Football's back. Angelo, the man with a passion for all things calcio, should be happy. And what a pleasant rentree it's been too. Giuventus, the team which Lanzarote wrote an almost prophetic piece about before the calciopoli floodgates came crashing down, got off to a slow start in what the Italians call il campionato cadetto. Actually, La Repubblica described Giuve's disappointing (but historic) debut against seaside resort team Rimini as "un Flop", using the original English word in that endearing Italian manner: lo smoking, il night club, la showgirl. And il flop. Great! To make things even better it seems that the 'victimised' Giuve players and staff, having been stripped of their ill-gotten scudetto, have taken to wearing the tricolore on specially designed sweatbands. You can't blame them for their little act of defiance - their gruelling task to regain their long-lost credibility is bound to make them perspire profusely. At 18hrs the real league kicked off and the giallorossi got off to a good start with a convincing 2-0 win over Livorno. Totti's little tot Christian was carried by his dad into the warm stadio Olimpico before the game. A good start then.
