After watching another round of matches today, im trying to figure out who plays the nicest, most free flowing attack minded football in Italy. My answer is not just due to today results but over the past few months. I would say its between Fiorentina or AC Milan. Both have great formations with great players up front. Its a joy to watch any of there games. Bari, Roma, Palermo and Cagliari should also be mentioned.
As for the worst. I would have to say after switching our of the 4-2-3-1 formation it is Juventus. Its just ugly every way you look at it. Inter comes close along with Udinese and Lazio.

Fiorentina had a very good win today but are down to 10th position...not good enough.
Milan are doing great, obviously, so are Inter...Roma are doing better than before but are still unconvincing

I like Cagliari a lot but it's probably Milan or Fiorentina, that match should be interesting.

Fiorentina are 7th, 3 points off 4th with a game in hand. Anyway, the quality of football doesn't always match the table unfortunately, if it did Inter would have disolved as a football club.

thanks for the correction Tobinho.
the best football is also about getting results isn't it?...of course has to be in an honest and a legal manner.

Some people would say that but it's not what Alex meant, it's not what I think of as great football either since you can win with extremely ugly football. Clearly winning whilst playing beautiful football is the ideal, but it's pretty difficult.

Genoa play the most attractive game, it's very off-the-cuff. But they are so unbalanced it is untrue.
Fiorentina and Milan also play attractive football, as mentioned.
Roma used to, but less so under Ranieri. Juve do with the 4-3-1-2, but suffer from the same problems Genoa do.
Inter play the worst. That's not spite, that's fact, booooooooring.

Italian football just isn't what it used to be. Sometimes this is for better, other times for worse.
If more people watched Serie A now they would like it than 10 years ago, but the tactical standard has decreased.

Playing like über sh*t and still managing to get a result. Something that Inter has achieved on a regular basis.

Juve did it under Capello as well, although not quite so boring.
