Notice who's sporting the Italia World Cup Champs tee, in honor of the day's final leg of the Copa Italia. In the end, it was all hugs and kisses...
speaking of the Copa Italia, gotta give my Inter boys props for a valiant effort at Guiseppe Meazza Stadium yesterday. Chasing an insurmountable 6-2 aggregate from the 1st leg, they came out absolutely flying - a full on assault on the Roma net for the first 30 minutes. Probably most impressive effort I've seen outta them since the first Milan derby in which they won 4-3 last fall.
Playing without stud striker Ibrahimovic (inj) and my boy Materazzi (susp), Inter fans had to be impressed with the effort. Luis Figo was running around like an 18 year old, Hernan Crespo was the inspiration leader again, Ray Hudson providing the passionate commentary...it was truly fun to watch.
Read Captain Javier Zanetti's comments, here.
And here's some pretty stellar pictures of the match, via the Inter website.
I'd LOVE to get another year outta Luis Figo. Dude's the MAN, and I hardly got to know him.
If we would've got a bit of luck, perhaps a bounce or two in that 1st half...or if they would've called the PK on Roma's mugging of Stankovic inside the box, maybe it would've been a different story. So in the end, they came up a bit short, but hats off for the brave, gutsy effort boys.
A win this Sunday against Atalanta, and they take down Torino's 60 year old record of most wins in a season (29). Viva Nerazzuri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
