Italy Five Star Eurosceptics vote to break link with UKIP

Image copyright Reuters Image caption M5S was founded by Beppe Grillo, a former comedian Italy"s powerful anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S) has voted to break its European Parliament ties with the UK Independence Party (UKIP).
M5S members backed founder Beppe Grillo"s call to join up with the liberal bloc ALDE. That could make ALDE the parliament"s third-biggest group.
ALDE members will discuss a possible deal with M5S later on Monday.
ALDE and M5S have issued a joint manifesto for EU reform. UKIP"s Nigel Farage criticised the M5S move.
However, unlike the liberals, M5S is anti-euro and wants Italy to hold a referendum on whether to keep the single currency.
If M5S does form an alliance with ALDE, it will leave UKIP"s group – Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD) – much weakened. EFDD has 22 UKIP members and 17 from M5S.
So by losing 17 Italian MEPs the group would have 27 left. The minimum for a group to qualify for European Parliament s..

Grosso strikes gold for Italy

© Getty Images “Why me?”
This, Fabio Grosso remembers, was his reaction to being asked to take the famous spot-kick captured in this photograph. The left-back knew that he had not been among Italy’s five selected penalty takers before the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final™, with Pirlo, Materazzi, De Rossi, Del Piero and Totti the names Marcello Lippi had in mind. Even though Totti had been substituted, there seemed more obvious candidates – Luca Toni, Vincenzo Iaquinta or captain Fabio Cannavaro to name but three – for such an awesome responsibility.
Grosso later spoke of being “astonished” to be asked, reflecting that his last penalty before Berlin had come five years earlier in Serie C2 – Italy’s fourth tier. This experience was typical of the humble pre-2006 career of a defender who had played for Chieti in the lower leagues before slowly rising through the ranks with Perugia and Palermo.
Lippi, though, had an immediate response to Grosso’s ‘Why me?’ query. “Because you’re the man for th..
