A match made in heaven (well, almost)
I went to the San Siro to watch the last game of serie A between Milan and Roma. Milan won 2-1 with two very dubious penalties (at the beginning and right at the end), but at least it improved the atmosphere. Italian football has been rocked by a major scandal. Juventus are the main culprits of match fixing, or something related to refereeing. They won the scudetto yesterday, finishing 3 points ahead of Milan. However, such is the seriousness of the scandal they could end up being stripped of their title and even being relagated to serie B! Who knows, I may have been watching Milan win the championship!
My good friend Berlusconi was at the game but I was too busy to meet him. Plus now he is not the main man in Italy either!
Enjoy.

The police ready for the Roma fans!
