Italy | Ultras Leffe
Albinoleffe supporters, shown in a group shot from 2005–06, have adopted the motto “méi poc che nisù,” Bergamo dialect for “meglio pochi che nessuno,” or “better a few than no one.”
UC Albinoleffe of Bergamo, Italy, has gained notice of late—most recently at Guardian Unlimited—for leading Serie B despite a minuscule fan base from two small towns northeast of Milan. See the Ultras Leffe fan site for photographs of the support and Rai.tv for recent highlights.

Quotable »
A penalty! The goalkeeper wonders into which corner it will go. If he knows the opposing player, he knows the kicker's favorite corner, but the kicker knows he knows. So the goalkeeper wonders if he might choose the other corner this time. But the kicker knows that, too, so maybe he'll go for his favorite. And so on and so on. (Peter Handke, The Goalkeeper's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick, 1970)
