Lost on the wild and nasty battle stages in Italy

It should also give the Italians who are interested in soccer . Many, however, are not, and they, too, can escape the pull of the Calcio bad. With its rituals, he penetrates everything, the whole of the Italian everyday life. Football is a mirror of the Belpaese, at the Moment, the ugly Face back to flashing again. Not quite by accident.

The Italians watch football, play football, talk about football, betting on football, argue and laugh about football, teasing each other with football, suffering on the football. Constantly, almost religiously. Anyone know of any, which club he joined. Do you know of any politician, actor, writer, big entrepreneurs. Who has very much money, you can buy in Italy a football club. For glory and favor in the people. Silvio Berlusconi brought it up to Power.

Nothing unites Northern and southern Italians, which separates otherwise almost all, more than football. It is the game of all, "il gioco di tutti", the great substitute for religion. And maybe the world of Calcio remained just so archaic. Games are feuds such as tribal and religious wars. While the stadiums in other countries to the touch, in the meantime, in a civilized manner, such as theatres, stages Italian arenas still snotty-charged Fight. Always close to the Explosion, is always a bit dangerous. If you want to, for example, to the Roman Olympic stadium, you have to endure before that, three, sometimes four Body searches. The police can also check what it says on the scarves: It could be something Untold, something Racist or anti-Semitic.

extra-parliamentary groups have the curves infiltrated, it was easy.

In the curves of the Ultras, the hard Fans, who call themselves "warriors", there is the extreme right, and almost everywhere. You can see the fascist insignia, Tattoos with eagles and Crosses, at the relevant fashion, the shaved skulls. You can hear it also in the choirs, to the bellowed one monkey are against African players. Extra-parliamentary groups, the curves infiltrated, it was easy. In some cities, the Ultras have become so powerful that they can blackmail their clubs. Are you satisfied only if you get free cards, travel tickets and licenses for the sale of merchandise. Otherwise, they threaten them with violence. Players, club presidents, Association of, people, police: All in fear of the criminal gangs.

For the past 20 years has this been going on. Sometimes the country is outraged – as it is now, after the racist choirs against the Senegalese player Kalidou Koulibaly on St Stephen's day in Milan's San Siro stadium. Then it means that Italy need a "Margaret Thatcher", someone so, of the ferrule, the Hooligans in the knees, as did the British Prime Minister in the eighties. However, the anger dissipated.

The Italian government does not get a grip on the Problem. He can't do? Or he doesn't want to? In Italy, there are 45'000 Hooligans, organized into 450 groups. You know, you. The Newspapers show regularly land maps with your geographic location, and political disposition. The Ultra from Varese, died in the rampage before the game Inter Milan against Naples, was a member of Blood & Honour, a group of neo-Nazis.

Just a few days before the nefarious Christmas game had met Matteo Salvini, the right Minister of the interior, since the Republican commemoration and eroded followers of AC Milan, with a delegation of Ultras of his physical Association. For Selfies. He called them "gente perbene", decent people. Stadium lock because of the racist choirs? Salvini finds wrong. Because of Margaret Thatcher: Italy is ruled by a political Ultra.
