That beautiful structure is not real life. It is, rather, like real life should be. In the archaic world of European sports, reality bares its teeth in a more menacing, sinister manner, resembling the scary portrait that Italy's own Dante gave of Minos, the guardian of Hell who decides which 'circle' each poor soul - no pun intended - who is sent for judgment before him has to descend into.
