Italy Scandal

the italian corruption scandal will be delivering its verdicts on mon, after the World Cup has been won or lost by italy :D

hope they lose and lose their status as world class players
Italian duo reject trial evidence
The trial has caused a media storm in Italy
Lazio president Claudio Lotito drives away from the hearing
Lawyers representing Lazio and AC Milan in Italy's football corruption trial say the clubs have no case to answer.

The pair, along with Fiorentina and Juventus, face relegation and fines if found guilty of sporting fraud.

Juventus' lawyer Cesare Zaccone has already said his clients could settle for relegation and points deduction as "an acceptable punishment."

"We at Lazio are innocent. We don't have anything to admit," said lawyer Gian Michele Gentile.

The scandal broke in May with the publication of transcripts of telephone conversations between former Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi and Italian Football Association officials, discussing refereeing appointments in the 2004-05 season.


Respect for the rules is in Milan's DNA

Milan lawyer Marco De Luca

A tribunal in Rome is investigating charges that the clubs, their management, football officials and referees tried to influence the outcome of matches by interfering with the appointment of referees.

It is due to deliver its judgement on Monday, the day after Italy play in the World Cup final.

Lawyer Marco De Luca, representing Milan vice-president lawyer for Adriano Galliani, the vice-president of six-times European champions Milan, also protested his clients had done nothing wrong.

"Respect for the rules is in Milan's DNA," he said.

The sports tribunal will not hand out penal sentences.

A separate magistrates' investigation in Naples has yet to decide whether to press criminal charges against some of the individuals accused.

:D

Perhaps this new rule should make football more interesting:

1 point for kicking someone in the groin with the ball. 2 if they bend over at an angle greater than 15 degrees or fall down as a result.

This may be the only chance England will have at winning...

Alrek, the only thing we saw at the World cup was that football as big business compromises the game.
England has a lot of good players- aside from Beckham that is. The problem is that the English national team is a collection of good players, but not a team... because of the shit manager they had and the one coming is no better.
Pity for the fans tho'
