Dynamo v Inter: One More Shot at Redemption
By: Johonna |Inter are going back to Russia (ok, well Ukraine) to see if we can finally find our footing in Europe. We have not exactly excelled, and our high-flying Serie A position will not count for a hill of beans. It will be cold, and Kiev is a good team, but the boys are up for [...]
Inter 5 – Palermo 3, Zanetti 477
By: MAD |Let’s get this out of the way right now – when a defender takes out the back leg of the forward heading to goal, and doesn’t touch the ball, it’s a stone cold penalty. If Julio Cesar gets called for his “penalty” a week or so ago, than this is definitely one.
With that out of [...]
Inter v Palermo: Time to Play Catch-up
By: Johonna |The results are all in, and, no matter the outcome of the game tomorrow, we will still be top of the table come Friday. Although a draw would not be a disaster at this stage of the competition, a loss would sting. Plus, I want to win this one – four points in front [...]
Inter 2 – Catania 1
By: MAD |The dichotomy that is Inter concluded its 9th league game this past Saturday with an indifferent win. The dichotomy of course is that Inter can dominate so easily on Saturday and Sunday, but have such troubles on Tuesday and Wednesdays. Is it mental? Is it the competition? Is it familiarity? Is there some lack of [...]
Oh Ya, There is That Whole Serie A Thing Too
By: Johonna |Ok. So now we have to shake the Champions League blues from our hearts and minds and really, there would be no better way to do that than to unload a serious Genoa/Milan style whooping on Catania. But we musn’t get our ahead of ourselves, there are no sure things in football. Catania are [...]
Inter 2 – Dinamo 2
By: MAD |Matchday 3 for the UEFA Champions League group stage ended for us on Tuesday. As usual for Inter in a Champions League game it had its ups and downs. Unfortunately for me, it starts on Fox Soccer Channel when the idiot who is the color commentator had to ask his partner whether the Italian team [...]
But What Have You Done For Me Lately?
By: Johonna |Sure, Inter just dismantled Genoa on Saturday, but this is Tuesday and a whole new game. More importantly, this one is an absolute must win (no matter what Mou says). After two games, Inter are third (third!) in Group F, behind Barcelona and Dynamo. A win against tomorrow will move us up into second – [...]
“Genoa are better than Inter” – Genoa 0 – Inter 5
By: MAD |Some may have forgotten the above statement, but I haven’t. And its statements like this that gets people into troubles. Not because I believe that there is a large a huge Karmic vortex that punishes hubris – although I could be wrong, it certainly seems like that often enough – but because it indicated sloppy [...]
Taking on the Dragon Slayers
By: Johonna |On Saturday, Inter take the 1½ hour train ride (on the Intercity) from Milan to Genoa. This is no easy trip as Genoa have a long history of beating the crap out of us, especially at the Stadio Ferraris. Last year, Genoa were good, this year, they may be better. Due to our player [...]
Tactics Talk 3
By: MAD |With the international break still upon us I thought that I would like to look at and have some discussion on the back 4 of our team – not counting JC, of course. We already started talking about it on Monday, so I thought we could expand the discussion a little more and really go [...]
