Medal, at last!

Three cheers for Alex Schwazer, who unexpectedly took home Italy's first medal in a so far extremely disappointing World Championships in Helsinki

It had better be gold for Stefano Baldini, otherwise even Bahrein will have done better than us. I know they purchase their players with oil money, but I wouldn't want my friend Mahmood to celebrate too long.

And hell, we buy players as well - spot the Italian name in our basketball national team!
