Mel Mudkiper posted:The first ten minutes of calcio are always fun because its only tangentially a ball game by virtue of their being a ball somewhere in that street fight That's always the best part, the match starts and everyone in the middle immediately squares up in a half-assed boxing stance, while the little guy with the ball and the people in the backfield just play catch for a while.

As someone who played a lot of RTSs as the red team I will support the steroid abusing cheating Florentine team.

The only sport I think that competes with Calcio storico in violence and absurdity is that Russian Team MMA league

Verdi Fan Zone As a life long Verdi fan I welcome all well intentioned newcomers to our tent. Fair weather fans and glory hunters are not welcome. Did you know the Greens won the first game of the modern reintroduction of Calcio Storico played in 1930? That's right they did. The Greens are a powerhouse that has a storied history. They have fought to keep the Calcio tradition as pure as possible, protesting occasional attempts to soften the game. They are champions that embody the spirit of the sport. Let's pay respects to past greats Including the Wayne Gretzky of Calcio Storico Gianluca Lapi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLbPy-cgGa0 What an absolute legend. Heck, lets take a look at some more golden age footage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb4ENoLLLj8 Let the feelings of nostalgia wash over you. Also if you have Hbo they featured Calcio Storico in a recent minidoc and focused a bit on Verdi (with classic Bonfiglio expulsion footage). It also features some weird dad forcing his kid to do mma so skip those parts. http://www.hbo.com/state-of-play/episodes/0/5-inherent-violence/index.html I captured the speech the Verdi coach gives at the 19 minute mark because it's tremendous https://streamable.com/v2u9m Rossi Fan Zone
