Udinese v Inter: Goalless

By: Martha | Comments 12 Comments

When Cesar was went off in the 21st minute after two yellows in quick succession, it looked like it was going to be a long day for Inter, particularly since Udine had been the more threatening team even when it was 11 v 11. Instead, Inter turned in their first good defensive effort since Christmas […]

Inter v Parma: Jesus Effing Christ

By: Martha | Comments 60 Comments

Jesus Christ, talk about unjust — Parma absolutely had that game won, and fully deserved the three points. Inter were utter rubbish for most of the match, giving the ball away all over the pitch and not really bothering to defend with anything resembling organization, while Parma were making life difficult, defending well for once, […]

Siena v Inter: Siena Do Not Suck

By: Martha | Comments 13 Comments

From the start of the match Siena were up to the task — they never looked even remotely intimidated, and stuck well to their game plan of limiting space in their end and countering with control when they could. Inter played some nice one-twos but never turned them into shots on goal, while at the […]

Inter v Torino: Still Rolling, Somehow

By: Martha | Comments 9 Comments

It’s amazing how many goals Inter can score even when they’re not looking very good. They didn’t create many chances against Torino today, but still ended up with a 4-0 win, most of the goals down to just taking advantage of chances that were handed to them.
In the first half, Toro were very much […]

Inter v Lazio: Poor Lazio (In More Ways Than One)

By: Martha | Comments 9 Comments

Man alive. Inter were anything but good in the first half, but ended it up 2-0 just because they put some pressure on the Lazio goal, and the Roman side just couldn’t handle it — Lazio looked pretty dire tonight.
The home side always looked most threatening, but the game started slowly and both teams […]

La Gazzetta Love Them Some Zlatan

By: Martha | Comments 9 Comments

There’s a completely fantastic article in today’s La Gazzetta in which the author (Mirko Graziano, if you want to write him a thank you note. And no, it’s not a pseudonym for me. Or RomaChris, at least as far as I know.) practically explodes with love for The Great Zlatan. There’s no holding back anymore, […]

Fiorentina v Inter: Impressive Nerazzurri

By: Martha | Comments 4 Comments

Great performance, great result for Inter; frustration and disappointment for the Viola who, after having a lot of the game in the first half, were just played off the pitch in the second. In the opening 45 minutes, Fiorentina had the majority of possession and were around the Inter box a lot, the problem was […]

Champions League: Inter, Roma Roll

By: Martha | Comments 11 Comments

That’s the first two Italian teams into the next round, then: Roma crushed Dynamo Kiev 4-1, while Inter struggled for an hour against Fenerbahce before coming out comfortably on top, 3-0.
In the first half in Milan, both teams were terribly sloppy, giving the ball away over and over and not really playing much football. Inter […]
