Italian calcio

Thanks Lucia will check it out

Lucia! That's great...I love Calcio, so this is the right post for me! Does anyone hava a favourite Italian player or team? Well, people surround would say: No way, Forza Napoli! :-)

loved some expressions hard to find on a dictionary such as : "a maggica Roma" - expression commonly used by Roma's team fans.

'A Maggica is also a nickname for AS Roma. Regards - Lucia

Thank you Lingua21. I'm a big football fan - mainly English but I also like to watch the Italian teams too.

LotsLots of useful content on that website, but it was a struggle getting back to write this post from the link. Maybe because of my poor Italian I could not find an equivalent for "who's the wanker in the black?" I looked up chi, arbitro and nero. Maybe Italian crowds are more polite? I doubt that though since little has been done to tackle their hooliganism and vile racism. Kenneth

Hello Kenneth. Although new to this forum I must say that some of the language you use is somewhat inappropriate. I now live in Bristol but have always supported Exeter City and I can assure you that I have never heard words like that at St James' Park. Please remember there are ladies on this forum. Recent posters have included Lisa C, Maggie Mac, Joy, Pixie, Tess, Jenta, Penny, Lollita and Jinty. Do you use words like that at home in front of Barbie?

I'm sure you must have heard chants to that effect at Exeter, I've been to enough games to hear most of them. At AC Milan (my Italian team) there is a chant similar but un-writable on here.

Yes Well weWell when I typed wanker I thought the software would filter it out to save my blushes. It didn't, so it must be ok. So please do share the chants with us. After all, "quanti largo ai bisogno di farre lo goal? I have witnessed horried things at grounds in England, but now I'm over the hill, I fear I may never pluck up courgage to witness a cup of tea being spilt at a stadium in Italy - home of ther beautiful game.

I think half of Old Trafford must have been reading this thread as they did a good rendition of The Referee's a wanker this afternoon. Shame I wasted £45 to hear it.

Great win tonight for AC Milan at Juve. Beckham looks like he is at home playing in Italy! Certainly the quality of football is better than in the U.S.A. along with the Wine, Beer, food, people, countryside etc. That's a whole new thread 'What's better in Italy than America'!!!

"That's a whole new thread 'What's better in Italy than America'!!!" It would be a lot easier [shorter/quicker] to list 'What's better in America than Italy'!!!

Alan, you are so right!!!

Hello guys :) It's nice to see that you are all so passionate about football (calcio, soccer) :)))))I am as well!!! I was wondering if there is anyone who would like to stay in touch and discuss about football.. in English or in Italian, about the Russia 2018 World Cup, Serie A, Premier League, tactics, transfer markets etc.. I would really like that and in the meantime we can make friends :)))))
