After years in coaching in Spain and now England, it seems Fabio Capello has turned on his
Italian compatriots...or at least is now far enough away to not fear a violent attack from the
ultras. At an seminar organized by the Italian FA about the state of calcio, Capello is quoted as
saying:
"It's the ultras who give the orders in Italy.

Il dolore ha pervaso anche il mondo del calcio, che si stringe alle famiglie dei militari caduti

I gironi validi per la stagione 2008/2009 del campionato di Prima Divisione Lega Pro sono stati
diramati oggi pomeriggio, 14 agosto.
Girone B come di consueto per il Perugia, e soprattutto tornano i derby: i Grifoni giocheranno

Manchester United have signed 16 year old Davide Petrucci, a student at the AS Roma youth academy,
a move that has left the Giallorossi crying foul. Petrucci is by all accounts a talented attacking
