The big picture...

Now I hate Inter as much as the next person, they're arrogant, childish, sore losers and winners... and have trouble accepting responsibility for anything but are ready to blame everyone around them. I could go on forever but I don't have the time.

Even though they have such a negative affect on me, I do understand one thing...them getting to the Champions League final is a positive thing for Italian football. The Italian had four representatives and the first to go was Juventus, and being a Juve fan for some time, I was not surprised when they got knocked out they were going through a transitional period where they had new players and a slightly inexperienced coach. What came as a real shock was the 4-1 defeat to Fulham after being 3-1 up! But still we had AC Milan, Fiorentina and Inter until.... Milan were humiliated by Man U- who had never previously beaten the Rossoneri and Fiorentina had a great game but were knocked out on the away goal rule. Now this has left only 1 Italian team in Europe, this does not bode well for Italian football- a league that is still trying to recover after the infamous Calciopoli scandle that has tarnished it.

So I hope that Inter win...it pains me to say it but they remain Italys only hope, and if they lose, the credibility of Italian football will go down the toilet.

Mario Balotelli.....

Ahh.. where to start: He's stoppy, immature, arrogant and very young and naive. What does he think, that just because he has skills on the pitch that he's untouchable...think again little boy. I mean when you're own teammate start to attack you, maybe just maybe you should change your attitude. But not him, he believes the worlld revolves around him. Just one of the many examples of his arrogance was on display in the Champions League match against Barcelona.. that they won. First he gets angry that he was brought on as a substitution but then he doesn't even do his job. You would think since he didn't start he would try and impress the boss but he didn't even try, he acts as though they should play his way and listen to him..Newsflash Balotelli... you're still an annoying teenager and you need to know your place in the game. People who have 10 years more experience than you and have been playing the game a lot longer will not tolerate your bullshit. The simple fact he is too younge and has been pushed into the big team way too fast.. does anyone remember Antonio Cassano? Now at Sampdoria he's a hero.. Balo needs time to mature and also needs to work with a Coach who knows how to talk to him and handle him..because he could be an amazing talent but only if he is allowed to develop at his own pace and without fans chanting racists slurs at him.
