Call in the God
squad
THE VATICAN is planning to clean up Italian football by founding
its own club.
In a country where the game is as big as religion, the proposal has
won the backing of leading European officials. But it is unclear
whether the team would be a domestic or international side as the
Vatican City is a sovereign state.
Home games could also be a problem because the Vatican is the size
of just five football pitches.
Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Pope's No2 and an avid football fan,
said: "I don't exclude the possibility that the Vatican could field
a football team at the level of the most famous professional
clubs."
Bertone insists the huge number of Brazilian religious students at
the Vatican could be drafted in to create a divine side, which
would play in yellow and white.
A UEFA spokesman said: "The Vatican is a sovereign state recognised
by the United Nations and we would have no problem in accepting it
as a member."
Holy cow !!! strangest thing i
