Where did you hear about this?  I have not followed the incident closely,
and I therefore cannot claim that what you are saying is not true, but I have
a genuine hard time believing you are going to see Italian fans dress up in
Liverpool colours, mingle with the Liverpool crowd (speaking English with an
english accent?) to start a fight with the people they usually sit with
during the regular season games, just in order to get the Liverpool fans
in trouble (who sure don't need help usually).

I think it's a shame that the English teams must be punished for the
irresponsible behaviour of their fans.  At the same time, it is not the
first time if I recall correctly (Liverpool-Bayern in Paris a few years ago?)
that Liverpool fans act this way.  How much is rumor and how much is truth
then in the provocation story you are relating?

I ain't a Juve fan either.
