This killed italian football. Best league in the world in the 90s up to 2006. Hasn't recovered since. The prem & la liga have dominated since. Forza juve.
It was already dying beforehand. Lazio, Fiorentina and Parma all went bankrupt cause they spent money they didn't have. By the time Calciopoli came along the seven sisters were already dead.
What killed the league was fraud, it lived by fraudulent money unfortunately. Calciopoli, Parmalat, Cirio, Fiorentinas owners fraud killed it. Half of the league had no money, and then it was shown that the competition itself was a fraud, as it was fixed. It will never stop being funny how for a Juventus fan the biggest problem is still not that they cheated their way to success, but that they were caught. Have you no shame? Good thing Serie A has made a comeback in the recent years, but it will never beat PL because the money gap is just ridiculous.
This came as a surprise to absolutely nobody in Europe. Italian football has been perpetually corrupt. Every major side in Europe has a story about strange goings on in the European cup against italian sides. How italian teams weren't blanket banned from the champions league is beyond me. It no doubt involved a deal and a briefcase of cash.
In the end it turned out that investigators had 200 000 phone calls of basically all Serie A clubs lobbying for best referees and for special treatments, but for some reason they decided set the filter only on Moggi. Inter, which initally investigators said there were no calls at all, were found to have spoken even to referees directly. The italian football federation prosecutor found Inter had committed sports fraud but were saved by limitation period.
accuse Inter as you want, but everyone knew in Italy, juventus are referee's golden boys. Even after they get back in serie A, referee are always bias towards juventus, maybe Inter and milan got their share also, but juventus are the biggest scam of them all. Now, they even make fraud reports about their finance and transfer. What a rat club.
Rubbish! Non was similar to Juve Moggi! This man used to lock referees in their rooms after the match or beret them if he doesn’t like their performances.
It also turned out that inter were involved in juve getting relegated having key members in certain positions to make sure they’d get put down. Its no coincidence inter benefited the most from juve and other clubs getting punished
Honour to the Italians who, despite damaging themselves, let the shit out, not like other hypocritical countries that hide it and lectures others, Forza 🇮🇹
So, corruption doesn’t exist in other countries, right? Stop pretending to be naive; in every sport where millions are at stake, there are interests involved. Some hide them, while others confront them. Regardssss
The premier league needs looking at next. It all about protecting the golden egg. The top clubs getting away with financial breaches while smaller clubs receiving points deductions
I bet if Juve won the Championship League against Borrusia this would take a different route. I love Juventus, loved a lot of their players in those times but of course no suprise as far as the fixing and steeling goes so forza Italy for going through that .. but never will be convinced in a bigger picture saying, that Juve was the only Pedro - and that would cost Italian league, society dearly .. But all of Europe, more or less ( apologies, trying to avoid this as some kind of collective guilt ) I hope will keep on fighting for a better society rather than just shatter into "gazillion" little fractions over politics , of course. Same wishes to all around the globe. That's boring, pathetic, naive to hear maybe but do apologize to , hm, "human nature" for this wish .. What's the alternative if not at least dialogue ? Only can "human nature" strive toward and that's enough said. Bye
Again with the "ref locked in the dressing room" myth?! It's been disproven by the ref himself years later and there's even a court verdict about it! Also, there's wiretapped material involving plenty of other clubs, INCLUDING Inter (who reaped the rewards of the Calciopoli scandal). But the focus was all on Moggi and Juventus, as they were Public Enemy #1 in Italian football. The goal of the investigation wasn't making Calcio clean again, it was just petty revenge to appease the non-Juventus fans and basically taking out someone who had become too influential within the accepted structure of corruption.
Get over it, juve got busted cheating for the world to see. No amount of lies and type of "Oh Inter was involved as well but all the prosecutors were inter fan and they didn't release the transcripts" conspiracies will change that.
1998 I still get angry thinking about it. INTER were fucking ROBBED VS JUVENTUS. Scandalous yet it took 8 years for us too all know what they were up to. Forza INTER.
Probably the most famous call, that was swept under the rug and surprisingly only reappeared after the the Limitation Period. (2011) Call between G. Facchetti (Inter) and P. Bergamo (Referee designator) Facchetti: «Look, I saw Bertini's (Referee) scorecard that he has with us: 4 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats...» Bergamo: «Holy shit, then let's do 5,4,4. But victories" Facchetti: «But tell him it's crucial, tomorrow. He did 12 games, 4-4-4" Bergamo: «One has to move, but the one that begins with W. Yes, I 'll talk to him. Don't worry, he understood how to walk: he's a smart boy, he understood. Better late than never. @@Micfri300
1:07 before I even start watching .. I can probably guess wright by stating : " .. as if Juventus was the only one, like a black sheep 😞🤷 , no ? " ( what if I mention - silvio berlusconi and fc milan ? ) Still love Juve ❤
20:06 Ako je tako, a vjerujem kao laik generalno onda svom najdražem klubu iz djetinjstva želim da ga kupi kakav magnat, biznismen iz dalekih zemalja i kao već neke klubove pretvori u ono što bi Juventus trebao biti, ali za to će se nešto pitati i same talijane, naravno
Italian authorities drove towards the elimination of Juventus, Italian authorities are made not by honest people but dishonest people ant-Juve, Neapolitans, Milan people, and Roman people all anti-Juve 32:05 if you don't know the basics you can't talk about Italy and Italian football.
And lot of people still support juventus ... Back in the 90's it was actually the time inter to win , but a blatant referee decision made juventus the winner..
Woah your joking the Italians are corrupt 😂 I want the doping to come out,the reason Zidane played his best football there like barcelona under Pep 😂all of a sudden Messi never had muscle injuries when he had them all the time and just look at how they ran around full tilt 90 mins 😂 no wonder Manchester United were dizzy. Manchester United without cheating would have at least another 5 champions leagues as was also cheated by against real Madrid with the refs paid off
Juve fans 9 years in row serie A titles Forza juve Inter fans 5 serie A titles in row 2006- 2010 treble in 2010 serie A title, coppa Italia title , UCL title Forza inter 2023 anti juve fans Serie A is back Forza serie A 2023 UCL Final Manchester City 1 Inter 0 2023 Europa League Final Roma 1 Sevilla 1 Sevilla wins 4-1 on penalties 😂😂😂😂

Yeah, this definitely killed the Italian League. Everyone wanted to go play in Italy until this happened.
It was already dying beforehand. Lazio, Fiorentina and Parma all went bankrupt cause they spent money they didn't have. By the time Calciopoli came along the seven sisters were already dead.

DUDE!
These types of content from the past give me such amazing nostalgia and take me back to far better times.
Great stuff.

Similar to how every team has strange encounters against Spanish teams...
Brilliant from James. Fabulous documentary!
Wish this show would comeback, miss it a lot
great content! thank you for posting

@@martinrosario4018 Juve really bounced back though, they dominate Serie A for a whole decade and went to 2 CL finals.
James Richardson one of the great football journalists.
Gab Marcotti is like the Mafia PR man. No wonder he's on #ESPN
Yeah he irritates me. He’s also getting very fat off telling us what we already know.
Great for practising your Italian listening skills
The bit about the suspicions regarding Inter's involvement being entirely without foundation really didn't age well.
Fair ..
The Italian league was easily the best league in the world before this happened.
Amazing stuff
Juve would get promoted in 2006/07 (their points deduction ended up being -10 points!), but won't win the title again until 2011/12!
Then won 9 straight lol.
what story tnx
Honour to the Italians who, despite damaging themselves, let the shit out, not like other hypocritical countries that hide it and lectures others, Forza 🇮🇹
bull shit....italian football has always been corrupt...fact
bullshit...italian football has always been fiddled...fact

Man City have further to fall
The video was as much fun as reading your scripts on football italia
Please all major games now a days are fixed everything is fixed I’m profesional sports
I bet if Juve won the Championship League against Borrusia this would take a different route.

Bye
The ⛈️ after the Azzurri won 2006 World Cup. There was a lot of underhanded tactics, murky and dirty cloak-and-dagger antics
Gab looks about twelve.
Still seems, to get caught in Italy means you just crossed the wrong people....not the law. :/
Wow seems like they brought that mentality over the the Atlantic matey

Will we see a scandal like this hit the Premier League?
What a fascinating documentary also I wonder how pierluigi collina would have taken no favours in my view
THIS SCANDAL IS NOW BIBLE IN LALIGA
1998 I still get angry thinking about it. INTER were fucking ROBBED VS JUVENTUS. Scandalous yet it took 8 years for us too all know what they were up to. Forza INTER.
And in 2005 2006 moratti and facchetti were talking with refs..
Idiot Facchetti and Moratti were the real cheaters and even Galliani. in the Season 1997-98 Inter got in 14 games embarrassing helos from referees
Yes I remember in 1997/98 some penalties not give for fouls on R9. Apparently the Juventus board or Moggi bought the referee for the game a race horse
Probably the most famous call, that was swept under the rug and surprisingly only reappeared after the the Limitation Period. (2011)
Call between G. Facchetti (Inter) and P. Bergamo (Referee designator)
Facchetti: «Look, I saw Bertini's (Referee) scorecard that he has with us: 4 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats...»
Bergamo: «Holy shit, then let's do 5,4,4. But victories"

Man City should follow soon. Strip them of all their titles, relegate them, and disqualification from every single competition.
1:07 before I even start watching .. I can probably guess wright by stating : " .. as if Juventus was the only one, like a black sheep 😞🤷 , no ? "
( what if I mention - silvio berlusconi and fc milan ? )
Still love Juve ❤

Yeah. Moggi was the big dog and organized the whole thing with Mancini
Remind me please why AC Milan never relegated?
Oh yeah..
Because the Prime minister of Italy was their Owner
FORZA JUVE
Amazing upload.

Pazza inter

And now that the FULL truth is out, this video is POINTLESS !!!! Forza Juve !!!
Ah I am ignorant of all the facts. Can you help me understand why Juve is innocent? Thank you.
And lot of people still support juventus ... Back in the 90's it was actually the time inter to win , but a blatant referee decision made juventus the winner..
Man City are next

Only reason Juve and Inter ever win Scudetto’s.
