T.G.I.F. – Thank God It’s Friday…

Every Friday I want to write a post in English in order to create a discussion with people all over the world. First of all I ask everybody to excuse me if my English is not perfect…
This week in Italy we spoke only about Soccer: not about a soccer match, but for the violence around soccer.
One week ago, during the match “Catania-Palermo”, an Italian policeman died, killed by the supporter of one of the two teams. A supporter? We have to call him with his real name: killer!
This is an announced tragedy… In Italy a lot of supporters used to go to stadium not to see the match but to insult and fight against policemen and other supporters.
I like to know several things from “the world”: in your country the situation is similar to Italian reality? But principally: why is soccer, or any other sport, so important? It’s a joke a moment of funny…
In these days we can hear words like that: "I don't recognise myself in this world anymore. I have loved football intensely but after this right now it seems absurd."
Many countries are looking at the way of building stadiums, security, seating and ticketing arrangements used in England. In Italy can we use the English organization? I think we have two different culture and state of mind…In Italy we have to change a lot of things around soccer: journalists, sport-tv, sponsors and people…and we must give less importance to a game!!
