Soccer: Roma Therapy

IT IS the sound of thousands of Roma fans singing in almost perfect harmony which first strikes you when you stand in the Curva Sud in Rome’s Olympic Stadium.

The singing is accompanied by an almost religious style of flag-waving, with each piece unfurled with all the decorum usually found down the road in the Vatican.

This evening’s opposition is Serie B team Palermo who have come to the capital for an Italian Cup first-leg game.
