My favorite part of their homepages is the table that compares Roma's stock market performance with its rivals Lazio and Juve. Roma may be tied for 9th place in the standings but at least their stock isn't tanking as badly as those higher placed teams.

But who's got more style? The best prosciutto? Pasta? The most beautiful women? The best canoli? They should have indexes for that, too. btw, it's all Greek... umm ... Latin ... umm ... Italian to me.

Speaking of Soccer, here's a pretty good Penalty Kick game (login as guest) courtesy of Roby Baggio's disturbingly well executed site. I wasted a good two hours on this, winning 10 cups, before I realized that it was repeating itself with no end. I wanted to make this a MeFi post but I figured it would be better suited here, before I was confronted with the bastard delay system.

But who's got more style? In the never ending war for "Who is *the* team for the city of Rome?", I vote SS Lazio. At least when they won the scudetto, their fans didn't go crazy painting every building, street, monument, water fountain, and fire hydrant with the team colors. Showing such disrespect for the Eternal City automatically disqualifies you, in my book. And I'm a Juve fan.

I am confused... "Roma" kimmy likes Lazio better, but is a Juventus fan... What the hell is going on here!?

It warms my heart to see a preponderance of soccer posts here at SpoFi. Dude, you should've been in our SpoFi Fantasy League (check out the locker room).
