Australian football fans are among the most dedicated in the world, cursed with waking up at ungodly hours to watch the beautiful game.

Having to get up at 3am to watch Serie A, are Calcio fans in Australia the most dedicated of all?
Nice one boys. Love it.
Paul Schiavo was my Italian teacher at school. What a legend!
I remember as a high school kid waking up at 2-3am to watch Roma on some dodgy stream in the mid 2000's. The likes of Totti, De Rossi Aquilani etc gracing the small pixelated computer screen. Highlight of my football life was definitely as a 14yr old seeing Italy win the world cup in 2006!
Great video. I lived in Bologna last year March to May two months. Went to Bologna games at the Del’ Arra. What Bologna is doing is mental. And the stadium is getting a full renovation for the Euro. I’m now a rusted on Bologna fan. Watched games there ans away at the local bars near piazza Maggiore 23/24 city was going nuts as champions league beckoned. What a time to be in Italia mannaia.
In the video I remember Peter Brackley the commentator Stephan Schwarz! 90s Italians seria a tv viewing
90s Opel lotto training gear
I’m a juve fan since 1980 been watching passionately from Sydney since then my question is where is the representation from the most successful club in Italy you can’t have a podcast about calcio without a juve fan
I would love to get involved on a podcast if you're ever in sydney! love to talk about calcio, serie b and my beloved Frosinone 😉
