    Wonder what the likelihood of the Nice game being altered is - might be 'Nice' to pop over with the missus for that one.

    ...and brush up on your German. The SV Mals site is in German, all the local towns have German and Italian names. On the Austrian / Liechtenstein border give or take a few miles.

    .....because until just after the First World War, this town was actually in Austria - the area is still known in German as the SudTirol and virtually every town and village still has a German name as well as an Italian equivalent.

    Italy chose the right side for WW1 and the wrong side for WW2!

    According to Wikipedia, the first language of 96.92% of the population of Mals as per the 2011 Census is German and only 3% Italian.
