All this moaning about players from the Italian sedond/third divisions, French second/third divisions...
Are those divisions any worse a standard than League Two?!

I would expect that to be highly unlikely, I would say its got to be about the same level minimum. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

I would think the bottom half teams in Serie B/top Serie C is the equivalent of L2. |

Not a chance. Serie B is better than League 2 by miles. Even the bottom half of Serie B is still League 1 standard. |

When we lost to Ascoli in 94, Oliver Bierhoff scored a hat-trick....he then went on to score a brace in the final of Euro 96. Standard of Serie B is generally well above Div 4, but Italian football is experiencing a bit of a slump right now. |

Football in Italy, reflects the corruption of its body politic. Silvio Berlusconi, is proper ace, prime minister, but also a sort of Murdoch media tycoon, with a penchant for football and young girls. |
