Adriano!

The other day in Inter v. Sampdoria (which Inter won, unfortuately) it was a pretty scrappy, sort of violent, game. At one point, Adriano punched Sampdoria player Gastaldello in the stomach when trying to get a ball from a corner kick (I think). No foul was called! :P But anyway, thanks to TV evidence, the Serie A "sporting judges" have given him a three day match ban. Tee Hee!
