Injuries will impact the Champions League games

Soccer Tickets Online 20 October @ 08:20 AM EST

I am going through the Champions League games this week and I am amazed at the stars who will be missing because of injury. The Champions League is billed as the best club tournament in the world, but this years event so far has failed to live up to the hype. Whether it is familiarity because the same sides play each other every year, or a full schedule that leaves players vulnerable to injury, the Champions League group stages this year have been a major disappointment.

Internazionale vs FC Rubin Kazan

A match against the Champions from Russia might be exactly what the doctor ordered for Internazionale after some poor performances recently. Inter lost their first league game of the season on Saturday against Sampdoria and the week before had put in a very unconvincing match against Napoli in a 3-1 win.

Inter Milan vs Barca Preview

All About F C Barcelona 16 September @ 03:07 AM EST


FC Barcelona will kick start their defense of Champions League crown officially with the visit to San Siro tonight. This match is set to bring out some stunning re-unions, most importantly Eto and Ibrahmovic. Zlatan Ibrahmovic is set to have a very hostile reception from the Inter fans; meanwhile Eto will feel a bit awkard playing against players who were his team mates for long six years.

Gennaro’s Bad Day

Serie A Talk 01 September @ 04:30 AM EST

For AC Milan in Saturday's fabled Derby della Madonnina, Gennaro Gattuso's nightmare came true. If not for Inter's new-look, new-effect attack, poor Captain Rino would be carrying all responsibility for the unbalanced result (AC Milan 0:4 Inter).

Inter earned three (and perhaps all four) of their strikes, yet more could not have gone wrong in one half of play for the feisty AC Milan defensive midfielder as he returns from long-term injury to snatch back his position from the interloping Galaxy star, a certain D Beckham.

Inter give AC a beating in the clash of the Milans

Soccerblog 30 August @ 04:13 AM EST

The clash of the Milans proved to be a bit of an embarassment for AC Milan.Inter stormed to a four zero win.Goals from Thiago Motta, Diego Milito and Maicon gave Inter a 3-0 lead at half-time and Dejan Stankovic added a fourth midway through the second half.Mourinho,gracious in victory as usual,said with characteristic humility - "We should have scored more"

AC Milan 0-4 Inter Milan: Yes Way José, the “Real” Serie A Can Begin

mCalcio 30 August @ 03:25 AM EST

In many ways a new year of Serie A doesn't truly begin until it features one of thee Big Matches. It is often said that over the course of the season it's the the "little games", those against teams battling for relegation, that pave the road for a championship title. Often true, but the "little games" certainly are not those everyone is waiting to see.

Inter give Milan a massive wake up call

The Offside 29 August @ 04:10 PM EST
Inter recorded one of their best ever derby day wins today against rivals Milan today, as they waltzed to a 4-0 victory. Most of the pre-match build up had been about how Milan could get something, after their good opening day of the season, and Inter's dissapointing opening day draw to Bari. But there was [.

Inter supera ampliamente al Milán en el Derbi milanés

FutblogMexicano 29 August @ 03:52 PM EST

Este día se ha visto la gran diferencia que hay de un equipo a otro. Durante el verano, Milán se desmanteló, perdió jugadores importantes como Kaká, y lo peor es que no se reforzó bien. Inter también perdió a su estrella Zlatan Ibrahimovic, pero estos si se reforzaron con jugadores de calidad como Samuel Eto'o, Diego Milito, Lucio, etc.

Calcio, Serie A: Trofeo Tim di scena a Pescara. In campo Milan, Inter e Juve

CitySport...un Mondo nuovo... 14 August @ 04:29 AM EST
Stasera, allo stadio Adriatico di Pescara sar grande calcio. Infatti, Inter, Juve e Milan scenderanno in campo per la nona edizione del Trofeo Tim (la prima, nel 2001, andò al Milan che si è aggiudicato anche l'ultima manifestazione). Nonostante i tanti assenti (i giocatori appena rientrati dalle rispettive nazionali), e le frasi di facciata dei tre mister, sar un appuntamento come al solito di grande prestigio e nessuna delle tre big della Serie A di Calcio ha voglia sicuramente di sfigurare e, soprattutto, di uscire sconfitta dal campo.

Calcio, Serie A: Per Vieira profumo di Premier. Partito Ibra, idea Cassano

CitySport...un Mondo nuovo... 25 July @ 01:48 PM EST
Uno, Mourinho, tecnico della compagine nerazzurra, lo ha detto chiaramente (che non rientra nei piani dell'Inter), l'altro, il gigante francese Patrick Vieira, è pienamente a conoscenza di come andranno le cose (non avr un ruolo da protagonista), dunque meglio incominciare a valutare le offerte per poter trovare l'ambiente adatto dove rinascere a nuova vita.

Molto Calcio 16 July @ 08:12 AM EST
Brazil's captain asked to be released from his Bayern contract that had a year left and today will leave for Inter Milan.He will undergo his physical and if he passes will pen his name to a new three year deal with Inter. This is a great one year signing by Inter.But Lucio is 31 years old and hungry for a World cup. Click to continue reading...

Inter give up on Deco and Carvalho

Soccer Pie 07 July @ 03:30 AM EST

Even though Jose Mourinho was keen to bring his compatriots Deco and Carvalho to Inter, Massimo Moratti seems to have pulled the plug on the deal. Inter president said his team were strong enough and that there was no need for new signings.

Even though it seemed that Chelsea pair was on the verge of joining Inter, it now looks that the deal is off.

Players of the Season

The Offside: Italy 29 June @ 10:08 AM EST

It's been nearly a month since the end of the 2008/2009 Serie A season. I would've put this post up earlier, but the Confederations Cup and the U-21 Championship distracted me from Serie A talk. So I thought we'd discuss who was the best foreign player and who was the best Italian player this season.

Inter Milan to sign Cassano and Deco

Pro Soccer Weekly 30 May @ 12:06 AM EST
Now according to ESPN, the not so "Great One" Jose Mourinho is looking to add both Antonio Cassano and Deco to Diego Milito and Thiago Motta as Inter Milan continue to add to their collection of talented, but miscast players. Exactly how many players does this team need? Are they trying to build a third team in Milan? Click to continue reading...

An Italian Whirlwind Of Emotion

The Offside 25 May @ 09:20 AM EST
The weekend began with the best of intentions as Paolo Maldini headed for his San Siro swansong. But when teams are relegated - or pushed to the very brink of relegation - things tend to go downhill very quickly. Take, for example, Genoa and Torino, who embarked on a full out brawl following the former's 3-2 [. Click to continue reading...

Preziosi annuncia: "Motta e Milito sono dell'Inter". Acquafresca-Floccari la nuova coppia gol rossoblu

CitySport...un Mondo nuovo... 21 May @ 04:08 AM EST
"We are Genoa", una trasmissione regionale della Liguria, dove è intervenuto il "re dei giocattoli" e presidente del Genoa, Enrico Preziosi, avr sicuramente raggiunto, in queste ore, uno share spaventoso. Infatti, durante il programma, dedicato interamente alla squadra rossoblu, il patron genoano ha annunciato la chiusura di due trattative importanti in uscita (destinazione Inter) e una in entrata: "Per avere una squadra forte dobbiamo soffrire più di altri, perciò ci vuole merce di scambio.

Transfer Talk: Funny Money Abound.

The Offside 20 May @ 04:19 PM EST
Man City have denied making a €150m bid to for one Lionel Messi, activating his buyout clause. A bid which wouldn't bat a solitary eye. You know...no one's actually supposed to be able to use those clauses. They're strictly prohibitive measures. Barcelona will supposedly raid London, bringing Cesc back home and extraditing Ashley Cole. Click to continue reading...

La vittoria nel derby è stata una sorta di rinascita. Come la Fenice è risorta dalle proprie ceneri, così l'Aquila biancoceleste è tornata a volare grazie ai tre punti conquistati ai danni dei giallorossi, chiudendo (definitivamente?) con un passato abbastanza deludente, cominciato proprio a partire dalla sconfitta nella stracittadina d'andata.

There were signs and banners like this all over the stadiums of Serie A this weekend showing support to the region of Abruzzo and all of those poor people that have to go through this tragedy that was the earthquake. Many teams donated their revenue from Sunday's games to Abruzzo and Fiorentina defender Luciano Zauri (born near L'Aquila where the earthquake hit) started a collection amongst footballers.
