3-1 na verlening voor Torino, dat de laatste 20 minuten met 10 speelde.
Verder slechts 12 gele prenten.
Delle Alpi uitverkocht en helemaal uit z'n dak, geweldig gezicht.

Turijn is in elk geval volgend jaar vertegenwoordigd in de Serie A en gelukkig in elk geval door de echte club van Turijn.

Prison threat for Cafu

Milan stopper Marcos Cafu is facing the threat of a prison sentence if found guilty of falsely obtaining an Italian passport.

Italian prosecutors have called for the Brazilian national team captain to be handed a 10-month jail term should a guilty verdict be handed out.

The case originally dates back to 2001 when the South American, then at Roma, was one of 11 players to have allegedly gained EU citizenship by falsifying paperwork.

The public prosecutor in charge of the case has also asked for Roma President Franco Sensi, Cafu’s wife and former Giallorossi striker Gustavo Bartelt to be handed sentences too.

A host of non-European players applied for Italian citizenship in the 1990s and 2000s in order to fall in line with player restrictions.

However, even if the 36-year-old is found guilty of wrongdoing then he is set to avoid a spell behind bars.

Italian law dictates that individuals with a clean record are usually handed suspended sentences for offences which carry less than two years.

Buffon open to Plan C

Gigi Buffon says he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of staying at Juventus – even if it means playing Serie C football.

The goalkeeper has been linked with an exit given the possibility that Juve may be stripped of their Serie A status as a result of the Calciopoli investigations.

But Buffon, apparently already a target for Milan and Real Madrid, is not making any decisions about his future just yet.

“Would I stay with Juventus in B? Nothing scares me in football anymore, not even the prospect of Serie C,” he said from Italy’s World Cup training base.

“The fortunate thing about Juventus is that there is an historic family behind it with over 100 years of involvement,” he added.

“I’m waiting to hear what the project is for the future and then I will make my decisions with serenity.”

Italian football is going through a rough time as a result of the scandal, but 21m people tuned in for last night’s 2-0 win over Ghana.

“That is a really satisfying piece of news as it shows that the people want to celebrate after what has happened recently,” he added.

“It’s great to sweat, make sacrifices and run for your nation. This sense of unity can help to cancel out everything as everyone will be happy if we manage to win.”
