ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL??

Apparently the Vatican is. Here's an article sent to me by the Librarian.

Let's just hope that their uniforms are better than those things the Vatican Guard wear.

The Swiss Guard's uniforms are fine for the ceremonial stuff they do, Father. Just like the palace guards in London and Copenhagen they also have work uniforms as they're not extras from a light opera but a real army unit with real guns.

As for Cardinal Bertone's idea of a future Vatican City State football club even rivalling Italy's, why not? I wouldn't rule it out. With the orthodox restoration under way drawing a good-sized minority of the young worldwide (including some fine athletes) I think they'd have no problem recruiting excellent players from their priests and ordinands, an international talent pool at that: ace Italian, German and South American footballers, an all-star team.

Could make the World Cup more interesting in the next decade!
