...And THAT'S exactly why Inter is not a true Italian team.

Alessio I couldn't stand seeing those logos anymore each time I came to the site. Sorry, but I changed it around.

de rossi, aquilani, perrotta, brighi, motta, curci, andreolli and totti (lippi will be selecting him for 2010).

looks pretty close to the your formulated quota for juve. makes no difference if we happen to have good players playing on other nt.
Paolo

haha this was pretty funny. Can't believe I almost missed it.

It's old news now but I guess it is worth mentioning that IN THIS GAME Italy were appalling and embarrassing thanks, in large part, to the beloved possessions of Milan and Juve :P

I blame Lippi though!

And lastly- Molinaro voted Best Player in January by Members

The best player for the month of January is Cristian Molinaro. The members voted on line on the website dedicated to them. The Juventus defender is having a great season will receive the prize before the Juve-Sampdoria match by a delegation of members.

As per schedule, while taking advantage of the return of all international players to Turin, the Juventus medical staff published its usual bulletin. Directly from the words of Dr Riccardo Agricola, interviewed on Juventus Channel.

The most important bit of news regards Paolo De Ceglie. Eight days after the bad injury suffered during the Coppa Italia match against Napoli, the young player from Valle D’Aosta was discharged from the Fornaca clinic and returned home. His conditions are satisfactory and the pneumo-thoraic problem is nearly completely healed. Next week other tests are due. If the results show a total recovery of the player, it will be time for a 30 day period prior to a return to work.

In view of Sunday’s match against Sampdoria, Mr Ranieri will not be able to count on Momo Sissoko. The Mali midfielder is suffering of a contortion/distortion of his leg. He will take advantage of the coming days to recover completely and will be back with the team on Monday.

Giorgio Chiellini is doing well. The defender was on the field for most of the match against Chisola and his return on the field is now close.

The conditions of Knezevic and Zebina are improving. Both players underwent a biomechanical test on Monday in Perugia under Professor Cerulli. The recovery of both players is progressing well. The Croatian should be back with the team during this week whereas the Frenchman should be back during the next.

Having the possibility to interact directly with one of your favourite champions does not happen every day. Today it happened and Members chatted for about 40 minutes with one of the new idols of the Juventus fans.

Momo Sissoko was very nice and witty and tried to satisfy all the curiosities of the fans. To those who asked him what effect do the chants in his honour leave on him he answered: «They give me an additional boost».So go like this boys! A question about superstition: «I do not do anything in particular before going on the field – he answered – the only thing I always do is pray». Then came the questions about the many nicknames given him (my favourite is “piovra” (octopus), I find it cute) and about the choice of number («It wasn’t by chance. It is the same I had at Liverpool»). Speaking of his experience in England he spoke of the change in role: «At Auxerre I played as second striker then Benitez at Liverpool shifted me to the midfield».A question about the best opponent («Pirlo») and best attacker, Juventus players apart, he ever played against («Kakà») were inevitable.

Sissoko spoke of his life in Turin («I don’t go out much. I prefer staying at home with my family»), of his interests besides football («I watch basketball on TV and listen to R&B music»), of his favourite foods («Between couscous and pasta? I like both but lately I’ve been eating more of the second») and made a young female footballer happy by answering her question about the pre-match menu («pasta and cutlets») only for her to discover that it’s the same as hers!

Momo concluded by wishing his team-mates good luck for Sunday’s match: «Unfortunatley I will not be there but I hope to return for the match against Palermo. We are in good condition as the victory last Sunday showed and therefore we must win against Sampdoria»

Okaka and Totti won't be wearing the Azzurri within the next 2-3 years...it was all about the ratio, asem. you were supplying as many selecao players as azzurri! lame.

who cares about 3rd v. 4th.....it's all about making the scudetto race interesting. err thats a bad word, fascinating.
asem

Kinda cheering for Inter (vomit) b/c it would let us cut down on the points between us and 3rd. Though a draw would suffice...
asem

"...but we also have 7-8 players who are either Azzurri players or are about to break in. Legro, Buffon, Camoranesi, Iaquinta, Chiellini, Marchisio, maybe even Marchionni someday given Italy’s lack of wingers."

DDR, Aqui, Perrotta, Motta, Okaka, Totti??????
Hahhaa
It's true, y'all are supplying more players for La Nazionale...

So Samp this weekend, eh?
Another W, or what?
alessio

I doubt there was ever much doubt, but this weekend we Juventini have even more incentive to cheer for Milan in the derby, cut the points down. We just need to do our part with Sampdoria, who has proven to be a tricky devil since the return to Serie A. 2 0-0 draws, and a 3-3 draw.
Nnahoj

This is not the first time you've brought it up; I can guarantee that.

You're right though, it is a moot point. But Inter has consistently turned out teams without Italians and, though we know its "Internazionale", a little bit of patriotism wouldn't kill. Like you said, Inter has had great Italian players in the past, so why the almost complete lack of them now? At least Santon is getting some playing time.

Either way, Inter is still shit. So...whatever...
MAD

Not true, but then again what does it matter, really.

This is the first post I can remember writing bringing up Inter's contribution to the National Team, ever. I might have mentioned on the Inter blog a few specific players, but not like this.

It wasn't a lecture either. It was a sarcastic reply to someone who has no idea what they're saying. The fact that it's a Milan supporter the week of the derby is sauce for the goose.
Nnahoj

Obviously it does bother you, as everytime someone mentions it you lecture us on how integral Inter as been to La Nazionale and blah blah blah.
MAD

Making ignorant statements is always at your own expense. Doesn't bother us. I just like explaining why we laugh at you.
Nnahoj

"But what do you need all those things for? You are much more comfortable making blanket ignorant statements…"

Yep! That's about right. Especially at Inter's expense.
Dave

Yeah we were forced to change our name to Ambrosiana by the fascist regime. Terrible
HolyMann

hahahahaha, MAD, all else aside, considering im a Juventini, your last comment cracked me up "I don’t know about the Hitler liking Inter thing. I always see him photographed in black and white…", hahaha, so it's true...u Interista really do have humor :)
MAD

They were thinking, "make the crazy fascist happy so he doesn't kill us."

I don't know about the Hitler liking Inter thing. I always see him photographed in black and white...
Johonna

Er, Adam, I think he was an Ambrosiana fan.

(I am an Inter fan and even I think that is a stupid name for a football club. What were they thinking!)
alessio

Quite obviously.

Godwin's law ftw, adam.

And speaking of world leaders, Hitler was an Interista.

Come on people lighten up, everythings funny when it come to Inter.

Btw all Juventini, the piccoli gobbi are doing quite well.

Viareggio Cup: Juventus march on

Juventus showed they meant business right from the start. In fact the first saw the bianconeri clearly superior to Parma going close to scoring on a number of occasions thanks to Immobile, Esposito and Daud. Particularly good attempt on the 15th minute when a Rossi free-kick saw the ball put brilliantly into the area with Immobile trying to put the ball in the back of the net and being denied so only by the Parma goalkeeper who performed nothing short of a miracle.

The second half saw Parma try to react but Massimiliano Maddaloni’s boys kept control of the match going close to opening the score a number of times. It was however on the 75th minute that Daud put the ball at the back of Gasparri’s net with a conclusion similar to one of the two scored in the first match against Maccabi Haifa. The rest of the match saw the bianconeri going close to their second goal a number of times.

With the victory against Parma, Juventus are now sole-leaders of Group 2 putting series weight on the qualification to the next round. In the other match Maccabi Haifa beat Frosinone 2-1.

Maddaloni’s boys will play their final match in the group stage against Frosinone on Friday.

"well, relatively, comparing the football world to the real world, i’d say Alessio was right to do so “likened your club to two of the most brutal, crazed dictators the world has ever seen”.
i hope he didn’t hurt your feeling though…."

Now look who can't take a joke.
alessio

Haha, lighten up people. It was 50% joke.

Asem, I only mentioned the players who played. Hence no Cicinho, Kaka, etc.

It's not about what composes the squad, it was more about the fact that most of these big Italian squads are aiding a SINGLE direct rival more than their own Nazionale! Yes, Juve has a Brazilian (who I still hope plays for Brazil) but we also have 7-8 players who are either Azzurri players or are about to break in. Legro, Buffon, Camoranesi, Iaquinta, Chiellini, Marchisio, maybe even Marchionni someday given Italy's lack of wingers.
HolyMann

i hope he didn't hurt your feeling though....
MAD

Actually, some to think of it, this past November, he likened our club to two of the most brutal, crazed dictators the world has ever seen.

Which would make us, by association, supporters of mass murders, political assassinations and some of the worst atrocities known to man.

... instead of regular people cheering for, you know, a football team in black and blue kits.

So calling us traitors is probably an indication that he's mellowing out on the beaches of Malaga or something.
MAD

"Good to see there’s at least ONE Interista with a sense of humour here."

Alessio's post didn't bother me, I just thought it was par for the course. He called us all a piece of shit this summer, so calling us traitors is almost a term of endearment.

The Milanista who can't count I thought was damn funny, and I said so, in my own way.
Johonna

Wow. Talk about bad grammar. Yikes.
Johonna

Hate to tell you, but that is the reason Camoranesi got his passport. Camoranesi did not get called up until 2003 but had his passport long before then.

As for our Argies and their citizenship: all are married to Italian women and are raising their children in Italy. Cambiasso's grandparents still live somewhere near Genoa. All are invested in Italy and are every bit a citizen. True, they were called up to play for Argentina to play for their national team, but what do you bet Camo would have played for Argentina in a heart beat had they called? I say he would have jumped on the chance (and I wish I could find that quote I just read from way back when where he pretty much says that).

In any event, I dont care where Camo is from. If he wants to be Italian, great! He can be Italian. I only brought him up to show that there is a bit of a double standard - if they play for Juve then dual citizens are Italian, if they play for someone else, then they are not. I hate double standards.
adam

Lol Johonna, good one. Balotelli, Santon, Materazzi, and Toldo only contribute by keeping the bench warm.

And the difference between Camoranesi and your Argies is that Camoranesi has an Italian citizenship because he wants to play for Italy, the country he feels home to. Your Argies on the other hand have citizenship because you can only have so many NON-EU players in a squad.
HolyMann

Johonna, eventhough Camoranesi contributes to the Italin and not Argentenian team, i guess u have a point...he shouldnt count as Italian...
Marco P.

LMAO Alessio. Great post.

Alessio, your Brazilian wanted to play but Juve wouldn’t let him. He should at least be guilty of thought crimes.

And great response by Johonna. Good to see there's at least ONE Interista with a sense of humour here.
Johonna

True. They play for Argentina but they are just as Italian as Camoranesi. If he counts, they count. Vincent said Inter didn't have any Italians and I say we do.

And no, it doesn't matter.
HolyMann

ummm, Johonna, last time i checked, Crespo, Cambiasso and Zanetti all play for Argentina and not Italy if im not mistaken. and 4 italians on ur team does not contribute to "lots of italians".

Not that it matters, though
Johonna

And Vincent, Inter have lots of Italians on our team:
Balotelli
Santon
Materazzi
Toldo

Plus our naturalized Italians (like Camoranesi):
Crespo
Cambiasso
Zanetti

Not that it maters, though.
Johonna

Alessio, your Brazilian wanted to play but Juve wouldn't let him.

He should at least be guilty of thought crimes.

"However, I won’t deny that Juventus has always heavily influenced the Italian national team, but so have Milan and Roma."

I am going to guess that this is probably written by someone who has only watched the game in *this* century. And it can really only be the most recent World Cup that he's referring to. Because the inference here is that these other 2 teams *have always heavily* influenced the National team but that Inter has not, ever apparently.

It should come as no surprise that when it comes to the Italian National team, with the exception of Juventus, no team has stocked it with more players than Inter.

In fact there are about 5 Italian World Cup teams that I can think of, off the top of my head, in which Inter has had as many or more players as Milan and Roma COMBINED.

It might interest people to know that FIFA has a web page that lists all the players that ever played in a World Cup, and that there's a number of sources that can be used to cross reference the players names and the club team they come from.

But what do you need all those things for? You are much more comfortable making blanket ignorant statements... that actually prove the opposite of what you are trying to say.

So thanks for proving the opposite of your own statement. It was very amusing... to me and everyone I had to show it to as an example of Milan intelligence.
