'A football fan has stolen media attention in Italy after being the only supporter to show up to watch his club play an away game in the top league.

Udinese fan Arrigo Brovedani was the club's sole supporter in Genoa for a Serie A match against local team Sampdoria.

The 30-something wine merchant found himself alone in the visitors' section.

But Sampdoria stewards gave him coffee and home fans invited him for a drink after the match.'

Hats off to Mr Brovedani.

On a sidenote, both Genoa and Udine are beautiful.
Mind you, its Italy, almost everything there is stunning.

Actually ‘soccer’ comes from Association Football and therefore football is the correct term for the sport ;)

Wrong America football uses one foot or hands to manage the ball.. never two feet..
Soccer uses both feet no hands therefore it’s FEETBALL..

Sorry thats just the way “IS”.. but then URPeans like democracy..
Which is Mob Rule by mobsters.. the people rule nothing..
Democracy is a lie, as is Soccer called football as a misnomer..

Socialism is caused by democracy which is the political disease.. that causes it..
Soccer is a lie trying to one up American football.. which is aptly named..

Liberals always try to bogard the “language”.. trumping logic..
Conservatives mainly let them get away with it..

I Do NOT..

Note; actually it was liberals that named conservatives “conservatives” to offset their newly minted handle of “progressive”.. To wit; conservatives were same old same old, and progressives were “forward looking”.. Which also is a lie.. Progressives were and are retrograde.. i.e. (backward looking) in every case.. Conservatives used to be called “liberals” when the meaning of liberal meant something..

URPeans must be watched closely else they may infect your project with retrograde memes.. They are not too swift.. except for the “conservative” ones but there is very few of them.. and some of them are progressive-lite.. sometimes..

** the appropriate WARNING has been ISSUED...
