Youths pass a sign outside San Siro stadium announcing the suspension
of a match between the Italian Serie A soccer league's top two teams,
Inter Milan and AS Roma, in Milan February 4, 2007. The Italian Olympic
Committee (CONI) held an emergency meeting on Sunday as soccer stadiums
fell silent for the second day in a row after a policeman died following
fan violence in the Sicilian city of Catania on Friday. All soccer matches
from children's leagues to the national team's friendly against Romania on
Wednesday have been cancelled while the authorities consider draconian
measures such as matches behind closed doors. [Reuters] |
