Glory, Glory Man United

The 17-year old, Federico Macheda, has touched the glory. His master strike to keep Manchester United’s dream of a five trophy season alive will be remembered for many halves to come. At 17, he possesses a face much older in years, and a haircut resembling the turrets of an Italian town perched on top of a Tuscan hill. Brought into the soccer world by the grandfather of wisdom, Alex Ferguson, the boy is likely to thrive. Another major discovery by a Scotsman. Too bad Ferguson cannot discover a Scottish hero, a kid good enough to raise the sinking ship of Scottish football. While the Italian is eating pasta and tomatoes, the Scottish boy is devouring french fries, learning the language of cheap drink, and the smoke signals of tobacco. Help.
