Inter v Palermo: Time to Play Catch-up

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 [...]

Oh Ya, There is That Whole Serie A Thing Too

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 |

62 Comments

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 [...]

Tactics Talk 3

By: MAD |

50 Comments

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 [...]

Inter 2 – Udinese 1

By: MAD |

Udinese is always a tough nut to crack for us, but they shouldn’t have been this time. As the announcer on FSC said during the game, “Inter looks the stronger and the more technical side.” We spent the entire game camped out on the Udinese half taking shots. The fact that only 2 went in [...]

Next Up, Udinese

And here we are, back home and raring to go. Sure, we had a bit of a hiccup in Russia, but we are back on home ground and looking to make up some points. That said, we are still in the midst of a mini injury crisis, and Udinese is not a pushover. We come [...]

Off to Fight the Tatars

Inter have made their way to the frozen northern steppes to take on last year’s Russian Premier League champions, Rubin Kazan (or Футбольный клуб Рубин Казань in Russian; Рубин Казан футбол клубы for the Tatar separatists out there) in Matchday 2 of the UCL. If Inter have any hope of continuing past the group stages, [...]
