    All Italian Football Cancelled

    Pretty extreme stuff going on.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6326513.stm

    Italian Football Federation commissioner Luca Pancalli has cancelled all professional and amateur football in Italy, including internationals, indefinitely after a week of escalating violence left a policeman dead in Sicily.

    As an Italian, raised on the East Coast, I can tell you that this is not the first, nor will it be the last, policeman killed violently in Sicily...

    Isn't Italian futbal full or corruption? I thought I heard something about a possible cancellation over that.

    It's not really about Sicily, it's all of Italy, this was just the last straw.

    I'm sure there is corruption in Italian football (it's Italian isn't it?) but the cancellation came immediately after the death of a policeman in fighting between groups of football 'fans'.
