You can’t escape a creeping feeling of positivity in Rome right now.The turn of the year has refreshed the flagging optimism of some fans Cheap Germany Soccer Team Uniform , the sun has begun to emerge from hibernation and the return of Serie A is just around the corner.Additionally, Lazio’s 4-1 win over Novara last weekend secured the Roman club a Coppa Italia quarter-final against Inter and saw the likes of Luis Alberto and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic show further hints that they are finally returning to their best form.The transfer market has opened and sporting director Igli Tare has started to deliver on his vow to trim the squad down to size, finding loan moves for three promising youngsters in need of game time as Joseph Minala returned to Salernitana and Venezia brought in both Alessandro Rossi and Cristiano Lombardi.Everything is motoring along nicely. However, a trip to perennial bogey team Napoli on Sunday night threatens to dampen the mood, with Lazio hoping to end a long and miserable record of suffering against the Vesuviani.We’ve been here before, after all. Back in August www.thetopsoccer.com/national-team-kit/italy , anticipation was high ahead of the season opener against Napoli after an encouraging transfer campaign and pre-season for Lazio.Ciro Immobile’s superb opening goal in that game – which was recently named as the Aquile’s goal of the year for 2018 – gave them the perfect start before the visitors were sparked to life and fought back to win 2-1.The defeat was the first of two that opened a tough start to the season, the second coming against defending champions Juventus.Now Lazio are back where they started and once again doubts are being raised about their ability to win big games in Serie A – doubts that have only snowballed since those early days of the campaign.Defeats to Roma and Inter and a draw with Milan have come since, but Napoli remain the biggest curse of all for Lazio among the top six.Sunday’s match will see Simone Inzaghi reach a new landmark as Lazio coach as he oversees his 132nd match at the helm of the Biancocelesti, overtaking Edy Reja to reach number six in the all-time list.But if his record is anything to go by, it could be a day to forget. Since taking the reins in Rome, Inzaghi has struggled to get the better of the Azzurri Cheap Mexico Soccer Team Uniform , drawing his first encounter before losing all four subsequent meetings. Three of those were by three-goal margins.It gets worse. In their last 15 clashes, Lazio have picked up just two wins, losing 10 and drawing three.The record is so appallingly bad that the sporadic victories have stuck in the memory, earning a special golden haze thanks to their rarity.The 4-2 win in Naples on the final day of the 2014/15 season was a huge moment, securing third place and a Champions League play-off spot for Stefano Pioli’s side, while video footage of Stefano Mauri’s spectacular overhead kick in the 3-1 victory in Rome back in April 2012 is regularly dug out from the archives.The challenge awaiting Lazio this weekend is no less significant than those that have come before. Under Carlo Ancelotti www.thetopsoccer.com/national-team-kit/portugal , Napoli have solidified their status as Italy’s second-best team and they have not lost a match at the San Paolo since March last year.Additionally, no away fans will be making the trip south after authorities took the decision to close the visiting end amid fears of clashes in the wake of the Boxing Day violence at San Siro when Napoli faced Inter.Lazio can’t afford a repeat of the start of the season, when they failed to pick up a single point in their games against Napoli and Juventus.Inzaghi’s side are currently where they want to be, in fourth place, but with six teams within six points of them the Biancocelesti could tumble down the standings if they lose both games.Inzaghi has done a remarkable job with Lazio already, but marking this landmark appearance on the Aquile bench with a win would rank among his biggest results. There will be little room for error. NEW YORK (AP) — Procter & Gamble Cheap Russia Soccer Team Uniform , a sponsor of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team, is now supporting its members’ fight for equal pay.The company, which supports U.S. soccer through its Secret deodorant brand, says it will donate $529,000 — $23,000 for each of the 23 players on the U.S. team that won the World Cup earlier this month — to help close the pay gap. The sponsor took out a full-page ad printed in The New York Times on Sunday urging the U.S. Soccer Federation to “be on the right side of history.”“Let’s take this moment of celebration to propel women’s sports forward www.thetopsoccer.com/national-team-kit/spain ,” Secret says in the ad. “We urge the US Soccer Federation to be a beacon of strength and end gender pay inequality once and for all.”In March, 28 members of the USWNT sued the US Soccer Federation for alleged gender discrimination. The suit claims the federation pays the women less than members of the men’s national team.
