Summary
Who says “EURO GUIDE”, says “COUNTRY SHEETS” and “CALENDAR COMMENTS”. In this issue of SO FOOT, you will therefore find all the information you need to follow the Euro a little differently from ordinary fans. Two pages per team with useful information, anecdotes to shine in the machine in the café, at the bar, on the evening bench or even in dinners in town, interviews, the traditional “why they are going to lose / why they are going to win” , etc.
In the “magazine” section itself, enjoy:
Gennaro Gattuso, the interview. In Milan, Stéphane Régy and Vikash Dhorasoo met Rhino Gattuso, who had no tongue in his laces.
Franck Ribéry has the humor that stains. He was honored at the beginning of June with a show in his name, the Franck Ribéry Show, a sort of downright almost-quasi-global event (filmed in Lille, in his native “North”, broadcast on Direct 8 for TV ) in which Francky will be able to make good jokes. Since 2002, the peoplisation of footballers was in decline. And then, Ribéry arrived… Report behind the scenes of the Ribéry Show.
A Port, all rotten. Or how Portugal offers itself a small remake of Moggiopoli with a cod in the middle. A good omen before winning the Euro?
Report from Klagenfurt, the town which will have the pleasure of welcoming German, Croatian and Polish fans at the same time. What is a city like a few weeks before the hottest hooligans in Europe landed?

Auxerre, the Romanian invasion. They are three, and three Romanians in the same team, especially in Auxerre rather famous for its Africans and Poles. Investigation into a change of sector …

Football culture
Kusturica talks about Maradona. Finally, Kusturica’s film is complete. A bit rough, a bit of anything, anyhow, a bit of a mess, a bit deconstructed, a bit disappointing too, for an Emi Kusturica decidedly more at ease with fiction than the documentary.
Anthony LaPaglia. Passionate interview with the FC Hollywood guard, who is in passing, neither more nor less than Jack Malone in FBI: missing. And yeah…
