    Catania played Juve. I was a bit worried about the crowd, but mostly about Etna. Did I die in a fiery explosion? Probably not, given that you're reading this.

Around Serie A in Days Review

I am huge Serie A fan from the states. Although this covers the 2013-2014 season. It provides great insight and history of the teams, culture, and fans. I listened to all the episodes at-least two times already. There is always something I missed. The narrator has plenty of good puns like the DJ playing Cold Play to get the Sassulo crowd going. This just one example.This is an excellent listen just wish there were more episodes. Another book in the works 🤞. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍⚽️
