Go to Cesenatico or Rimini for vacation. You can also visit San Marino. An enclaved sovereign county in the Emilia-Romanga, close to the shores of the Adria. You can also make day trips to Rome/Vatican or/and Venice. Me, as a German speaker was also able to visit the Campo Santo Teutonico, a cemetery for "Germanic people" inside the Vatican. But you have to approach the swiss guards in German to get entry. It's s cool "hidden gem". I also recommend "Mirabelandia", a fun park with awesome rollercoasters!

@@yannick245 Azerbaijan border the European side of Russia and are located to the West of the Caspian Sea which is Europe. If they were located on the East side of the Caspian Sea like Turkmenistan then they'd be Asians. Kazakhstan however are certainly more Asian than European but in football they wanted to be part of UEFA to help their football development and also a small part of their country is European which made them eligible to join UEFA.

So many Serie C sides get back to back promotions. SPAL, Leece, Benevento have all done it and on smaller budgets. I think Monza are going to sneak into serie a through the playoffs. But they may want to take a page from the books of SPAL and Empoli in terms of spending and development if they want to stand a chance of surviving in the top flight. Big names can't keep you up.
Day 5 of asking for a documentary on Montserrat vs Bhutan in 2002. How it came about, why football is in such a bad state in the countries, any semi notable players, what happened in the match and how the teams have gotten on since
A documentary on the rise of Montserrat would be great, it's an unlikely success story of plucky non league players and an EFL Championship record goalscorer
Chievo, SPAL and Venezia are going to be in those promotion play-offs too - Getting promoted into Serie A isn't easy. And next season Crotone, Parma and Cagliari will likely be in Serie B. Even given their troubles this season you'd expect Parma to go straight back up.
Dude what an interesting video. Your like the only youtuber that is actually passionate and knowledgeable on this stuff. Like without HITC Sevens I would of never known.
btw if Balotelli had any sort of mentality he would’ve been the best 9 in the world for the last decade. if you don’t agree you clearly didn’t watch him at inter until euro 2012
Monza is a nice place with a beautiful Cathedral. I felt though it was really a suburb of Milan and I suspect the locals usually support Inter or Milan. English people think of Stockport and Manchester or Gateshead and Newcastle.
What most people don't know is Berlusconi used to play his guitar in the Underground in London as a young adult for money. He wasn't always rich. You are right about one thing Alfie, he does love football and I think this is his sailboat...
Suggestion for a video,seven players with most :player of the year awards in thier own country , like Ibrahimovic,Messi, Ronaldo or obscure like Klaavan,Hleb
I'm not sure about it, but I think one of the main problems might have been bureaucracy, which often represents a great obstacle for building/restructuration projects here.
And now that Monza will play against AC Milan and Inter Milan next season, it looks like that Kevin Prince-Boateng and Mario Balottelli are very happy that the club were promoted to the Serie A for the first time (even though they have moved on to other clubs). Silvio Berlusconi himself is very happy that it will play against his former club next season. See you in the top flight Monza.😀
