Roma Update

A lot has happened for Roma recently, sorry about the lack of posts, I've been pretty busy. In Serie A, they finally got out of that horrible slump that we saw in the beginning of the season, which was one of, if not the single, worst in the club's history. They got back on track at the end of October, but solidified their rise with a huge victory against Lazio in the derby.

In the Champions League, they recently beat Basel, which has left them in second place behind Bayern Munich, who they will face at home this week (get tickets if you can!)

Tonight they play Udinese in Serie A at home, game starts at 6!

VUUUCINIC!!

Mirko Vucinic scored two goals last night to give Roma their biggest win of the season over crosstown rival Lazio. In the derby, Lazio scored first, then missed a penalty, but when Roma was awarded one in return, Vucinic put it home. He struck again not long after on a direct penalty kick just outside the box.

With few games remaining in the season and Roma sitting on top of Serie A, the excitement in Rome is tangible. I think people were honking in the streets until about 3 in the morning last night. The scudetto is close and you can feel it.

Roma's remaining games are against relatively weaker teams, so they are in control of their own destiny now. Inter, who is only one point behind, also faces an easy schedule for the last leg of the season and are ready to take home the championship if Roma slips up.

Roma faces Bologna tonight

Well Serie A is really heating up right now, as the race for the championship gets closer and closer. Roma has real hopes of winning their first championship since 2001, which would turn the entire city into a giant party/mess/frenzy/riot/celebration for about a month.

Tonight, Roma travels to Bologna for a must-win game, before hosting Inter this Saturday for what is being anticipated as the biggest game of the year for the giallorossi.
