Inter vs Juventus 1998


Inter Milan vs Juventus in 1997-1998 was very controversial

A heated match between Juventus and Inter Milan during the 1997-98 season left not only football fans, but also politicians, in uproar.

Tensions ran high after Juventus was denied a penalty, leading to a 0-0 draw and a subsequent 1-0 victory for Inter Milan. However, the controversy reached its peak during the match when referee Piero Ceccarini opted not to award a penalty for a foul committed by Juventus' Mark Iuliano on Inter forward Ronaldo.

Adding fuel to the fire, Juventus, leading 1-0 at the time, was eventually granted a penalty just moments later. However, Alessandro Del Piero failed to convert it. Despite this, Juventus clinched the game with a 1-0 victory, securing the scudetto with a five-point lead.

The aftermath of the match spilled into the political arena, causing a stir in the Italian parliament. During a publicly broadcast "question time" session in April 1998, Domenico Gramazio of the National Alliance erupted, reportedly shouting "They are all thieves!" at Massimo Mauro, a fellow politician and former Juventus player representing the ruling Democrats of the Left.

The spectacle prompted outrage from Walter Veltroni, then-Deputy Prime Minister, who denounced the behavior as "unworthy, embarrassing, and grotesque." The session had to be abruptly suspended, and repercussions followed for several politicians involved.

The incident highlighted the deep intertwining of football and politics in Italian society, where the passion for the sport often spills over into other aspects of public life, sometimes with tumultuous consequences.

Francesco Totti: the symbol of loyalty


Roma's iconic player Francesco Totti revealed that he contemplated leaving the Italian capital's team solely for a move to Real Madrid in Spain.

Totti, as reported by the Spanish news agency, stated, "There were moments when I considered departing. It was a season after our Serie A victory, and I was on the verge of joining Madrid. Indeed, I would have bid farewell to Roma solely for Madrid's sake."

He further explained, "Ultimately, my family wasn't supportive of my move to Real Madrid, so I chose to remain in Roma."

Roberto Carlos free kick



When it comes to free kicks, Roberto Carlos was in a league of his own. 🔥 Rewind to 1997 when he stunned the world with his impossible curler against France, where he kicked the ball from a distance of 41 meters, with a speed of 136km/h and an impressive curve that went around the entire defense.

The World Cup: Heroes and beautiful moments



What makes the World Cup different from any tournament? 

For me I started to watch football in 1990 during Italia 90, believing in Diego Maradona, amazed by Roger Milla's celebration and watching Lothar Matthäus lifting the trophy. 
I felt in love with Italy after seeing Roberto Baggio's skill, style and his boney tail. I forgave his penalty miss in the 1994 World Cup, he is Baggio at the end. Bebeto's celebration and tribute to his baby was unforgettable. Saeed Al-Owairan goal on Belgium gave the Arab world a moment of that they create do miracles too.  
All of these colorful moments continued tournament after tournament. Zidane and Ronaldo were at the top of the world and heroes of a new era. Iniesta's goal at the 2010 final was a big moment for Spain's history, and i have witnessed Klose marking himself as all time world cup top scorer. While Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo I'm preparing myself to see their last dance. Mbappe represent the future for me.

As a fan of course I read and watched moments that happened while i wasn't born from other legends. Pele, Moore, Beckenbauer, Muller, Cruyff, Rossi, Tardelli and much more.
