Founded by a merger in 1927, Roma have participated at the top-tier of Italian football for all of their existence apart from one season. For their 56th season in a row, Roma are competing in Serie A for 2007–08.
Roma have won Serie A three times, first in 1941–42 then again in 1982–83 and 2000–01. As well as winning eight Coppa Italia trophies; on the European stage Roma won an Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1960–61, but have had come close to success finishing as runners-up in the European Cup in 1983–84 and the UEFA Cup in 1990–91.

Recomended Team + formation I highly recomend this formation:
and this starting lineup: GK:Doni(curci for the future, give him around 15 games first 2 seasons and he develops into italy's no.1 keeper by around 2011/2012
Dr:Cicinho
DL:Tonneto
DC:Juan
DC:Mexes
DM:De rossi
MC:Pizzaro or Aquilani
MR:Giuly
ML:Mancini
AMC:Totti or Aquilani
ST:Vucinic or totti
I highly reccomend a new DC to replace Juan for the future, try Ezequiel Garay from Racing who will cost around 20-30 mil.
Go for a new LM aswell so that Mancini will be able to go onto the right. i reccomend Diego Capel from Sevilla.
