Italian Football Trial Adjourned So Judges Can Watch World Cup

ROME, Italy -- (CNN -- Cleat News Network) -- The trial of 4 Italian football clubs has been postponed until next week.

The official reason given is that legal representatives from Bologna, Lecce, Treviso, Brescia and Messina needed additional time to prepare their cases.

However, CNN sources inside Italy reveal that the trial has been adjourned so the judges and lawyers can watch the World Cup instead. Italy is scheduled to play against Ukraine on Friday's quarterfinal match.
