Hi All,
I hope this is going to be a great place for all of out guests from Italy to discuss the clashes of pot a and b in group B!
Of course I would love to see Werder kick Inter butt but I guess if we are realistic this is not going to happen. On the other hand be sure that Werder with Frings, Diego, Jensen and Piza are going to put up a great fight and if Inter has a mediocre day Werder might humiliate the Italian champion! Werder is not the Team it was 3,5 years ago. 5x Champions League in a row hopefully changes things and if all goes well and we don`t get a red card after three minutes of the game again things might be different this champions league season!
Lets start with a little bit of general information about Inter form the F.C. Internazionale Milano wikipedia article:
Code:
Football Club Internazionale Milano, most commonly referred to as simply Internazionale, or Inter[1], is an Italian professional football club based in Milan, Lombardy, founded in 1908. The club are the only side in Italian football to have spent their entire history in the top tier (Serie A). Internazionale, who play in black and blue striped shirts with black shorts, have sixteen Serie A titles to their name; only their rivals Juventus and Milan have won more. Including the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup, Inter have a total of 25 trophies won in Italy.
Outside of their homeland, the club have also had success in European and World tournaments; they won the European Cup in two successive finals during 1963–64 and 1964–65. They have also won the UEFA Cup three times and the World Club Championship twice. Additionally, Inter was one of founding members of the G-14, a group that formerly represented eighteen of the largest and most prestigious[2] European football clubs.
Inter play their home games at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, also known as San Siro. The ground, which they share with rivals AC Milan, is the largest in Italian football, with a total capacity of 82,955.[3]
