Soccer Fans Are Nuts

So that was not the end of that whole "Bologna wins the football game and everyone stands around for an hour blowing airhorns" thing. Oh no. This is what we came out to find a couple hours later.

This picture does not do the whole scene justice, which is why I ran up to the room and grabbed the ole Flip Ultra.

So the crowd was having a great time lighting smoke bombs and waving their flags around. Then, the actual team rolled up in their bus which threw everyone into a football frenzy (I even caught a souvenir postcard). Don't ask me why they use the 20th Century Fox theme song to introduce themselves. Notice the cute dogs enjoying the action.


P.S. Did I mention what an evil place Italy was? Allow me to reiterate.

Bologna football team were promoted after winning the game and so they are now back in the top League: SERIE A !!!

That's why everyone went wild and kept shouting "Grande!".
