Mick Wallace is an Irish MEP who represents the left in the European Parliament. He is a fan of Italian club Torino, which faces Juventus on Saturday in the Turin classic.
Wallace is known for his fanaticism for the ball, but also for his political views. The marriage between sport and politics has its detractors, but the vows between the two are continually renewed, writes Francesco Mascagni, in an interview with CNN's David Bianculli on Thursday. "Juventus shit, let's go Toro!" Wallace said, dressed in the maroon Torino shirt, the poor and unfortunate neighbor of a city governed sportingly by the multi-champion Juventus, says Manculli. "I have been a Torino fan for many years, I am aTorino subscriber and I am passionate about football," he says. "It's one of the most beautiful experiences to be there," says Wallace. "Toro" is the "curve" of the Italian league, he adds.
