Why Foreigners are Important to Serie A

By: MAD |

There is a perceived lack of Italians on this team, even though we have several, who apparently don’t count. Supporters of other teams, who like to find a reason to have a go at us, often use the “no Italians” chant to show their superiority where none might otherwise exist.

International Breaks Blow

I understand that being called up to a National Team is an honor. It means that among all the players from your particular country, you are one of the very best at what you do. Great. Good for them. I am proud of our Internationals. Right now, Inter has 13 squad members out being [...]

Inter v Roma: Dipende da Noi

By: Johonna |

128 Comments

Just as it should, this game gets top billing this weekend. Say what you will about Roma, for some reason they always bring it when they travel to Milan to play Inter. It doesn’t really seem to matter their form or where they sit in the table, when they come to the San Siro, they [...]

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 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 [...]

Inter 2 – Dinamo 2

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?

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

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

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 [...]
