A tradition is born! This week we begin a mainstay to the Fanatic. Pretty straight forward: Someone has it tough, someone is kicking some 'A, so here they are for week one!

Winner: Catania Supporters

The constantly troubled Serie A ran into problems last weekend, finding Catania and Chievo fans at odds during a league match which found a Cheivo fan being robbed of his sat-nav system in a public scuffle. Instead of the story ending there, as many Italian football stories do lately, a regal group of Catania fans took it upon themselves to raise funds in hopes of making it right. Going one up on the hooligans who caused the trouble, the Catania organization organized (lots of organing) a fund raiser that saw a new sat-nav purchased and presented to the Cheivo fan. Classy move.



Loser: Sven-Göran Eriksson

There can be little doubt of Eriksson's pedigree, but the Swede just can't find his groove. After a disappointing international spell with the English national team followed by becoming the first managerial victim of the morphing Manchester City, becoming the Mexican national coach might have been viewed as strange choice and an effort to jump-start a bumpy career. After Mexico's latest loss to Jamaica the gaffer is on ice again. The loss compounded by the fact that Mexico has now been leapfrogged by their neighbors to the North in the FIFA rankings will not sit too well with the Mexican FA. With Mexico booked to play Canada this week, the Swede better hope for a win or face a whole new round of troubles from the unforgiving Mexican people. Muy interesante!
