Ah. My mistake.

I believe it is a reference to Zamparini's claim that Italian women have better personal hygiene than English women.

Would you trust Shakhtar to do the honest thing and play out an agreed draw when they have someone like Luiz Adriano playing for them?

Shakhtar Donetsk forward Luiz Adriano has been charged by Uefa for disrespecting Champions League opponent Nordsjaelland by scoring an uncontested goal after a drop ball. Uefa says it opened a disciplinary case against Luiz Adriano for "violation of the principles of conduct" in Tuesday's match...
