WELLL... LOL, apparently he cheated the exam.

While it is Suarez, a few things.

First, Italian Soccer and the owners behind it are as corrupt as the government. Secondly, therefore,, I am sure it’s standard procedure to give incoming players like this the answers.

Third, it is very likely that by giving out the answers, it allows Juve to get out of the transfer if they get cold feet, as they’ll leak through some web of sources, the “ cheating” to the press who will do the clubs dirty work to have the transfer fail.

Finally, could you imagine the social uproar here if pro sports players (or any inbound workers needing to “nationalize” here in North America) had to take a citizenship and language test similar to this?
