INTER in Group B
By: Johonna |Group B
Inter (Milan, Italy)
Werder Bremen (Bremen, Germany)
Panathinaikos (or PAO; Athens, Greece)
Anorthosis Famagusta (Larnaca, Cyprus)
Inter may have been a bit lucky in our draw: lucky not to have to face Chelsea like Roma, or Real Madrid like Juve, but that is not to say we do not have our work cut out for us.
Tactical Tuesday – Jose Mourinho
By: Johonna |I am tired of endless speculation about who may or may not be coming or leaving in the waning hours of the summer mercato. We will all know soon enough. Also last Sunday’s Italian Supper Cup game has already been reviewed on this board (here and here) and discussed ad nauseum, so I decided [...]

One More Trophy & Other News
By: Johonna |Since I am a little, erm, late with this post, most of you probably know that Inter took home the Eusebio Cup after our game against Benfica last Friday. Although the score finished 0-0, Inter finally went ahead 5 to 4 on penalties. Mourinho was pleased with the results, and was somewhat sentimental [...]

Amsterdam LG Tournament: Inter v Sevilla and Ajax v Inter
By: Johonna |Inter’s next test is the Amsterdam LG Tournament, against Sevilla then Ajax (see schedule below). Unfortunately, this will have to be a preview of both as I will be out of town this weekend with no access to the internet.
The format for this tournament is a bit strange in that every team does not [...]
Inter 1-0 Bayern Munich
By: Johonna |Today Inter met Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in Munich for the Franz Beckenbauer Cup / Pirelli Trophy game. This was what I would consider to be our first test. Juve and Milan are good teams this season, but the Trofeo Tim hardly counts. I did not expect much – Bayern [...]
Off on the Road to Morocco Munich: A Preview
By: Johonna | Now I suppose you are all going to tell me that I am the only one who watched those Crosby and Hope road movies on the TV as a kid. Oh well.
So, we are off on our grand European Tour. First stop is the Franz Bechenbauer Cup / Pirelli Trophy against Bayern [...]
Chalk it up to Growing Pains – No Trofeo Tim for Inter This Year
By: Johonna |I must admit, after a bottle of wine with dinner and hand-made cannoli from the lovely Sicilian woman at the farmer’s market, I am feeling very little pain right now. Not at all like earlier in the week during the Tofeo TIM. Lets just say that my coworkers had to close the door to my [...]
