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.
