This week’s Serie A Team Of The Week was a tough choice and came down to two teams. Both teams won in their European matches and won their Serie A games as well. Taking into consideration the results, opposition, and standings a winner has been decided. Remember that the TOW played matches and/or made headlines from Oct. 20 - Oct. 26. The winner is:
Udinese Calcio
Udinese gets the slight nod over another Bianconeri squad, Juventus, because of their standing in Serie A. Udinese is now in 1st place in Italy after their 3-1 home victory Sunday over a disappointing AS Roma side. A double by Italian international forward Antonio Di Natale sealed the win for Udinese and have them top of the table just ahead of Inter & Napoli on goal differential.
Earlier in the week, Udinese got a home shut out versus Tottenham winning 2-0 and going a top Group D in UEFA Cup group play. Di Natale hit from the spot and Simeone Pepe put Spurs out of their misery with a late goal securing the 3 points.
Those results propelled Udinese to the TOW award over a Juventus side that got home wins over Real Madrid and Torino. Besides, Juventus has 27 Scudettos to Udinese’s Zero, so why not show them some love. Udinese ascent to the top of the Serie A gives them the title of Serie A Team Of The Week.

American readers quickly grasp my play on words and Italians of course know all too well the North-South rivalry alive and well in game and nation. This season has seen a parity of representation from both halves of the Italian nation, yet the biggest Serie A surprise thus far is a table race in which Southerners are holding their own at the top.
Truly the South is rising as yesterday’s 1 - 1 result against Seina places Catania temporarily in sole possession of second place behind leaders Inter, with Napoli looking to take over first place, after a Lavezzi orchestrated own goal against Lazio moments ago. Not far behind these two are fellow Southerners Palermo who greet Northerns Fiorentina later today. After yesterday’s comeback, Palermo surely will not want to be out done by their island neighbours, so look for a dogged match in this battle of Lega Calcio dominance.
A win today would propel Palermo ahead of the Viola and also draw them even with Catania. I suggest we all lift a glass of vino and sit back enjoying the ride of Southern fury in Serie A.
