Rossoneri will be champions because of their better head to head record if they finish level at the
end of the season.
Defending champions Inter's hopes of taking the title race into another weekend have been hit by a
suspension to goalkeeper Julio Cesar and injuries to Dejan Stankovic and Ivan Cordoba but
midfielder Thiago Motta may return.
ROME, Italy — Inter Milan slumped to a dispiriting 3-1 defeat at Lazio on Friday leaving coach
Rafael Benitez under renewed pressure just as the former Liverpool boss thought he had turned the
corner with the Serie A and European champions. Inter, who face a trip to the Middle East for the
World Club Cup [.
Lazio inflicted another defeat on Serie A champions Inter with coach Rafael Benitez's position
becoming weaker and weaker with every passing week. The victory against Parma in the previous round
was by a big score raising hope the Nerazzurri will be back on the right track yet many failed to

It's all over the calcio news this morning, the Italian Footballer's Association has declared
that they will be going on strike on the 5th Giornata of the season, which is scheduled to take
place the weekend of September 26th (and has Roma-Inter on the schedule). The press conference was
held today, and Massimo Oddo was the spokesperson for the Footballer's Association (WHY?

Ten-men Inter Milan put on a textbook example of how to defend in Barcelona and knocked the
defending champions out and sent Inter to their first Champions League Final since 1972.
Once again Jose Mourinho showed why he is the "Special One. His tactics proved decisive as Inter
not only overcame the loss of Goran Pandev minutes before kick-off, but also the dismissal of
former Barcelona midfielder Thiago Motta inside the first half-hour.
This is amazing. Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho has been banned from the touchline for three
games by the Italian FA after making a handcuffs gesture in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Sampdoria.
Mourinho will have to watch the games against Udinese, Genoa and Catania from the stands.
In addition to the Mourinho suspension, Inter players were also be missing some Serie A
games.
According to ESPN Soccernet, Manchester City boss Roberto
Mancini admitted that he is not close to signing Inter Milan defender
Ivan Cordoba but stated that a deal is possible. When asked if he was close to
signing Cordoba, Mancini said:
In form Bellamy will stay at Manchester City As we mentioned a few weeks ago, last
January in the Premier League we were treated to a handful of major transfers. I mean, some
massive, massive moves: Arshavin, Heskey, Given, Beattie, Defoe, Bellamy, etc. all moved
clubs...
So, who will make the move in 2010?
Manchester City are a team that could do with strengthening their defence if they are to be taken
seriously in Mancini's claim that a top-four finish is top priority this year with the club's first
League title in 42 years expected next year. It's no surprise then, that out of favour Ivan Cordoba
of Inter Milan are their main target this January.
Will we now see a Inter to City pipeline? If so, Ivan Cordoba could be the first recruit
trading in days at the San Siro for a chance Premiership silverware.
Will the 33-year-old be at Eastlands this January?
According to the Daily Mail, Inter Milan defender Ivan Cordoba
could possibly be Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini's first
signing. Manchester City are dealing with injuries in the back and Cordoba is open to playing for
Mancini.
This summer I had the chance to interview two players, Claudio Reyna and Salomon Kalou, after Steve
Nash's second annual celebrity soccer match. Proceeds from the event went towards the Steve Nash
Foundation and the Claudio Reyna Foundation. The set-up is a free, 8-a-side match featuring NBA
players and professional soccer players.
Today is the second day of UEFA Champions League Matchday One and features the FC
Barcelona-Inter Milan showdown we've all been waiting for.

between the defending Champions League title holders and the Serie A champions.
Didier Drogba (on Inter Milan, Ancelotti, Transfer Market), Peter Cech (on Ancelotti and John

This is definitely worth your time. Simon Kuiper looks at the ages at which footballers are
likely to be at their best, when they start their peak, when they fall away.
Looking at the few elite outfield players who are 33 and over, you'll find one predictor of
longevity. These men tend to have spent their summers resting, not playing in international
tournaments like the World Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will grace World Cup 2010 after
all. Nervous chatter of the two greatest players on the planet missing next summer's showpiece
evaporated when Portugal and Argentina finally squeezed through the qualifiers at
the last hurdle.
Serie A players are planning to unlace their boots and go on strike the weekend of September
25th/26th. But in many ways that's not the big news. The big news is the reason they're going on
strike, which is to protest a proposal from Serie A club presidents that players in the final year
of their contract be forced to accept transfers, if the buying club is offering equal or better
pay.

Schalke Celebrate A First Place Finish In Their Champions League Group.
With top spot on the line for Schalke, a win was imperative in Portugal against a Benfica side
who have looked far from their best in the Champions League. Elsewhere, Werder Bremen were playing

The United States takes on the Colombian Tuesday in perhaps the least anticipated game since an
El Salvador team showed up without focus and perhaps hungover against the States' "B" team back in
February.
Can't do a Colombia preview and not show a picture of Carlos Valderrama...oh and that's Tom
Dooley next to him on the day of the 1994 World Cup win for the States.
Jose Mourinho is waiting to hear about the fitness of key man, Wesley Sneijder, who is having
problems with his right ankle.
Inter go to the Luzhniki Stadium with a slender 1-0 lead in the tie but can give themselves even
greater chances of advancing to the Semi Finals with an away goal in Moscow.
So says the NOTW this morning, who suggest it will be him, and not Ivan Cordoba, that will be
Mancini's first signing:
The Eastlands boss has quickly identified the full-back positions as problem areas for
a side that has conceded more goals than any other of the teams battling for a place in
Europe.
