It’s hard to believe that our magazine is already in its third year. Yet here it is! This has been a wonderful collaborative effort by so many people who have contributed both ideas for sections and time to edit and proof-read for us. You know who you are and we thank you for all your help!

Also exciting is that the tenth anniversary of our Club is coming up in 2012! We salute all the members of both the present and the past who have helped to shape the future of our Club.

We are so glad to finally be publishing another issue of zeb! Even more wonderful is that Juventus is ahead in the standings. My professor (an Arsenal fan!) always asks me how Juve is doing, and its feels to good to tell him we're number one. I was recently back in Canada for Thanksgiving, and it was great to be able to watch soccer again with my family. It brought back memories of waking up on Sunday morning to gather around the television and watch Juventus play. Soccer is certainly more than just entertainment and sport-- it's a ritual that brings people together. I'm wishing you all a wonderful holiday season with your families. And, of course, with Juventus. Forza Juve!

Finally, the beginning of the season is upon us and we at zeb are excited about the promise and hope that our new Juventus shows. If the players could only feel our support, they would surely fly across the field.

THIS IS A BILINGUAL MAGAZINE You can write to us in any language with your comments, suggestions and submissions. Noi pubblicheremo le vostre opinioni sia in italiano che in inglese. This magazine is for you so we are committed to making you comfortable to write in whatever language is easiest for you. Cosí partecipate alla nostra iniziativa e fateci sapere cosa pensate del nostro giornalino.

LOOKING FORWARD It is time once again for the Club’s Annual General Meeting. It is important that all members attend as this is the time where we review what we have accomplished in the past year and what we have planned for the year to come. The Board of Directors three year term has come to an end and the Club will be looking for nominations from among its members to create a new Board to go forward for the next three years.

In 2012 the Juventus Club DOC Toronto will celebrate its Ten Year Anniversary! Yes, it’s true! Our Club has been around for 10 years, the longest of any incarnation of a Juventus Club in Canada. This is something that all our members should be proud of! Congratulations everyone!

NEW HORIZONS Regrettably, the Juventus Club DOC Toronto announces the resignation of Board Member Vince Carlucci as Club Treasurer. Our loyal friend, like many, has found that grandparenting is a full-time job and we wish him many wonderful times together with his grandchildren.

What you think is very important to us.

ANNOUNCMENTS The Juventus Club DOC Toronto congratulates Mario and Tanya Riossi on the arrival of their bundle of joy Nicholas Antonio. We can’t wait for him to yell out his first “Forza Juve!”

We also couldn’t be happier for Club VicePresident, Tony Ciamarra, who welcomes grandson Domenic Joseph Meffe. It’s never too early to start instilling a little juventinità in him!

Congratulations to Adriana and Donato Corbo who have become grandparents.

They welcome their granddaughter Victoria with open arms and a bounty of hugs as she is their first.

The Juventus Club DOC Toronto lost a beloved member of its family.

A true gentleman and a loyal member of our Club, we treasure the memories we have of this gentle soul and forever hold him in our hearts.

GINO VENTRESCA, born in Torre dei Nolfi (Aquila) Italy on October 6, 1925, passed away on August 25, 2011 at Humber River Regional Hospital. He is survived by his loving wife of 56 years Giovanna. Immigrating to Canada in 1949 he quickly established himself as a leader in the ItaloCanadian community.

His passion for life was reflected in his business, as founder of Ventresca Travel Agency, where he pioneered group travel to Mexico and became affectionately known as “Mr. Acapulco.” He co-founded and was President of Alba Tours for many years, where his proudest accomplishment was being instrumental in bringing the first flight from Toronto to Pescara, his beloved region of

Abruzzo. As founder and President of the Associazione Conca di Sulmona, he proudly maintained the culture and traditions of his Abruzzese roots.

His love for the game of soccer manifested itself in the early 1960s and again in the early 1970s when he was president of the Toronto Italia Soccer Club, where winning and doing so with class was a reflection of how he conducted himself in his everyday life. A life long fan of Juventus, Gino anxiously awaited every Sunday to watch Juventus play. He was also one of the founding members of what is now the Juventus Club DOC Toronto and even served as the Club’s Honorary Present for many years.

His love and respect for family and friends will always remain in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him.

October 6, 1925—August 25, 2011

Who would have thought that just under ten years ago, when the founding members of this Club sat together and planted the seed that would eventually grow into the Juventus Club DOC Toronto, that this Club would continue to endure so many years later. Our Club is the longest incarnation ever of any Juventus Club in Toronto. That is so exciting on so many levels, not the

least of which is the knowledge that the passion and support of all our members throughout the years has manifested itself in the recognition that we juventini can endure. Our anniversary will afford us the opportunity to celebrate our spirit, our style, and that special “something” that makes us juventini unique.

The soccer season is starting once again which means that it is also time for membership renewals.

Remember, the Club is here for you, so feel free to You can contact us by e-mail at speak to one juvemaga@yahoo.ca of the Board or by phone at (905) 856-0929 Members re-

garding init i a t i v e s you’d like to see or participate in.

Your feedback is always appreciated.

On behalf of the Juventus Club DOC Toronto, I send out a special heartfelt thank you to Gino Ventresca, founding member, gentleman extraordinaire with the heart of gold. We will miss him and will always treasure the memories that his contributions helped to create, within the Club, the Italian community and the world at large.

Nuova stagione.

Nuovi impulsi.

Nuovi stimuli.

Nuovi obiettivi.

E' vitale aspirare, con concretezza, ad un traguardo desiderabile‌.

Possano l'orgoglio e la classe juventina essere vostra fonte d' ispirazione, durante la prossima stagione.

Amatissima Juve, "La tua gloria non sta nel non cadere mai, ma nel risollevarti dopo ogni caduta."

Sento che la stagione 2011-2012 sara' l'anno della svolta. Dal prossimo campionato ci aspettiamo una Juve piu' giovane, pimpante e volenterosa di vincere.

Spero che in panchina regni la voglia di riscatto, dopo un anno da dimenticare...Il "Mister", son sicuro, vorra' dalla panchina la stessa grinta con cui egli giocava e questo non puo' che dare nuovi stimoli.

I dirigenti stanno facendo la loro parte: eliminando "vecchi" appagati di successi e nient 'altro da offrire.

Forza Juve sento odore di vittorie, basta mettercela tutta...

In bocca al lupo!!!

Forza "Signora" mia!

June 5, 2011 The Juventus Club DOC Toronto hosted another one of its Annual summer picnics.

The event, held at Doctors Maclean Park in Woodbridge, brought members young and….older out to have some fun in the sunshine and munch on some wonderful food.

If you weren’t there, you missed out!

Faces were all smiling and sun-kissed the weekend of our Annual Picnic. It may have been the porchetta, or it could have been the Trivia Contest, the old friends we talked to or the new friends we made. Whatever the reason, everyone had fun and we can’t wait to do it again next year!

September 8, 2011 marked the inauguration of Juventus’ groundbreaking new stadium, an evening punctuated by the passionate and emotional words of club president Andrea Agnelli as he addressed the crowd.

All seats were full on this historic night as fans gathered to celebrate not only the opening of the stadium but the great spirit that unites them as well.

The first stadium of its kind in Italy, privately owned by a club, seats 41,000 people. The hope is that the new home ground will revolutionize the match-day experience for the fans and encourage them to come out to support their team in greater numbers.

this one, with lines that don't lie because the pitch always tells the truth."

The team rejoiced with a 1-1 draw against Notts County during a night full of spirited celebration.

"Welcome home! We're tens of millions around the world, millions in Italy and hundreds of thousands in the city."

The spectacular night began with a 114 second countdown, each second denoting the number of years that Juventus has been in existence since its formation in 1897.

President Agnelli, whose family have a long history with the club, spoke words of encouragement to those who filled the rafters. "Welcome home!” he said.

“We're tens of millions around the world, millions in Italy and hundreds of thousands in the city."

"We're a people who know how to enjoy ourselves, how to suffer, to grit our teeth, we're the people of Juve. We're people who recognize and know how to accept results achieved on a green pitch such as 14

zeb 3.1–3.2

The English side was picked as a symbol of its link to the bianconeri’s history. Notts County, founded in 1862, is the oldest professsional soccer club in the world. Back in 1903, a Juventus player, Englishman

John Savage, helped to arrange for the Italian club to wear the Notts’ black and white stripes, instead of the pink shirts that they had worn until then.

The team also took the opportunity to remember the thirtynine victims of the Heysel Stadium disaster as well as former Juventus legend Gaetano Scirea.

Probably the most wonderous spectacle of the evening was the appearance of the bench on which sat the students who founded the club, which was lowered from the sky. Better still was that, upon that bench sat the two greatest goalscorers in Juve’s history: Giampiero Boniperti and Alessandro Del Piero.

"I'm here after 67 years to give you all a hug. Winning isn't important, it's the only thing that counts," said 83year-old Boniperti. He held the record as Juventus’ greatest goalscorer for 50 years until current club captain Alessandro Del Piero overtook him.

"I'm delighted to have contributed to writing a part of the 114 years of history, of fantastic pages and memories," said Del Piero before the fireworks began.

NEW COACH: Antonio Conte

Juventus has announced the signing of a three-year contract with Michele Pazienza. The combative midfielder looks to impress new Coach Anotnio Conte and catch the eye of Italian National Team Coach Cesare Prandelli.

He told Juventus Channel: "I am happy to have this new challenge. I want to show that I belong at this big club." When asked about the Italian Team, he added: "Prandelli has said he will choose who plays based on continuity. So my aim is to find a place at Juventus, then I will think about the rest."

New addition Andrea Pirlo also looks to add balance to the team. He has an ability to switch play effortlessly and influence the flow of the game from the beginning to the end, which adds to the base of the midfield which will be key to Juve’s quick adaptation to Conte’s 4-24 system.

Juventus’ signings reinforces its problematic positions on the flanks as well as adds new options in midfield and attack, giving the club a number of reasons to feel positive about its upcoming season. zeb 3.1-3.2

in italiano What could be better than La Grande Signora coming to Toronto for a second year in a row? The Herbalife Football Challenge made it happen, scheduling a friendly between Juventus and Sporting Lisbon of Portugal. The Toronto fans could not have been happier.

The team, complete with newly acquired players, readily spoke with us about the future of the team this year and what their hopes for the new season are.

New team Coach Antonio Conte and goalie Gigi Buffon were on hand for the pre-practice Press Conference on July 22, 2011

A VOLO La domanda: Alex, ti rendi conto com’e importante la tua presenza qui in Canada, non solo per gli juventini ma anche come embasciatore dell’Italia per gli Italiani fuori dall’Italia?

La risposta: É una cosa che ci fa molto felici, sapendo anche che facciamo felici gli altri ed é una cosa che facciamo volentieri e lo continueremo a fare.

Conte: Come ho detto anche ai giornalisti italiani, il modo non é relativo perché alla fine sono tutti solo numeri. Dipende molto dall'interpretazione che dà l'allenatore, che dà la squadra. Un 4-2-4, 10 metri in più, 10 metri indietro, non é che cambi assolutamente niente. É l'interretazione che si dà .

Stampa: Molte squarde, diciamo le top 5 della Serie A, si stanno rinforzando molto nel mercato. Voi e la Juve a che punto state in questo rinforzamento della squadra?

Chiaramente siamo solo all'inizio e abbiamo sia io come giocatore e il Mister, prima come giocatore, adesso come coach, tanta esperienza per saper arrivare agli obbiettivi importanti e arrivare a questa costanza, di saper superare degli ostacoli. La volia di non mollare ci deve accompagnare per un anno intero e non solo per i primi due o tre mesi di questo progetto.

Se troveremo questa continuità potremo sicurmente ritornare una squadra importante.

in italiano

Stampa: I giornalisti italiani parlano di questo nuovo progetto, questo 4-2-4, questa nuova formazione, un nuovo modo di interpretare la gara. Una parola su questo nuovo modulo tattico della squadra?

Conte: Adesso stiamo lavorando con gli effettivi che abbiamo a disposizine. In questo momento quei giocatori che ho a disposizione con me sono quelli che io considero del futuro. Inevitabile che cerchiamo sul mercato di potenziarci, di colmare delle lacune e cosi man mano come passa il tempo mi rendo conto che la Juventus ha sicuramente dei campioni in squadra Conte: Delle situazioni di mercato e cercheremo di rinforzarci ancora di parlo raramente con la società . più.

Conte:É un giocatore completo. É un centrocampista molto dinamico.

Ha segnato dieci gol la scorsa stagione col Bayer Leverkusen. Sicuramente un elemento che viene per darci una mano.

Stampa: Come'` la tua schiena adesso dopo i mondiali?

Buffon: Mi sono operato un anno fa proprio per guarire da questa ernia, da questo problema che un pochino aveva condizionato le mie ultime due o tre stagioni perché non mi permetteva di allenarmi in una maniera continua.

Adesso da quando sono rientrato sono passati sette mesi e non ho mai avuto nessun problema.

Adesso vuole dire che l'operazione ha dato degli ottimi risultati.

The Herbalife World Football Challenge brought many teams to play across North America, including Manchester United and Barcelona. We could not let the opportunity go by without thanking those who brought these teams to us this past summer, and continuing to believe that there is a place for soccer all around the world.

Spanish mega-team Barcelona played games all across the US during the summer, even bringing out spectators such as Paolo Maldini.

in italiano

Il nostro corrispondente estero, Francesco Mastrorizzi, ci dà notizie sui giocatori che hanno lasciato la nostra squadra ma non i nostri cuori

Totò Schillaci e il mondo dello spettacolo Salvatore Schillaci nasce in un quartiere povero di Palermo il 1° dicembre del 1964. Il calcio è la sua

passione e, dopo un campionato nella categoria dilettanti, approda al Messina, dove gioca sette campionati dal 1982 al 1989 tra serie B e serie C. Nella stagione 1988-89 si laurea capocannoniere della serie cadetta con 23 gol e questo gli permette di essere ingaggiato dalla Juventus.

Il suo esordio in serie A avviene il 27 agosto 1989. Da quel momento inizia la favola di “Totò”, che realizza il sogno di quando era bambino: giocare nella squadra per la quale ha sempre fatto il tifo. Il primo anno, da titolare al fianco di Casiraghi e Rui Barros, fa faville. Realizza, infatti, 15 gol in 30 partite di campionato e contribuisce in maniera decisiva al

successo dei bianconeri in Coppa Italia e in Coppa Uefa. Si conquista così un posto nel cuore dei tifosi bianconeri, che lo accostano ad un altro vecchio idolo venuto dalla Sicilia, Pietro Anastasi.

Il suo momento di maggior fortuna è con la Nazionale di Vicini nei mondiali casalinghi del 1990. Parte in panchina come riserva di Vialli e Carnevale, ma appena entra in campo è un’esplosione. I suoi occhi spiritati in quel mondiale che ci vide al terzo posto sono entrati nella storia del calcio e del costume italiano. Le “notti magiche” di Italia ‘90 hanno esaltato e stravolto la sua vita. Trascinatore di un’intera nazione, vive il Mondiale con un’intensità impressionante, raggiungendo livelli di popolarità da psicosi.

A Mondiale finito, è completamente svuotato e paga in prima persona tutto il clamore suscitato. Infatti, alle largamente preventivabili difficoltà della stagione successiva, i media, la critica ed i tifosi gli presentano il conto.

Schillaci gioca ancora due stagioni a Torino, ma mostra una crescente tendenza a sbagliare sottoporta, segnando pochissimo, finché non viene ceduto all’Inter, prima di concludere la sua carriera in Giappone.

Si ritira dall'agonismo nel 1999, dopo un lungo infortunio che lo tiene lontano dai campi di gioco già dal 1997, anno della vittoria in J-League.

Dal 2000 gestisce a Palermo il centro sportivo per ragazzi “Louis Ribolla” ed è proprietario dell'U.S. Palermo, squadra che negli anni ha militato nelle categorie calcistiche regionali.

Nel 2004 cerca di affermarsi nel mondo dello spettacolo, accettando di partecipare come concorrente alla trasmissione “L’isola dei famosi”, versione italiana del

reality show americano “Celebrity Survivor”, in cui un gruppo di concorrenti VIP deve riuscire a sopravvivere su un'isola deserta senza alcun tipo di comodità.

Schillaci si fa notare per la propria genuinità, ma anche per il basso livello culturale. Il pubblico però lo premia, facendolo arrivare tra i tre finalisti.

Nel 2010 si lancia anche nella fiction, con un piccolo ruolo nella serie “Squadra antimafia - Palermo oggi”.

Schillaci interpreta il ruolo di un boss mafioso, ma compare soltanto in un paio di scene, nella seconda delle q ua l i vi en e uc c i s o . I n t a nt o, nell’attesa, forse vana, che la sua carriera da attore spicchi il volo, continua a trasmettere ai calciatori in erba di Palermo la sua grande passione per il calcio, che per lui ha sempre significato una sola cosa: fare gol.

SIDE KICK: "Failure seldom stops you.

What stops you is the fear of failure.”

Momenti storici della nostra Vecchia Signora

Top 10 Vittorie Contro l’Inter resto della partita dominiamo. Solo nel finale lasciamo qualche occasione all’Inter, che le sbaglia clamorosamente.

10) 23 aprile 1972, Juventus-Inter 3-0: Il Barone Causio stende l’Inter campione d’Italia con una tripletta ed una prestazione memorabile.

Partita fondamentale per la successiva vittoria dello scudetto, perché nella stessa giornata il Torino, rivale per il titolo, perde con il Milan.

9) 14 aprile 2001, Juventus-Inter 3-1: Partita senza storia, la Juve schiera il trio d’attacco Zidane, Del Piero e Inzaghi. Nell’Inter gioca qualche scampolo di partita persino Ferrante. I tre gol vengono realizzati nell’arco di 12 minuti, dal 6° al 18° del secondo tempo. A segnare Tacchinardi, Inzaghi e Del Piero. Per l’Inter Vieri su rigore.

8) 13 febbraio 2011, Juventus-Inter 10: Olimpico di Torino tutto esaurito, sulla panchina bianconera siede Del Neri. Alessandro Matri, da poco arrivato a Torino, castiga la squadra di Leonardo con uno splendido colpo di testa nel primo tempo. Per il 30

zeb 3.1–3.2

7) 20 ottobre 1996, Juventus- Inter 20: L’Inter è in testa al campionato, ma la Juve vince il derby d’Italia e la supera. Partita a senso unico, con continui attacchi dei bianconeri. Il palo di Boksic prelude al gol di Jugovic. I tifosi interisti sono nervosi, ma il capolavoro di Zidane da fuori area li mette a tacere. Ferrara trova ancora il tempo per colpire la traversa.

6) 5 dicembre 2009, Juventus-Inter 21: Una delle poche buone partite con Ferrara allenatore.

Un rocambolesco colpo di testa di Melo sorprende Julio Cesar e manda su tutte le furie Mourinho, che viene espulso. Pareggia Eto’o dopo poco, ma nel secondo tempo Marchisio con uno splendido controllo di palla e un pallonetto regala la vittoria alla Juve.

5) 22 marzo 2008, Inter-Juventus 1-2: È la prima stagione dopo il ritorno in serie A. All’andata finisce 1 a 1. A San Siro tutti i gol nel secondo tempo. Camoranesi in fuorigioco porta in vantaggio la Juve, poi Trezeguet raddoppia di testa. Troppi nostri errori non ci permettono una vittoria più schiacciante e sul finale l’Inter segna e spera nella rimonta.

Ma la Juve tiene duro e porta a casa una grande vittoria.

4) 28 ottobre 1990, Juventus-Inter 4-2: Anche Maifredi riuscì a battere l’Inter. La Juve fa la partita con un gioco spettacolare, che fa impazzire il Delle Alpi. Vantaggio di Baggio su rigore, raddoppio di Casiraghi di testa e siamo ancora al 15°.

Matthäus accorcia, ma Schillaci nel secondo tempo segna il terzo gol.

Poi la Juve dilaga con De Agostini.

Non serve a niente il gol del centravanti nerazzurro Klinsmann.

3) 2 marzo 2003, Juventus-Inter 3-0: Strapotere della Juve di Lippi grazie al gioco di squadra, mentre l’Inter risponde con sterili individualismi.

Tanti svarioni difensivi per i milanesi, a partire dall’autogol che ci regala il vantaggio. Segue uno splendido gol da fuori area di Nedved, che aveva appena chiesto di uscire per problemi alla schiena. Del ceco è anche l’assist per il 3 a 0 di Camoranesi sul finale.

2) 2 ottobre 2005, Juventus-Inter 2-0: Nell’anno dello scudetto a tavolino l’Inter di Mancini ottiene 0 punti negli scontri diretti con la Juve di Capello.

All’andata perentorio 2 a 0 con entrambi i gol nel primo tempo.

Prima Trezeguet sugli sviluppi di una punizione di Ibrahimovic, poi Nedved direttamente da calcio piazzato. L’Inter punta tutto sul gioco falloso, ma serve solo a far uscire Ibra dal campo anzitempo.

1) 12 febbraio 2006, Inter-Juventus 12: A inizio gara l’Inter in attacco presenta la coppia Adriano-Martins, la Juve Trezeguet e Ibrahimovic.

Ritmo alto sin dal fischio d’inizio e tante occasioni da entrambe le parti. Gol giustamente annullato all’Inter nel primo tempo. Violento fallo di Samuel su Ibra pochi minuti dopo che lo svedese ha segnato il gol del vantaggio. L’argentino viene soltanto ammonito e poi segna il pareggio. Ci pensa Del Piero con un calcio di punizione perfetto a chiudere la partita e anche il campionato. Inter a -12 e scudetto in tasca con tre mesi di anticipo.

Flashpoint, CTV’s Canadian police drama series which airs on Friday’s at 9 p.m., is one of my favourite television shows. So imagine my surprise when I settle in for the hour on August 19 and one minute into the episode Spike (Sergio Di Zio) is sitting next to his father’s hospital bed, updating him on Juve’s “dark days.”

“Three losses in a row. Too much “old” in the “Old Lady.””

I won’t spoil the episode (“Shockwave” Season 7 Episode 4) for those who’ve not seen it or want to watch it.

It’s a touching moment between father and son and excellent set up for the episode’s, and season’s, personal sacrifice theme. Check out CTV.ca for the full episode.

How Juve Got Its Nicknames During its history, the club has acquired a number of nicknames, la Vecchia Signora (the Old Lady) being the best example. The "old" part of the nickname is a pun on Juventus which means "youth" in Latin.

It was derived from the age of the Juventus' star players towards the middle of 1930s.

The "lady" part of the nickname is what fans of the club referred to it as affectionately prior to the 1930s. The club is also nicknamed la Fidanzata d'Italia (the Girlfriend of Italy), because over the years they have received a high level of support from Southern Italian immigrant workers (particularly from Naples and Palermo), who arrived in Turin to work for Fiat since the 1930s.

Other nicknames include; i bianconeri (the black-andwhites) and le zebre (the zebras) in reference to Juventus' colors and i gobbi (the hunchbacks), because "old ladies" usually have hunched backs.

Matthew Sinikivi, one of the Caledon Canadians who traveled to Italy, thanks in part to the sponsorship of the Juventus Club DOC Toronto, tells us about his experience on his memorable trip

On Friday April 15, 2011, I was up at 6am to finish packing and begin what was going to be a very exciting day. My mom asked me if I was most excited about the plane or the journey ahead. I told her that I was just excited to go and play soccer.

My dad drove me to the airport and at about 5pm I boarded my flight for Rome with the other members of the Caledon Canadians. This was my first time on an airplane.

We landed in Rome at 2am our time, about 8am there. We launched straight into a big day of sight seeing. We boarded the bus to go into Rome and then went on foot for what Issie told us was about 30km of walking.

Our first stop was Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. This church was totally amazing and worth the hour and a half wait to go inside. Although I was only inside for about 10 minutes I managed to shoot about 150 photos. Everywhere I looked there were statues, paintings, marble columns and floors. After this we walked to the Trevi fountain, Colosseum and other famous landmarks in Rome, such as The Victor Emmanuel Monument which is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It was cool to see that the streets and sidewalks were very old looking and the stone was very smooth.

By the time I went to bed at 11pm, I had been awake for about 35 hours with about only 30 minutes of sleep.

bus ride south to Agropoli.

During the entire bus ride there were mountains on both sides of the road.

Our hotel in Agropoli was on the Mediterranean Sea, but it was too cold to swim, although two of my teammates did anyways. I played some soccer outside of the hotel with my new ball and some friends until midnight when I went to bed.

Our first game was in the big tournament stadium on a grass field. I was in the starting lineup and played right forward. In that game the game ball was the one I bought for myself in Rome. I was subbed off , but not before I got our first and only goal of that game, which we won 1-0. One of the dads from the team had an international phone plan, I was able to call my mom and dad and tell them about my goal.

They were very proud of me.

The next day we boarded the bus to go to a game on a artificial turf field up in the mountains. We won that game 2-1, though we lost our third game 4-1.

The next day we were able to sleep in for the first time and I actually woke up at 11am and we left for the opening ceremonies. As a team we decided to trade our jackets. That’s when it got a little crazy, as everyone wanted to trade for the Canada jackets. I traded with a boy from Roma.

We lost our next game 2-0 and I was injured during a hard shoulder to shoulder tackle. My arm was swollen for about 5 days. That night the group I played cards with were gifted with two chocolate soccer cleats. We could not save them, so we ate most of them.

The next day we packed our bags to leave for a game against Ghana. The The next day we went to Saint Peter’s fields that we were to play on are the square for the mass blessing from the fields that the national team trains on.

Pope. After that we got some ice Unfortunately, Ghana was stuck at the cream and then stopped in some local border and could not make it to the shop and I bought a soccer ball. Then tournament.

On the way to Calabria we stopped to see more ancient ruins. The ruins were of the places where the gladiators fought and you could still see the holes where the tigers came out of. We also saw a theater area and where their homes were.

Easter Sunday we went into town early for the Easter Celebrations. This town has customs that are very old, in which the town members run through the streets with statues. Then we went to visit a friend of Issie's. His son made wooden cutting boards for everyone from the olive trees in their yard. I gave mine to my mom. She loves it! He also carved many beautiful things in their home, including neat designs on the floors.

We then went to the Calabria home field where we played the team that had come here last summer. That game ended with a tie of 2-2.

That night, which was our last in Italy, we had a huge feast. Dinner lasted from 8pm to midnight and had more food than we could possibly eat. We got back to the hotel around 1am, packed, played cards until 4am, then boarded the bus and headed for the airport for the flight to bring us back to Canada. I was so tired I actually slept through the take off on the first flight and woke only minutes before landing.

We were welcomed by family members waving Canadian flags and cheering for us.

I feel very lucky to have gone on this trip and I have many wonderful memories. My most memorable moments in Italy are of when we played soccer out on the streets. Everywhere we went people always asked for us to kick them the ball and they would do a few keep ups and then kick it back to us. It was great being around so many people who love soccer as much as I do. I will always be grateful to the people who made this trip possible for me and also to Issie (our guide), Tony (my coach), Bassi (our assistant coach and trainer), Mary (the team manager) and all of the Caledon Canadians and their families. Thank you.

SUDOKU How To Play The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers.

Every row of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order.

Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order.

Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9.

"“Everything he does is automatic.

When he moves into position for a goal chance it is instinctive. My feet do not do my thinking for me as they do for a player like John Charles. That is why I can never be as great a footballer as he."

Danny Blanchflower, soccer player

range today. Talented, he maintained controlled mastery over the ball, a powerful player who boasted superb aerial skills.

In April 1957, Charles captained Wales, in the presence of Umberto Agnelli, President of Juventus. Agnelli was impressed and, in August, Charles signed for Juventus at a record transfer fee for a British player.

John Charles is widely considered to have been the greatest all-round footballer ever to come from Britain. He was a world class player in both the centre-half and the centre -forward position. There is no comparable player with that kind of 34

zeb 3.1–3.2

In Torino, Charles was paired with Omar Sivori on the Juventus front line. The combination was explosive. In his first year in Serie A Charles was voted the best player in Italy. In his five years with Juventus, Charles won three Serie A Championships and two Italian Cups. He scored 93 goals in 155 games.

Juventus fans nicknamed him, "Il Buon Gigante" - the Gentle Giant.

He was never once cautioned or sent off in a game.

Though Charles retired from League football in 1966, what remains is the unforgettable legend of the Gentle Giant.

His name continues to be revered in Italy where he is easily the most successful Britain to play the Italian League.
