21st Century Fox Posted 3 December 2013 Share Posted 3 December 2013 Juventus have been fined after a decision to allow schoolchildren to use seats usually occupied by hardcore fans banned for discriminatory chanting backfired. The Serie A club let 12,200 children sit at both ends of their stadium for Sunday's match against Udinese but the children behaved little better than the ultras and Juve were fined €5,000 (£4,200) after they shouted abuse at the Udinese keeper Zeljko Brkic every time he took a goal-kick. "Juventus were fined after their (very, very young) supporters repeatedly aimed an insulting chant at a player from the opposing team," Serie A's disciplinary panel said in a statement. The children were copying a popular ritual in Italian stadiums where the visiting goalkeeper is insulted whenever he takes a goal-kick. "I wanted to say something right after the game because it bothered me but I didn't want to put any oil on the fire and I decided to stay quiet," the Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin told Italian media. "For a club such as Juventus where everything is beautiful, in particular where the stadium gives you the idea that you are not in Italy, it is really troublesome to hear those words every time the goalkeeper puts the ball into play."

Finnegan Posted 3 December 2013 Share Posted 3 December 2013 I realised yesterday why you watch so much Serie A, I watched most of both games. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean the thirteen goals, I mean the fact the camera-men love nothing more than finding talent in the crowd. Phwoar.

Ronaldo, 28, is currently on the three-man shortlist to be named the Ballon d'Or winner for a second time. Ronaldo's honour roll 2008 Ballon d'Or winner Three Premier League titles One Champions League One Copa del Rey One La Liga title Two Golden Boot awards "It's a special day, I don't want to mention specific ones" he said. "All I want is to win more and if the Ballon d'Or comes, there is extra room here." The museum in his native Madeira exhibits more than 125 awards. Ronaldo won the prestigious 2008 Ballon d'Or title, formerly known as the Fifa World Player of the year title, while with Manchester United. Before his six-year spell at Old Trafford ended with a then-world record £80m transfer to Real Madrid in 2009, he won three Premier Leagues, one Champions League, one FA Cup, two League Cups and one Fifa Club World Cup. His success has continued in Spain, where he won the Copa del Rey in 2010-11 and La Liga in 2011-12 under now Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho. The Portugal international opened his museum, which occupies the ground floor of a five-storey building, in front of a frenzy of reporters and fans. "Here is the evidence of what I have won, no one will take it away from here and these were things I wanted to share with my fans, show them what I have already achieved," he said speaking from the island which is approximately 250 miles off the southern coast of Portugal. The first piece on display dates back to when Ronaldo was eight and top-scored in a tournament with his boyhood club Andorinha. It also contains mementos from his senior playing career, including two Golden Boot awards won for being European football's top scorer. Ronaldo is competing with Barcelona forward Lionel Messi and Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery to be named the 2013 Ballon d'Or recipient, with the winner to be revealed at a ceremony in Zurich on 13 January.

I'm sure they don't have any scouts, they just use Dortmund's. No doubt Dortmund will have a decent youngster lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 8 January 2014 Share Posted 8 January 2014 My local team has signed Johan Vonlanthen, the youngest player ever to score at a European Championship, on a loan basis until the end of the season. Hope he'll regain his form from six or seven years ago - guy's got talent, but wasted it. Being part of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church didn't help him, either.
