Michigan football went international this spring under Jim Harbaugh, and renewed some friendships on Monday. The Wolverines hosted members of the AS Roma soccer club at the Michigan practice fields. Members of the football and soccer squads engaged in a little friendly competition, from trying to beat each other on soccer goals and football throws to banging pigskins and soccer balls through American football goal posts.

The squads exchanged gifts afterwards, involving soccer and football jerseys. It's all part of an ongoing carryover from Michigan's spring trip to Rome, Italy, for practices, Harbaugh noted.
