I don't really care about football/soccer (or, in our language, "Calcio", which, as everyone knows, means "kick") and I could accept to talk diffusely about it only if Calcio was a forgotten sport of the past, like, say, the race of the chariots.
It's not even true I could talk diffusely about it, 'cause I have no clue really, although I immensely like the prose of old-school Calcio experts like the past Gianni Brera, when I happen to read it.
Otherwise Calcio bores me, and as a moderate fan of the "unlucky" team Inter (only because my grandfather was) I know italian Calcio to be a stupid fraud. I always felt it was very depressing to see people going nuts for it, since here in Italy it was all so obviously fixed, and when not fixed, too violent.
So, I am not surprised by, nor interested to, such news.

Anyway: (blah blah) important investigations are going on against Juventus, Milan, Lazio, Fiorentina and other minor Calcio teams. It seems that Juventus football team, that absurdly won this year's championship today, was in control of all the nominations of referees in the Italian championship, and shared its puppets with a bunch of friendly teams to fix the championship. They also gambled on it, but mostly it was probably considered "necessary" to cheat because big teams are listed companies, and lots of money are at stake.

So, years of "stunning" results and astonishing "luck" of Juventus and Milan and other teams should be revisited, I guess. But it's too late. I know that nothing significant will happen, and that next year it will be all the same fraud over again.
It's all so depressing, to see how in Italy everything, everywhere is rotten, although clearly Calcio it's the most obvious place to find rotten stuff here.
Yet even if you don't care for it, even if you somehow knew it was so ( if only because "everything else is" ), it gives a little pain to forcefully acknowledge the greedy immorality that pervades everything.

Oh, well! What should I say? Calcio... Let's not talk about it anymore.

-- in picture: Google trends. It's hard to find a search term more popular among italian Google's users than "calcio". Try with "figa" "sesso", "droga", "Berlusconi"...
