It was just a couple of days back, at the Juventus Arena, Juve were playing out an embarrassing draw against Lazio. Conte then decided to sub in Del Piero for the last few minutes. A free-kick was awarded at the edge of the box- though not in the best of shooting ranges.

About the priest talking like this, it would be a gross miscalculation if that was to be generalized. I think less than 0.1% Brahmins would accept his views. Secondly, there is no written/scientific proof of wha...
