He's Baaaack

I, and all fans of AS Roma, got some good news yesterday. Francesco Totti (there he is above), after recuperating for more than two months from a bad leg injury, is back in training, and should be able to play the final game of the season - against the formidable AC Milan.

Totti has held a god-like status here in Rome for several years, with his fame growing since entering the professional squad at 16 years old (after doing a stint in the Rome's youth squad). He has been called one of the best players of the sport by no less a champion than Pele. But, what I like most about him is his humility and his loyalty to the team. This year especially he has shown an almost supernatural force of character, attending games after his injury to root his teamates to victory. During the last Coppa game I saw at the stadium (Roma-Palermo 1-0), he sat amongst the most diehard of fans, the Ultras for the first part of the match. I can't really explain it. He just imparts this feeling of Goodness and Right. There is something undeniably decent about him. Forza Capitano!!
