Ex-Lazio player and former Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio was caught offering the Fascist salute to Lazio fans on a number of occasions, most prominent being in a match against Juventus in 2005. A self-confessed Fascist, Di Canio associated himself with the left-wing politics of the Lazio fans.
For his Fascist salute, he was banned for one match and fined £7,000. Di Canio later tried to justify his actions and almost tried to glorify fascism, not a wise move when coming to his global reputation.

Football is life. May be more important and meaningful than life itself. It is probably one of very few things that still has a godly, magical and heavenly touch that can be experienced by the mortals living in this so called modern, soulless robotic life. SoccerSouls just tries to fill your souls with this magic.
We are noway claiming that we are the best football blog in the world or something, but we are sure that we will do our part to glorify the beautiful game. Every drop in the ocean counts!
