[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 341412, member: 176362"] The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has called off all this weekend's Serie A and Serie B games after a policeman was killed at a match on Friday. Officer Filippo Raciti died as violence flared during the Serie A game between Sicilian rivals Catania and Palermo. FIGC has also cancelled Italy's friendly with Romania on Wednesday and all matches until a solution is found. Commissioner Luca Pancalli said: "What we're witnessing has nothing to do with soccer, so Italian soccer is stopping." He added that the decision to stop the games for the duration of the weekend was not enough, and said there would be more meetings on Monday "to identify those drastic measures that will allow us to restart. Otherwise, we're not restarting the games." The game was already given an early time slot on Friday because of fears over public safety.
