Ok now who are the guys in the arming doublets with the ostrich feather hats who are the colour of each team? They occasionally run out and tickle guys with their feathers. Does each team bring its own officials? Why does the green guy seem to only go and pay attention to the green players?

It sounds like you are describing the refs who usually wear an assortment of all four colors EDIT: Or the coaches Mel Mudkiper fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Jun 13, 2019 |

Occasionally you'll see them run out and tickle someone with their hats, and it's always someone the same colour. Could be coaches saying"let that dude up and get back in the game"

CommonShore posted:So... in that gif above buddy is tapping to a strangle... what happens then? Is he eliminated? Does his opponent even need to let him go? This sums up the fighting part the best imo quote:there seems to be a gentleman's agreement not to kick eachother's asses too bad, but I honestly have no real idea and people do get their rear end kicked.

I defer to Seltzer because I have guesses but no actual idea I think my favorite memory of this thread and Calcio is when we were all trying to figure out what was happening when Blue got expelled in 2017

the best part was the lighting caused an optical illusion like that blue-black/white-gold meme, where it was hard to tell whether it was a blue player or white player that kicked the ref, to the point where the commentary team was getting it wrong

I've got some bad news for fellow Verdi fans. I was leafing through the gameday program from the final from last year that lonegoat graciously sent me along with a Rossi bracelet and Verdi t shirt and saw a troubling trend.  Verdi has only won the official tournament once in it's history ffs (once in the unofficial time period as well). That is despite being, by my count, in 11 finals...... The 96 victory was probably during the peak Lapi years which makes sense. quote:19 - Azzurri di Santa Croce I'm pretty sure I saw this list years ago but forgot about it. Never gonna give up hope though. Forza Verdi

Verdi is my favorite team because they seem to treat it the most like a "sport" and have actual identifiable players who can shoot but they always seem to be real poo poo at protecting them What year was it their star scorer got hard tackled in the first five minutes and killed their chances? 2016?

They spend most of their time apparently not watching what's going on, or knowing what's going on. Repeating ad nauseum that we're watching Calcio Fiorentino live from Santa Croce, and when they do actual commentary they just shout "CACCE CACCE CACCE" or they compare guys making runs through an entirely empty/injured field to famous NFL plays. Still, can't wait for this, the greatest event of the year. Time for Bonfi's Bianchis to retake their throne.

Verdi Fan Zone As a life long Verdi fan I welcome all well intentioned newcomers to our tent. Did you know the Greens won the first game of the modern reintroduction of Calcio Storico played in 1930? That's right they did. The Greens are a proud team with a storied history. They have fought to keep the Calcio tradition as pure as possible, protesting occasional attempts to soften the game. They are moral champions that embody the spirit of the sport. Let's take a look at some golden age footage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb4ENoLLLj8 Let the feelings of nostalgia wash over you. (very good video ^) Let's also pay respect to past great Verdi great Gianluca Lapi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLbPy-cgGa0 Verdi coach pre game speech https://streamable.com/v2u9m Tomorrow's match preview with interviews, any snippets of translation are welcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaiE5SqR52c

If the RTV 38 doesn't work for you for some reason, their FB page is also doing a live stream (not guaranteed to be synced with the page, so beware spoilers) Bonus(?): twitch chat like commentary from the fiorentini on the page.
