Inter vs Juventus

A game that had all the ingredients of being a good watch, it had drama, intrigue but above all good football by Juventus. Inter had spent the week before spreading doubt in the minds of referees, they has been moaning and complaining about how referees were to willing to give free kicks and penalties against them, and that doubt had grow in their minds and thus, Juve were denied a clear penalty just before half time when Inter keeper Luca Casstellazzi came running out the goal and brought down Claudio Marchisio, who has a flair for the dramatic goals. Not only that, but five Juve players got yellow cards, this was classic Inter behaviour, when it looks like they're losing they try to take down as many opposing players as they can, they will try anything from grabbing their face and going down to clearly antagonising the opposing player to get him sent off. But Inters childish behaviour doesn't stop at that, they whine to the referee when a decision doesn't go their way, so much so that Wesley Sneijder should have had two yellow by the end of the match, he was substitute late on probably for that reason and the youngster Ricky Alvarez was brought on, which did cause Juve some problems as by this point they were all exhausted!

The Old Lady could have been atleast 3 up before half time as they wasted opportunities again and again. The first goal came from Mirku Vucinic in the 12th minute, he had been in the right place when Alessandro Matri's shot was saved. It then took Inter till the 38th minute to get the equaliser and when he did the home fans went wild, and it was clear by Maicon's celebration what the goal had meant. But Inter were poor in defence, and if they want to win anything they have to take a look at this as it was becoming childsplay for Juve, but still Juve were not as decisive as they should be upfront. It didn't take Juve long however, as in the 33rd minute Marchisio put Juve infront yet again. He had been everywhere, running himself into the ground and working hard for the team. The 25 year old has really come into his prime but his still has a tendency to accumelate the cards, he had already had three this season and another would have seen him suspended for the game against Napoli.

Inter are in real trouble as they are dangerously close to the relegation zone and Juve have retained their place on the top, but only by two points, so I don't want to see complacency by my team as the other team from Milan are breathing down our neck!
