Another world. Yes, the beastly Sundays in Italy and abroad they are a completely different world compared to the center of the Pallonara city, enlightened by money and exasperated professionalism. It is a world where even the scenarios of Holly e Benji become possible, where not only the players on the pitch but also the players can get hurt mascot outside and where jackets, uniforms and standard clothes become a nuisance and not a display… and those who pass from one world to another feel good and exalt it. Then, of course, the whole world is a country.
MANIFESTO
The wonderful song of Bandabardò it could be a real hymn to Bestial Sundays, in praise of unreasonableness and in defiance of conventions. A hymn taken literally by Simone Pizzolato of the New Bragno Football, Promozione Liguria, disqualified for four matches because “having been replaced, he was asked by an assistant referee to wear the team jersey and gave him a seriously disrespectful expression”. I’m out of the pack, clearly different, fashions go away, I’m staying! I remain naked and manifest!
POSTER
From “manifesto” to posters: because if there was one to stick on the wall or in the wardrobes of lovers of Bestial Sundays it would be the one Roman Perticone, not just for the name obviously. The debut at Milan and a career between A and B, before arriving in D, al Treviso… without the melancholy face of someone who mourns the good times gone by, rather: “Good evening – he writes on his social account – I’m speaking to you from the world without Var (the D series). It’s good here, very good indeed. Kick punches and bottle blows like in the old days. Romantic football”. Release clause stuff for several cases of beer at the discount store.
THERE ARE THOSE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD…
From Bandabardò to another piece of the country’s musical Olympus: i Gem Boy. Well, the parody band also dedicated a song to Holly and Benji, putting in all the weirdness, come on kilometer fields to the strange effects of the balloon. “Children playing football when you’ve never seen them on television, stadiums full, I’m perplexed,” they sang, concluding that “with Holly and Benji everything is normal.” But no: because in Japan the stadium really filled up for a school tournament: 55 thousand people at the stadium for the final between two schools, the Aomori Yamada and theohms, which was also broadcast on TV and abroad. The Gem Boy song also prophesies Japan as the winner of the World Cup…
MASCOT
Yes, today’s footballers are rather fragile, even for footballers game rhythms and tight schedules: strains, fatigue, elongations are always around the corner, and therefore it is far from rare to see players go out in stretcher. The players, not the mascots. And instead this also happens: a little eagle with the social colors ofEagle, a club in El Salvador, overdoes the dancing and gets injured. Result? Carried away on a stretcher with all his costume on.
THE WHOLE WORLD IS A COUNTRY
So far things from the other world, but in the end the whole world is a country, as in Tuscany promotion with a fine of 100 euros for the Lunigiana Pontremolese because “an unfamiliar person entered the match director’s locker room and contested his actions, also stating that he did not want to receive many because of the referees, boasting of knowledge in the AIA leaders of the provincial section who, if present, would have negatively evaluated his performance”. Actually, “he held” the knowledge.
