Post by: Keystone Phil on May 29, 2012, 11:22:43 AM Prime Minister Monti is aiming to be even more unpopular by calling for the most popular sport in Italy to be stopped for a few years in the wake of yet another betting scandal - http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/soccer/05/29/italy.ap/index.html (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/soccer/05/29/italy.ap/index.html)

Monti went on to say that his comments weren't meant as a call from the government but as the desperate feelings of a lifelong fan, disgusted with the scandals. Coincidentally, Monti made the comments alongside the Polish Prime Minister. I'm surprised Tusk didn't lean over and say, "And this is why your country lost out to mine to host the Euros."

Teamwork is important in football, so it is only natural that players who were used to working together even when nominally on opposing sides would do well when on the same side. ;) Title: Re: Monti wants Soccer halted for 2-3 years.
