That last Verdi ball loss was possibly the losing moment of this game. Bianchi in absolutely no hurry whatsoever

We're all doomed
I've watched like four matches on Youtube before and 8-5 seems like a pretty high score, I started a few minutes late and most of the game has been people actually moving the ball instead of tentative kickboxing

Article's in italian, but looks like the Bianchi captain, Marino Vieri, has been jumped on by two Verdi on his way to the bus, punched, thrown on the ground and then kicked while down. Seltzer, I vaguely remember one year there was some similar violence outside of the matches, and the whole tournament was suspended then cancelled?

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Is this live?

What I remember from last year:

the Reds are big burly guys who gas fast, like to play real physical and cheat like motherfuckers. Most Likely Team to contain career criminals.

the Blues are a garbage team for garbage people

The city council tried to pass a law banning all players over the age of like 40 or 45, something like that because teams were skewing older and a lot of the roid grandfathers had decades long beefs with eachother stemming from the game and living in the same city. The council also wanted to water down the game a bit. A lot of players, especially Lapi and Verdi threw a fit and threatened to not play, I don't remember if they quit that year and one team got a bye (I think that happened) or not. Either way the council didnt water down the rules but put a cap of like 7 players per team over 40 and everyone compromised. Again this is all foggy secondhand poo poo im remembering right now.
