Yep, it's because at the time (1898) it was cheaper to print on pink than on white. The pink jersey in the Giro d'Italia was made of that colour in honor of the Gazzetta itself. Over recent years it's become an absolutely woeful sports paper unfortunately, but it's still the most important one...
I love it but unfortunately it's not that common here in Italy. I've only had it a couple times in my life, on the second time when visiting Oxford I forced my friends to try it as well.
I wouldn't bet on it. The difference in budget between PL and Serie A clubs is sometimes staggering. And at the moment it's better for a player to be in the 6th team in the PL than in the 6th team in Serie A.
I'm sure he's already mentioned it in some interviews in the UK, but it's partly because of his own career as a player. He was a promising #10 in Milan's academy as a youngster, with a very sweet left foot, but he was the lazy/egocentric type and Milan had a strong squad at the time, so after...
Oh I didn't think about that, I don't watch rugby so I had no idea it was a common rugby pattern - the only one I'm familiar with here in Italy are the horizontal stripes, the kind that Celtic also wear
I was thinking that it's funny that De Zerbi's home team's (Brescia) shirt design would fit you perfectly, given your logo. The white "V" changes width and depth depending on the years (in the past it went to the belly and was thinner) but it's basically a big white V over a blue shirt.
This...
Yeah, I feel mostly the same, that's why I wrote that I'm glad that they've moved on to doing less risky stuff in recent years, like that video in Basel or other more normal-sized challenges
I'm just going to let you guys know that "cazzo" in Italian is probably the most common swearword (equivalent to "fu*k" in usage even though it literally means "co*k".) So when we Serie A fans see those teams like Aston Villa that have "CAZOO" (which would be pronounced as "cazoh!" in Italian -...
Find it hard to believe that nobody in that thread mentioned parkour videos made by the Storror guys seeing as they're local; their channel is probably where I've first heard the city of Brighton mentioned.
For me their weekly video is the equivalent of what watching cats videos is for some...
We usually treat them as nice sidepieces to conversations, a bit like cigars were in the past, not as quick shots to get to disinhibition
Yeah, there's plenty of ways to be criminal arseholes without drinking heavily
West Ham doing everything in their power to be unlikable though.
If there's one thing we thankfully don't have here is a widespread heavy drinking culture, and that relates to football as well. No large parts of Italian fans in a stadium will be drunk when watching a match, and ultras in...
Just seen a "JUVE MERDA" banner among the most visible ones held high by the Fiorentina fans, "obsessed" doesn't begin to cover it. And to think that I was coming into this with such good sentiments and a slight sense that I would be cheering for them.
