About Giancarlo »

A fan of Fiorentina and Italian football in general as well as Queen of the South and Glasgow Celtic. Outside of soccer, as you call it in the US, I follow golf (but only the majors), tennis (ditto) and Formula One (Ferrari). I also dabble in fantasy sports including baseball, American Football, NHL, NBA and pretty much anything that moves.

    Hey,

    Following up yesterday's great debate is the one I've been waiting to write for a long time, and the one I think may be the best debate yet and a must-read for any football fan! Should video technology be introduced into football? Would doing so take away from the 'magic' that makes the game so great? And would it help or hinder the referees? Have your say in the Great Debate!

    Since all else has failed, I see no reason for the Knicks not to sign Allen Iverson.
