Che storia figata, ragazzo!



I was distracted by work so will watch it again later, but what I managed to watch was excellent. I put it on the projector here at the office and everyone was into it so I might have created a dozen new calcio storico fans today

Here's my very late wrap up, pictures and links below.


Well they've done it, the Bianchi have won again. While the final vs the Azzurri was not the attacking masterclass like the semifinal vs the Verdi, the final saw plenty of action and offense; an excellent mix of scoring and brawling. The Whites looked in control for most of the match and were generally leading anywhere from 2 to 3 points for most of the game. Their shooting was better than the Blues and they thought coasting to an early lead would soften the pressure. Despite dropping behind multiple points the Blues once again showed their unbreakable spirit and their willingness to risk their well being for any attempt on goal. By the end the Whites were laboring and had racked up a few expulsions and Blue was able to capitalize. After closing the points gap to within .5 points the Blues had the ball with one minute left score but they hesitated and in attempting to try and get close they ran out the clock and blew their chance at winning the game. Final score 6.5 to 6 Bianchi.


Lets take a look at some of the action in the finals





Classic sloppy Azzuri offense


Flying kicks


Keep your hands up at all times even in Calcio Storico


Bianchi insulting the Blues with a dunk


A great Azzurri run in the last few minutes to put the game in .5 pts reach.




Calcio Storico viewership is up. Feels great to be on the ground floor of the success of the world's greatest sport.

This game is wonderful and incredible and I am slightly annoyed that I haven't heard about it until this year.
