When I arrived at work Wednesday morning in Bari, which is located 25 kilometers down the Adriatic coast from Molfetta, I found the streets in front of my faculty decorated for several blocks with banners in the colors of the Bari soccer team. There had been a game the night before which, if Bari had won, would have gained the team a place in the A Series of national soccer. Much to their chagrin, Bari's team has been in the B Series for a few years now, and that is clearly not as satisfying as playing with the big boys in the A Series!Unfortunately, the Tuesday night game against Empoli ended in a tie score, 0-0. However, if Bari should win on Saturday against Piacenza, there is still hope! Forza Bari!

Fun! Good luck to the team and keep us posted!
love this community spirit!
Don't care much of soccer so I could easily wish Bari any well. Forza Bari!
I'm not a soccer fan myself, in fact, I tease my son by saying that I root for Chievoverona, a team that he could care less about, just to tease him.
I just like all the red and white flags across the street, the festive mood!
Forza Bari!
great to see the banners on show
