FIGC blast "offensive" Lega Nord
Tuesday 22 June, 2010

The FIGC reacted angrily after Lega Nord politician Umberto Bossi suggested Italy would “buy” their qualification against Slovakia.

The Azzurri must win Thursday’s game in order to be sure of reaching the second round of the World Cup.

When asked for a prediction on the score, Bossi gave an unexpected reply.

“It doesn’t matter, as they’re going to buy the result anyway. You’ll see that next season in Serie A there will be two or three Slovakian players in the Italian clubs.”

The Lega Nord party are already at the centre of controversy after their radio station ran commentaries of the World Cup games actively cheering on Italy’s opposition.

They believe that the country should be divided into North and South, so the united Azzurri do not 'represent’ them.

“It was a disconcerting and offensive statement,” read a statement released by the FIGC and President Giancarlo Abete.

“This time and in this particular moment, Senator Bossi has gone over the line.”


This article is wonderful in so many ways.
