Yes, and it's delightful.  It provided a topic of conversation over on
soccer-l (hey, it's a US-based list, after all), better and more
uplifting than the, um, conversation that often erupts when a Greek side
plays a Turkish side in one of the European competitions.  

Now if only Leeds Utd would pass Man Utd in the Premiership...

Best,

Not entirely relevant to Lombardi, but under the rubric "Classics &

entry
"Apopudobalia" [sic!] in Vol. I of Der Neue Pauly?
