Italian Serie A Dictionary

Editor's Note:
This brilliant collection of terms from Paul Mettewie , posted originally on rec.sport.soccer, will allow the viewer to more closely understand RAI Serie A broadcasts, or 90.minuto. It is not as complete as the German-English Soccer terms, but then again, why would you watch the Serie A if you could watch the Bundesliga?
