Here we go again with Serie A Weekly giving you a list of five stories to read this lunchtime that we have seen from around the web and enjoyed ourselves. Many of these will be about Italian football of course but there is always room for something different and those will be here too. Take a look at our recommendations, pass them on and be sure to leave a comment on these great articles. See you at the same time tomorrow for more of the same!

In the spirit of International week we step away from Serie A for a few moments and point you in the direction of this quality look at Germany’s recent matches and a number of their issues. Uli Hesse is always worth a read and his ESPN Soccernet latest piece is no exception. Read it here

Next up is a regular feature of ‘Five A Day’, Paolo Bandini’s superb weekly blog for The Score. This weeks post looks at the Mario Balotelli story here

A very interesting – and wholly accurate – look at the relationship between journalists and readers in a modern multi-media dominated world from Jonathan Wilson here

We always enjoy the excellent InBedWithMaradona.com and that is even more true when a good friend of Serie A Weekly is featured there. Juan Arango certain is that, read his piece on Vasco da Gama’s new-but-old kit here You can also check out the SerieAWeekly headliner on Vasco da Gama jersey history

Seemingly everyone has had their say on Fabio Capello and England, but few have done so as well as Giancarlo Rinaldi. Read his opinion here
