Oh, and since we’re talking about ADP’s imminent call-up to the Azzurri, it would only be appropriate to read my “Will Alessandro Del Piero Be Going to Euro 2008? post.

"And in regards to the 3rd star, supposedly we can sew it on, as it’s not determined by the Lega. “A team may put however many stars on their jersey, there is no regulation defining the issue and the League does not impose this argument,” explained Fabio Santoro, Deputy Secretary of the Lega Calcio. “We say that it is an ethical issue. If Juventus wanted to put the third star when they win their next championship it would be their choice, and certainly would not be a violation of the rules.”

Ah, I stand corrected alessio... I didn't know. Seems weird though. By the way, that Gazzetta Materazzi article I linked to previously has been translated into English. I really recommend you all read it: "Berlin's hero turns to foe".

ATTN alessio ———-

I dont get this whole Juve was robbed of 2 serie a titles … and that they should place a 3rd star on the kit …. Why??? Im sure in 5-6 yrs time, they will get 30 serie a titles anyway …. what i dont get from juve fans, is that they think they were robbed by calcopoli .. why is that??? Juve and Moggi cheated, and this is why juve won the seire a …. its a fact … i still dont get why moggi would do it, but they still cheated. However I still think moggi should have been placed in prision, rather than have juve sent to serie b

I hate Juve (as you all know) BUT ADP showed he is top notch. Not celebrating was pure class and the right thing to do!! I wholeheartedly respect the man!!

ADP, Trez, and Borriello should all give each other a call and agree not to score this weekend.

I don’t like Roma either but compared to Inter, they are saints over there! I really really really hope Roma win their last game and Inter at least tie just to see the merda Interistas drown in their tears…i want them to lose it so bad! AS for the CL spot I too hope its the Viola because overall their campaign has been much more convincing than that of Milan.

I forgot a huge point, another one of my hopes- PAVEL for one more year.

I read that Marco, thanks for the link. I like this sentence- “Il popolo non riconosce più l’eroe, solo il rigorista colpevole, l’egoista arrogante.” Most non-Interistas have known this for a while.

And in regards to the 3rd star, supposedly we can sew it on, as it’s not determined by the Lega.
