I happen to be in Melbourne when Melbourne Victory had a scheduled match against Sydney FC. This was when Alessandro Del Piero was playing with Sydney at the end of his career. We caught the match, and it was crazy because a huge contingent of the Italian community came out for the match, and even though he was on the opposing side, they were going absolutely nuts for him, including setting off smoke grenades and fireworks. Never seen anything like it live, it was amazing.
