Little Brazil?

There’s a very nice article straight off the ESPN site today about Mantova and the fight to get promoted from Serie B. They were dubbed ‘Piccolo Brasile’ by a local newspaper several years ago and the nickname stuck. And just in case you think Serie B isn’t worth your valuable time– notice that they once fielded a player by the name of Gigi Simoni and another guy named Zoff you may have heard of. hah!
