Dirty Italy at it again

Once again, the Azzurri (‘dirty blues’) have managed to influence a game by bending the rules – let’s face it: cheating. Having already committed the heinous crime of shamelessly diving against our ‘Fair-Go’ Socceroos, the Italian media are now in on the shenanigans.

Star German midfielder, Torsten Frings, has been cruelly punished by FIFA after Sky Italia dobbed him in. Torsty was all set to play in tomorrow’s semi against the dirty Italians, until Sky Italia found footage of a nice left hook by Frings against an aggro Argentinian and handed it into Sepp’s boys.


The sign reads: ‘We’ve cheated before, and we’re only getting better at it.'

That’s why Round Ball Footy declares Sky Italia and the Italy team joint winners of the RBF Dirtiest Team-Effort Award.

(Following Josip Simunic’s previous award of Round Ball Footy Dirtiest Solo-Effort Award. Don’t worry, you can keep that trophy, Josie.)

Congratulations, you dirty bastards, you’ve managed to overshadow the match-fixing scandal that half the Italian World Cup team is involved in … by sinking even lower.


Italy, once again, you are a disgrace. Good luck to those Germans in the Casper the Friendly Ghosts outfits (they of the over-sized team jerseys).

Podolski: German striker or friendly ghost?
