What an amazing interview, enjoyed it from begging to enf ❤

[@historychannel365]

I thoroughly appreciated the interview from beginning to end.

[@DomCorsetti-cr8jt]

I came to Mt.St.Michael the same year as Rocco from St.Vincent de Paul in Tarrytown Boarding School...to board at Mt. for two years and four years of H.S. I knew Rocco from the school and we were both in the Glee Club...I don't think he would remember me but when we were in the Glee Club I would talk with him.He told me about getting into Columbia U. on a soccer scholarship scholarship. I told him he was lucky to get in that way. He was always nice, pleasant, and fun to be with especially in the Glee Club.

[@fergusdesmond546]

What’s happening with the Cosmos Rocco?

[@trapezemusic]

I wish 60 Minutes mentioned the BIG contribution he made to Columbia University to build their soccer stadium and the contribution he made to Mt. Saint Michael Academy (his high school) for their refurbished soccer field. Otherwise great interview.

[@themastema1189]

My President!!!!!!! NOI SIAMMO FIRENZE!!!!!

[@fugetaboutit2050]

Such a cool interview and I am now a fan of the Italian team. Holler at me if you hear me.

It’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven. Dude, help people and not buy a stupid team.

[@yinanshi6783]

You sound like NBA and NFL should have never existed. I don’t agree. Trickle down economics is not the only way to help the whole community but one of the most effective.

[@yinanshi6783]

@what316-hq9sc Yeah. The invention of airplane is what lead to flight crashes.

[@amafirenze-vi1uh]

Did you watch the end of the video?

[@MohAmeDALArabY-cg6sr]

God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.

Ridiculous storytelling, the Della Valle family were much more competent as owners.

[@lucaluporini8951]

Ridiculous Della Valle, 0 trophies in 17 years !

[@quentinhirschfeld9382]

@@lucaluporini8951 Con i Della Valle siete andati in Champions, in semi)-finale di EL e'd avete avuto giocatori come Salah, Marcos Alonso, Borja Valero, Mutu,... La qualità di una dirigenza si vede anche come opera, poi la Fiorentina non è una big, guarda caso, non ha vinto niente con Commisso.

[@lucaluporini8951]

​@@quentinhirschfeld9382Con i Della Valle cosa abbiamo vinto ? 🤡 Ci siamo stati solo una volta in Champions 😅 Sicuramente abbiamo avuto anni buoni ma poi ci hanno lasciato al 15° POSTO ! Commisso in pochi anni ci ha riportato in Europa e abbiamo giocato 3 finali in soli 2 anni (con i Della Valle c'è stata SOLO UNA finale in 17 anni !). Commisso è a Firenze solo da 5 anni, è ancora presto per giudicare: deve ancora scrivere la sua storia ma ha già ottenuto risultati molto importanti ! FORZA ROCCO 💜
