Italian soccer games! what a show. I pulled myself out of bed on The Ides of March. I was sick as a dog from some sort of stomach flu i caught on Saturday. I had bought tickets to see Siena vs. Milan and was determined to go. When else was i going to go to an italian soccer match and see David Beckham play for Milan?!!
so i went. only for the 1st half but i did go.
Italians are crazy at football matches. We sat in the best section, the fan section, composed mostly of men all smoking, waving, flags and swearing. Here are some of the lovelycheers i heard.
via via Va Fanculo - get out of here and go fuck yourself
tu se il figlio del putana - you are the son of a whore
others included, your hand is enough, and when one player was pulled off the field for an injury they yelled in italian - leave and die.
it was a rousing game.
and i got to see Beckham that handsome golden football god.
