Sicilian Derby
First off I need to disclose that the Eyetay part of my family is from Palermo---I also must disclose that the Palermo home kits are hot as shit.
On Friday afternoon, before going out to the pub, I was watching the Sicilian Derby on Fox Soccer Channel--complete with hilarious Canadian Commentary that accompanies non-English matches on Fox Soccer. I watched the whole thing unfold and had no idea what was going on because the commentators didn't know.
I'm ashamed to admit, when I thought it was just a lot of flares and smoke bombs as Christian Miles lead us to believe, I found the whole thing hilarious. Then I found out someone died.
I do not like the way, however, that the English officials are talking about how Italian officials need to look to England to take the violence out of football. How did England take the violence out? By making everyone sit down at matches and charge them 45 quid for the privilege? FOAD. Seriously!
Those pink Palermo kits are certainly very distinctive. I found it almost impossible to ignore them during the UEFA Cup thrashing of my team West Ham earlier in the season... :-(

Don't worry some of my best friends are Hammer supporters. There's a 12 step program. You end up supporting City or Boro -- proper Northern teams in the end. ;)
