this is getting beyond a joke, for me and Wally might disagree, italian football needs some serious surgery, the national team should be banned from competing in tournaments, and clubs banned from the champs league and uefa cup, fifa and uefa need to act and come down hard on them, there is no point hoping they will sort out there deep problems, fifa need to do this for them and clean up the game there.
But then again fifa are corrupt themselves, so its like asking a thief to convince another to stop thieving.

Beyond Pellicori... Football Italia 'Devastating' allegations on Genoa derby By Football Italia staff Investigators into the betting scandal claim they know things about the Genoa derby in May 2011 that “will have a devastating effect” on football. This is part of the same investigation that saw ex-Genoa man Omar Milanetto and current Lazio captain Stefano Mauri arrested last week. It is now believed a great deal of the investigation is focused on Genoa’s last-gasp 2-1 win over arch rivals Sampdoria on May 8 2011. “Milanetto was involved in that derby and it’ll be the worst thing we’ve seen in this investigation,” said public prosecutor Roberto Di Martino. “We know things that will have a devastating effect.” The match ended 2-1 with Mauro Boselli’s goal at the 96th minute, but more importantly that result had a huge impact in sending Sampdoria down to Serie B. www.football-italia.net/19675/devastating-allegations-genoa-derby |

Italy hands out point deductions and five-year bans to match-fixers.www.insideworldfootball.biz/worldfootball/europe/10977-italy-hands-out-point-deductions-and-five-year-bans-to-match-fixers Wednesday, 20 June 2012 By Andrew Warshaw June 20 - Italy may have progressed to the last eight of the 2012 European Championship but off the field the image of the game has taken another damaging blow after the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) announced it had upheld newly promoted Pescara's two-point deduction and banned four players for five years over the country's match-fixing scandal. Piacenza's Mario Cassano (pictured above), Ravenna's Alessandro Zamperini and former professionals Luigi Sartor and Nicola Santoni all received the bans, however, Novara, who were relegated to Serie B last season, will start next term with a four-point deduction instead of the six originally imposed. Other punishments handed out include a two-point deduction for Serie B side Padova, one point for Empoli and four for Reggina, while third-tier AlbinoLeffe received a 15-point deduction and Piacenza were deducted 11. Serie A sides Sampdoria and Siena were handed €50,000 (£40,400/$63,500) fines for alleged collusion when they were both in Serie B. In all, the latest wave of punishments has cracked down on 21 clubs and 52 players for their roles in a scandal that has shared top headline billing in the country alongside the national team's displays in Poland and Ukraine. Pescara President Daniele Sebastiani said his club, who were Serie B champions last season before losing their coach Zdeněk Zeman to Roma, would fight the ban. "We didn't expect this decision, rather we expected to be acquitted," Sebastiani (pictured above) said. "Evidently in this first phase of the investigation the sporting judges wanted to give strength to the prosecution's version of events. "We have absolutely nothing to do with any of this, and we will go, if we need to, all the way to CONI (the Italian Olympic Committee)." Former Inter Milan forward Nicola Ventola, who retired last year, was given a three-and-a-half-year ban by the federation. Italian football was still coming to terms with the 2006 'Calciopoli' scandal when the latest affair exploded last June. Former Lazio striker Giuseppe Signori (pictured above) has been banned from all football activities for five years and others embroiled in the scandal include Lazio's Stefano Mauri and ex-international midfielder Cristiano Doni, while a number of second, third and fourth-tier matches are suspected of being rigged. The affair has also implicated Juventus coach Antonio Conte, who has just guided his team to the Serie A title, but he denies any allegations linking him to the scandal during his time with Siena. Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti even suggested recently that football be suspended for up to three years in the country to help eradicate match-fixing.

Love the bit about Italy winning the World Cup because the pressure over bribes caused the players to raise their game.
Raised their GAME, my arse. Raised their offer more like.
Or did the prospect of the biggest prize in world football make them suddenly go straight?
Playing England probably will. They hardly need to bribe us to blow it! ;D
Looking forward to that one enormously, I have to say. I recall Stan Bowles saying that when he played against them, one Gentile - his 'marker' in every sense of the word - told him 'you, not bad'.
Probably meant 'for an Englishman'. Hey, this guy can actually PLAY. Thought you lot just did headers.
Maradona remembers Gentile. All over.

Recall he moved very slowly for a striker. Maybe the wads of money inside his socks?
