Due to problems with our dial-in facilities here during the week-end
and the Thanksgiving Day holiday yesterday, I was unable to send the
results to the net earlier.

Serie A did not play on Sunday allowing some rest for the World Cup
Qualifying match between Italy and Switzerland which will be played
tomorrow (Wednesday) in Cagliari.

Here are the scores for the Serie B games played yesterday, and
followed by some news regarding the Italian national team...


Serie B, Week 6; Games played Sunday, October 11, 1992:

Bari		3	Ternana		1
Bologna		1	Andria		1
Cosenza		1	Cesena		1
Lecce		1	Padova		0
Modena		1	Reggiana	1
Monza		1	Cremonese	3
Piacenza	0	Lucchese	0
Pisa		0	Spal		0
Venezia		1	Taranto		0
Verona		1	Ascoli		0


So after 4 weeks undefeated, Ascoli loses to Verona, who scored
on a penalty kick, and also loses hold of first place to a Cremonese
who won at Monza. Bari moves back up towards the top of the table
thanks to goals by Tovaglieri, an ex-Ancona player. Bologna continues
with its disappointing performances, drawing at home to last-place
Andria.


Serie B Standings after 6 games:

		W	T	L	GF	GA	PTS	MI
Cremonese	5	0	1	14	6	10	1
Ascoli		4	1	1	10	2	9	0
Reggiana	3	3	0	9	1	9	0
Bari		3	2	1	11	7	8	-1
Cosenza		2	4	0	7	3	8	-1
Verona		3	2	1	6	3	8	-1
Pisa		3	2	1	3	2	8	-1
Venezia		2	3	1	6	4	7	-2
Lecce		3	1	2	7	10	7	-2

Ternana		0	3	3	4	9	3	-6

Taranto		0	2	4	1	7	2	-7


Here are the 20 players capped by Italy's national team coach Arrigo
Sacchi last week for the Italy - Switzerland game which, as mentioned
above, will be played tomorrow in Cagliari. Thanks go out to Saverio
Cittadini who helped me to complete this list.

Albertini (Milan), D. Baggio (Juventus), R. Baggio (Juventus),
Bianchi (Inter), Casiraghi (Juventus), Costacurta (Milan),
Di Chiara (Parma), Donadoni (Milan), Eranio (Milan), Evani (Milan),
Lanna (Sampdoria), Lentini (Milan), Maldini (Milan), Marchegiani (Torino),
Minotti (Parma), Pagliuca (Sampdoria), Signori (Lazio), Tassotti (Milan),
Vialli(Juventus), Zola (Napoli).

On Sunday, the Azzurri played a friendly match against the Fiorentina
Farm team (or as they call it in Italy, the "Squadra Primavera"),
defeating them 6-1. Goals came in the first half from Baggio ('15),
Minotti ('18), and Lentini ('20). Giraldi scored the lone goal for
the farm team in the first half at the 43rd minute. In the second
half, Donadoni scored two goals ('5 and '20) and Zola ('15) added
another for the Italian national team. Minotti was playing for
Costacurta, who was out due to a stiff neck. Maldini, contrary to
his wishes was playing libero, and will most likely play as libero
tomorrow. Lazio's Signori suffered a minor injury in the second half
and thus will not be participating in Wednesday's match.

For people in North America, RAI-USA will broadcast the Italy - Switzerland
game live on Wednesday, starting at 3:15pm ET.
