Calico Storico

[Rook]

Need a sport to get you through the offseason. This is the greatest sport ever. Why hasn't anyone ever informed me of this? I so want to go to Italy now.

Rugby + Fight club + awesome stadium placement - rules = all kinds of awesomeness. Disputes with the refs who are dressed like the Jack of hearts and carry a giant feather instead of a whistle are settled by taking a swing at the refs.

Highlights:

8:30

20min

37min

Calico, mate, calcio.

The Italian word for football and the classic Mitre.

Forgot about this. Mate of mine had a video of it back in 1990 ish, was shocking to see but fascinating. Some tough bastards and some brutal knockouts. A mans game for sure, today's footy players wouldn't last a minute before crying.
