Episode 145 - Know Your Football Clubs: Italy

Today is Know Your Football Clubs, Italian edition.

One thing Mike found interesting with Italy: groundsharing (two teams sharing a stadium - think New York Giants-New York Jets) is very prevalent here, as opposed to the other countries we've discussed so far, where most clubs have their own stadiums.

Note: neither Mike nor Tim speak Italian, so please do not crucify us if we get the club names' pronounciation wrong.

Clubs we focused on in today's discussion:

Bologna Fiorentina Genoa Internazionale (Inter Milan)
Juventus Lazio AC Milan Napoli
Parma Pro Vercelli Roma Sampdoria
Torino

Clubs we mentioned in passing:

Reggiana

Fair use: We end today's episode with "Juve Storia di un Grande Amore," the official anthem of Juventus FC.  Even if you don't speak Italian, it's a beautiful song about love for the club.
