CurvAmerica Podcasts

Happy Festivus! And Happy holidays to all those too old for Seinfeld. Week 18 was filled with the Airing of Grievances - mostly from Inter and Roma.  Napoli and Juve might be pulling away in the table as if eight tiny reindeer are guiding their sleigh. OTFR give Crotone four lumps of coal while Atalanta make it thoroughly clear that Milan is on the naughty list and will not receive anything nice for Christmas this year.  Udinese see their new mister Massimo Oddo as a real life Babbo Natale who keeps bringing gifts.  Marco’s Bologna enjoy a meat sauce filled Christmas dinner for beating Chievo, while the Cagliari and Hellas both sing Silent Night with no goals.  All the Wk 18 action coming your way!!

CurvAmerica is joined by a fellow podcaster - Coffee & Football's Sebastian Alvarado!  He originally hails from Gothenberg, Sweden, but has been a New Yorker since 2003.  His podcast takes a long-form interview approach with interesting & influential profiles involved in the soccer world, discussing their lives and career journeys.  Serie A fans, check out his interviews with Venezia FC Owner Joe Tacopina and Italian-American and US Soccer Federation Presidential candidate Kyle Martino.  Both interviews talk about the Serie A - but beyond the league we all love - there are some truly incredible interviews.  We talk about his podcast experience, playing career, and World Cup 2018.

The Top of the Table forgets how to play soccer this week and drop a combined 13 points.  The Derby d’Italia results in a disappointing 0-0 draw and Tim Kraus from Serpents of Madonnina joins us to give his reaction.  Roma take that Derby result and play a double goose egg draw of their own.  Napoli say “hold my prosecco” and play yet another goal-less draw to round out the Top 4.  Sampdoria continue to slide against Cagliari.  Gattuso gets his first 3 points as Milan’s skipper and OTFR are all kinds of emotional after their 4th disappointing weekend in a row.
