That's the number of incidents I can recall on the Italian game. 5. That's how much Italy have disgraced the beautiful game. With these 5 incidents, it just shows how the past English hooliganism has sadly influenced the current Italian fans. These are the 5 infamous incidents.:

1. Fabio Grosso in the World Cup
In the last 16 round of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, 10-men Italay were being held in extra-time against unfancied Australia, and with seconds remaining before the dreaded penalty shoot-out, Italy's Fabio Grosso takes a dive under a contact-less Lucas Neill challenge. Italy win a penalty and Francesco Totti scores to haul Italy into the quater-finals.

2. Police Death after Italian Game
After the Italian Serie A game with Catania going up against Palermo, riots occured around the stadium and that a police was killed during that riot. And now most stadiums have games played behind closed-doors.


3. Marco Materazzi in the World Cup
In extra time again, this time in the finals of the same FIFA World Cup. Marco Materazzi provokes French legend Zinedane Zidane with some nasty words, in turn getting the French playmaker to headbutt him in return and get sent off. Italy then go on to win the tainted World Cup trophy.





4. Crowd Trouble during Matches
There is always so much crowd trouble in these Italian games, be it Serie A or Serie B. Fireworks and flares are always lit to disrupt games. Violence and riots also always occur, during, after and before the match.



5. Match-Fixing Scandal
Lastly... That infamous match-fixing scandal, that involved many clubs, most notably, AC Milan and Juventus. This incident led to Juventus getting demoted to Serie B, stripped off its Serie A title, and deducted much points. AC Milan had to go through the UEFA Champions League qualifying campaign, and Internazionale was handed the tainted Serie A title.

All these incidents of Italian football, really is disgracing the beautiful game. And that look at the English Premier League... Its' as safe as ever. No police has died before, no riots, no violence and no match-fixing. England's national team does not dive and does not provoke others. Get it right Italian football...

Hahaa...

Bye~!
