Think it's on the right hereOriginally Posted by Eirambler

The Coppa Italia doesn't exactly bring out the crowds in Udine I see.
No run out for the two lads and Udinese made heavy weather of beating a team I've never heard of before tonight who play in a 2000 capacity stadium.
The crazy thing is that in England if you describe an opponent of a top-tier team like that, you're probably talking about an FA Cup third round fixture against a semi-pro outfit from the Isthmian League - in Italy, you're talking about the team that finished third in the third tier, the equivalent of MK Dons
Yes, they were very close to promotion to Serie B, which is why they qualified for the Italian Cup - unlike national cups in this part of the world they limit the entrants in Italy to about the 40 highest ranked teams. The nearest comparison I can think of in England would maybe be Burton when they were in the Championship a few years back.
To be fair to them they looked a well organised outfit.
