		<description>The Flickr page says that the fellow&#039;s grandfather told him it was Sparta Praha, but that he has determined that didn&#039;t play in June 1933.  He now thinks it was a 6-3 win over Ujpest Dozsa of Hungary.

That match was the return leg of the quarter final of what Italians call the Coppa Europa Centrale (better known in English as the Mitropa Cup, the best of the several international club competitions that pre-dated the creation of the European Cup).  The win (with Juve&#039;s oriundo striker Raimundo Orsi scoring four goals) put Juve through, but they were knocked out in the semi-finals by Austria Vienna.

Very basic match details here:

As anyone who has been to Torino knows, the old Communale (which is where this match was played) was infinitely superior to the out of town white elephant that is the Stadio delle Alpi.  The new Communale (aka Stadio Olimpico) built on the same site is a significant improvement (with all modern conveniences) but is too small for big matches and cursed with very heavy-handed security.  It will be interesting to see what Juve do with  the redevelopment of the Delle Alpi over the next few years.</description>

		<description>Juventus played two home games in June 1933.  A 3-0 win over Milan on June 11 (which I believe is the game they clinched the Championship) and a 5-0 win over Palermo on June 25.</description>
