma just fucking handling business, bro. Last game.

Marco: I'll take that last.

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah, last game here, bro. Before I get into a little bit of a preview for next week, we got a big one. Inter winning five to three versus Udinese. And now Inter Milan again, bro, starting 2-0 down. Right? Two goals down, coming back to destroy, score five goals. Barella Turame Esposito on the board. Augusto Yuan Bonnie on the board. Look, man. Inter Milan, you can't say the same that we said about Roma about being defensively sound. They are letting goals in, but they are definitely putting goals in the back of the net, bro. So now inter Milan also sitting in second place due to goal differential, but they are undefeated this season. And yeah, man, they're they're just pretty much picking up where they left off, right? They've been dominant in the set I. So seeing Pio Esposito though getting more time and scoring, getting on the score sheet's a good sign for Inter, but it's also a good sign for Italy considering he is a very

Marco: Yeah, that's your room.

Project 90 Soccer: very young player, bro, and Italy's been missing a big boy striker like him. I think that's the type of player that Italy needs. But how do you feeling about Inter Milan here? You know, obviously they're letting some goals in, but they're able to come out with the dub. But do you think that's something to be concerned about? The fact that they're getting scored on like this and going down?

Marco: Quick, quick, just to touch on Esposito. It

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: still it showed that he lacked experience and personality when they were playing Bosnia. So this is very to your point, very important that he's getting these goals and and getting these minutes. So he can go confident into these international matches, international friendlies, to where the coach he knows he has somebody he can rely on down the stretch for the next couple of years. So just quick tandem on that. And

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: Does it concern me with Inter getting scored on? No, because the Inter I know is they get scored on. But they've always had the players in in the squad to be able to make things happen. I mean, when I was watching this, I didn't watch the full game, I watched extended highlights. When I watched them that they were down immediately, one mistake by the goalie.

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: two, Udinese, they've carried some characters in the past. Alexis Sanchez. Bruno Fernandez, they've carried some guys. Some young guys. Yeah,

Project 90 Soccer: Di Natale dude. Yeah.

Marco: some young guys before anybody knows who they are. So it doesn't surprise me that they're able to do this to Inter. I they could do it to anybody. But to to Inter being able to come back, I mean, one, they have the depth in the squad, they have the experience

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: to be down two zero, to be down one zero, two one in the past with all the tournament that they play. So and not only that, but like their players, the experience that they get outside of the CIA. Surprised me they're able to make it happen. But let's say Roma continues to do what Roma's been doing. They're solid defense, very little goals, if not more clean sheets. When you go into that game, it's gonna be where one of those things where Inter is gonna have to be concerned that they get scored on. Because

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: Roma's not looking to easily get scored on if at all. So

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: and this and the same thing I'll say with Como, right? very good counterattacking team. So concerning little yes. But not to where like it's it's make or break.

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah, obviously, you know, when you when you go up against a team, it seems like Inter is really relying on their attack right now. You know, when you see Inter go down two to zero, you don't really panic and say, my god, they're gonna lose this game because you still have that feeling that Inter is in the game, especially after all these performances we've been seeing. but when you come up against Roma, which this weekend is Roma versus Inter, right? Battle for first place. So we're really gonna see if that Roma defense is as solid as it seems. We're really going to see if that inter Milan attack is as solid as it seems, is as good as it is, and as dangerous as it's been seeming. Because putting up five goals again, man, they're they're they're really putting them in the back of the net for multiple different players. But Roma seems to just have solid wins, solid defense. And now, obviously, after four games, they're both sitting at twelve points. And to close this episode out, I pretty much want to just hit you with a preview of what you think is gonna happen. Now, Roma is Inter Milan, both in first place, both with twelve points. How do you see this weekend's game playing out in service Roma?

Marco: think interior where they playing, where they playing.

Project 90 Soccer: I actually do not know. I'll find that out, but let's see. Where I wanna say it's in Rome.

Marco: Probably.

Project 90 Soccer: Because it's gonna make a big difference, you're right. That is a massive difference.

Marco: You know what? I'm gonna just say it, regardless of where they play, the San Isidro or they go to Rome, I think Inter is hanging Roma their first loss of the season. Yeah,

Project 90 Soccer: It is in Rome, it is in Rome.

Marco: I regardless, I st I still think Inter is gonna give them their first loss of the season. I don't know, but right now my gut, my big gut is telling me Inter is gonna is gonna go home at three points.

Project 90 Soccer: Damn, dude. I have to I have to disagree with you. I think Roma is gonna come out and they're gonna they're gonna keep a clean sheet. They're gonna shut Inter Milan out and they're gonna win like a solid I'm gonna say two to zero, bro. It's a it's a very it's a I'm not giving Inter a chance, bro. Okay, look, look. I'll give it I'll give them one. Two to one.

Marco: Not giving them a chance. They these guys just came back from being down two zero. No, no, no. No, no, no. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. You say two to zero. Two to zero.

Project 90 Soccer: Not not happening. Two to zero. I'm gonna stick with it, bro. They're at they're at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. They have a undeniable just perfect start to the season. They're sitting in first. They have a killer attack, killer players, dude.

Marco: Hey, how many times have been how many times have I been correct already?

Project 90 Soccer: Dude, your predictions are far more often correct than mine. I don't think I've ever been right, to be honest. But this weekend I will be because Rome's gonna win two to zero.

Marco: And I hope you are. And I hope you are.

Project 90 Soccer: I hope so too, because I you know, I really want Como to win, obviously this SettiA. I'm just rooting for them, but I would love fucking love to see Roma win the Settia. I love Dybala, bro. Mollin,

Marco: Me too.

Project 90 Soccer: I love I love the whole team, the whole squad, everything they got going at Rome. I've been a fan of them for many years. and it's just it's nice to see and you know, I have a lot of respect for Rome because I saw Thoughty make his debut back in the day and I followed it all the way through, bro. And there's something about a one one club legend,

Marco: Il figlio dei Tallias.

Project 90 Soccer: bro. One club legend. He stuck with them no matter what happened, bro. He won a set of title with them. He could have went to Real Madrid, he didn't do it. He said, I'm gonna stick with Rome. And you know, if you ask Tholty today what the biggest victory of his career was. Of course the World Cup's a big one, but he he always often refers to winning the set I with Rome, dude. And that's saying something, dude. So if Roma could come back and win the set I I would just be I'd be overjoyed for Rome, dude. Obviously majestic, epic city, bro.

Marco: Every time you bring up Toti, yes, his history and everything he's done in the CIA and for the national team. But remember that entrance when they're doing one of those last calls, Il Filho di Roma. And then just every time I I come across

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Marco: that video where I think about that, it just it gives me chills. But Toti, Toti,

Project 90 Soccer: Epic, dude. It's epic.

Marco: you're Toti, you're probably gonna be in the house. You're probably gonna be in the Gaza. But I think Inter is gonna take it. Now Toro Martinez is gonna score one goal and the other one's gonna come from the midfield. So two

Project 90 Soccer: We'll see you, man.

Marco: to whatever. And who do we got next?

Project 90 Soccer: For our match recaps, that's it. It's the big talking points for those games right there. But I want to go over real quick the top ten in the Settiat table, bro. Napoli in tenth place. Sasuolo in ninth place after beating Juve, who's in eighth place. Frosinone, bro, seventh place. It's a big, it's a big, that's a amazing spot to be in for Frosinone. AC Milan climbing up a little bit into sixth place. Cagliari, dude, in fifth place. That's wild, bro.

Marco: They they got a good dub recently in the weekend. They got a good dub.

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah, that's amazing for them, bro. Lazio's in fourth place. Como in third place, inter in second, Roman Roman first. Now I'm looking at this and I'm also thinking, yes, Rome inter is a big game. But bro, Lazio's in fourth, and Rome's in first. And that's a derby game right there, right? So when they come together, that clash, notoriously, those fans they go nuts, bro. That's one of the biggest games in the set. Latio was Rome. And if Lazio keeps climbing or stays in maybe the top four here, It's gonna be a massive game, bro. They're gonna get a lot of pride out of going in there and trying to beat Rome, but I don't know if Gatuzo and them are gonna be able to do it, bro. Honestly, that's I don't know. I think I think after this weekend into Rome, we're gonna get a better idea of what these teams are made of, bro. But that's it for the set I recap. It's all I got, Marco. Before we close out this episode, do you have do you have anything you wanna say, man?

Marco: Course I do. Honorable mentions, Fabio Grosso gets canned with with

Project 90 Soccer: Duh, dude.

Marco: Fiorentina. So a big name for Italy. Not such a big name as manager as of right now. We got that going on. Il Capitano di Genoa, Johan Vasquez, back-to-back goals. Got one

Project 90 Soccer: Mm.

Marco: over the weekend, but also got a red card. And today, in the Coppa Italia, he scores a game winner. Gave him a dub. Now they go on to the next round. And last but not least, Jamel Rodriguez came

Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.

Marco: back to Colombia, signed Atletico Nacional, and called the quit with the national squad.

Project 90 Soccer: Reti Yeah. Yep.

Marco: so Anton, is this the end of the road? And is he staying in Colombia for good?

Project 90 Soccer: Dude, I think he's done, dude. I think we saw after Minnesota, after this last World Cup, dude, it's not the same James Rodriguez that we've seen. I think people are done investing on him because of his age, obviously. But also it just seems like his his fire, his passion for the games doesn't seem like it's there anymore, right? You know, when we first saw him in that in that World Cup for Columbia, where he really became the breakout star, I mean, this guy was undeniably one of the best attacking players in the world. And there's, you know, this whole set of B talk and this and that and sedia with Jaime Rodriguez, but it just never panned out, right? He's going back to Colombia, announced his retirement. And I think I think this is the end of the road for him, bro. I only see a couple more years left in the tank for him, but we gotta admit, bro, legendary player, legendary career. Did he live up to the hype or to the height the heights that we might have all thought he could have?

Marco: I wouldn't even say legendary player. I would say legendary I would say legendary moments.

Project 90 Soccer: That's a better way to put it. That is truly a better way to put it now that you say that. Because yeah, his career wasn't he wasn't a legendary player throughout his career. Like legendary, truly like one of the GOATs, right? He wasn't one of those. But he did have some absolute iconic moments, to be completely honest, man. So Jaimers Rodriguez, dude, shout out to you. You did what you had to do. You represented Colombia. And that's it, bro. SETI Roundup, SETI recap. We will see you this weekend. Inter Milan versus Roma.
