I have begun to give some English lessons to a few 15 year olds. They are keen footballers and play for the “San Giorgio Allievi” (the under 16s). Two weeks ago they celebrated their first victory and first 3 points of the season. However, the one swallow didn’t make a Summer and last week they returned to form losing 10-0 to San Andrea. Their 3 points puts them at the bottom of the league. Perhaps the English lessons are having an effect and they are realising that it’s not the winning that’s important but taking part.
