“A week after the international break in which an ageing Italian national team qualified for the 2010 World Cup, Serie A has rendered some early verdicts. Inter traveled to Genova and crushed Genoa 5-0 (their best away win since the 1970s), Juventus were held to a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina in Turin, Sampdoria dropped points courtesy of refereeing mistakes in their 1-1 draw against Lazio, and Milan finally eked out a 2-1 win at home against Roma. Inter are now alone at the top of the table, leading Sampdoria by 2 points, Juventus and Fiorentina by 4 (and Milan by 7).” (First Touch Online)
