Best of Inter (2000-2009)

[Nyall]

What the fuck, there's one week left in the decade and there's no polls no reviews or anything relating the best of Inter this decade. This was the second greatest decade in our history and I feel it should not just pass away.

So I was thinking that everyone here should just post there favorite moment, goal, game, player, jersey, or anything relevant related to Inter here just so maybe if this place is still around in the year 2020 we could come back to here and look back at these moments or whatever....

I'll start.

My Favorite Moment

Thank you Zlatan



My Favorite Goal

Il Capitano at his finest!

Special Mention to this one as well..


and this, it's just a header but the emotion behind it, is one of the main reasons why I love this goal.




My Favorite Game

Stupid whore of a game, had me in tears up till the 90th minute.

and also this:

Haha BBeeelan!


My Favorite Player
Zlatan Ibrahimovic -- I hate him now but in our colors I would be lying if I told you I didn't idolize him.

I also liked, Adriano, as well.


My Favorite Jersey

It's gorgeous!



Your turn, also feel free to add any other categories if the need be... I look forward to reading your Inter experiences of this decade...

[Sneijder<3]

just got that jersey for christmas today

[Suneet]

Favorite moment has to be first Scudetto on the pitch.

[milton]

it's been a pretty good decade thanks to our recent scudettos, but not winning anything in europe has been very disappointing. The best moment was ibra's double against parma to give us our 16th scudetto, the worst may 5 2002.

my inter dream team of the 2000's would be:

------------------------------j. cesar-----------------------------
maicon---------samuel----------------materazzi(06/07)------zanetti
----------------------------cambiasso--------------------------------
------veron(04/05)-----------------------------sneijder-----------
---------------------------baggio(2000)----------------------------
----------------ibra(07/08)--------ronaldo(01/02)----------------

[lonewolf19]

Nyall, +1 great post. I will share mine soon but you already many of my favorites down.

[brehme1989]

My favourite/best eleven:

-------------------------Toldo
Maicon-----Samuel--------Cordoba-------Zanetti
--------------------Stankovic--------Cambiasso
-----------------------------Veron
----------------Ibrahimovic-----Vieri---Adriano

Unfortunately our midfield has never been top class.

[jmaster]

Thanks for posting these beautiful moments mate . FORZA INTER!

[n4l]

this to me will be one of the best moments of the decade, since I went to a bar in NYC to watch it and it was over 30+ bbilanista's and only me supporting Inter....
i got kicked out of the bar for acting like a crazy man and shouting "fuck milan" after the goal......lmao



best game(s) for me were that game above


and this game.


and deki's goal in this game was absurd....

can't really pick a best goal as we've had some really quality goals (deki has a lot, adri has some, ibra has some, maicon has a thunderbolt e.t.c) but in terms of sheer importance/moments, the zanetti goal, recoba has a couple, that adri goal against milan and the balotelli goals against juve were really good..

and i actually like the jersey from 08 with the gold Pirelli logo...

[Bes]

C'mon guys, give your thoughts too. Nice start Nyall!

My Favorite Moment



Can't say which was better tho.

My Favorite Goal

There's a lot of them. Firstly, Ibra's backheel goals against Bologna:


Ibra's free kick goal against Viola:

Zanetti's great goal v Roma(Maybe the best):


My Favorite Game




My Favorite Player

Ibra. Adriano.

My Favorite Jersey

[Besnik]

My Favorite Moment


My Favorite Goal
There's a lot of fantastic goals, especially scored by Ibra.


My Favorite Game


My Favorite Player
Zlatan 'Ibracadabra' Ibrahimovic - I can't hide my love for him, but he was the reason that we win first tittle after 14 years, and now we continued to win more scudettos, for me Ibra is genius, is everything.

My Favorite Jersey


Forza Inter per sempre!!

[Kato]

best moments..

Inter 3-2 Milan

Inter 4-3 Milan - Saw this one live with Frisko, amazing night.

Beating Parma for the scudetto, almost left me with a heart attack

Fave players - Zanetti, of course.. Ibra once I stopped hating him.. and Adriano for his early magic

Fave jersey



Has to be this one, though to be honest there havent been many/any I didn't like

All in all, what an amazing decade, at the start of it we lose 6-0 to Milan, at the end we win 4-0.. Oh how times change things

[TelmoEsteves24]

Figo's free kick vs Roma was awesome.

[Sassuolu]

Hmm favourite moments:

Milan 0-4 Inter
Inter 3-2 Milan
Inter 4-3 Milan (was my birthday that day went insane)
Ibrahimovic scoring those two goals for the 16th Scudetto.
I loved the 5-1 mauling of Valencia.
The 3-0 win in Highbury was also pretty great from the Cuper era.
Inter 3-2 Sampdoria NULLA E IMPOSSIBILE
Juve in Serie B (not an Inter moment but still fucking great )

The Worst moments:
Losing to Milan in the semi final of the Champions League
Losing 6-2 to Roma in the first leg of the final of the Coppa Italia really sucked imo, I never like seeing Inter lose a game in that manner.
Villareal, Valencia, Liverpool, need I say more?
5th May 2002 obviously.

My best eleven for the decade:

(4-3-1-2) Julio Cesar - Maicon - Samuel - Cordoba - Zanetti - Cambiasso - Stankovic - Emre - Figo - Ibrahimovic - Vieri

Manager: Roberto Mancini

My favourite shirt has to be this season's away kit and the centenary kit.

Oh and best goal of the decade, Ibrahimovic against Bologna but I'd like to give a special mention to Motta's goal in the derby which had amazing build up the likes of which we rarely see with Inter.

[Ultra]

Balotellis freekick against Rubin Kazan!

[Alex de Large]

This.
It made my day, week and month haha
I believe we started to have a strong and winning mentality after win this game.

[Handoyo]

Nyall, great thread. Very very hard to do and there may seem some moments that I miss but here goes nothing.

Best moments (Not-match wise)
1) The Calciopoli verdict
2) Signing Samuel (He is one of my favorite defenders in the world)
3) Milan in UEFA Cup in 08/09

Best moments (Match-wise)
1) Siena - Inter 06/07 --- The first ever title won on the field
2) Juventus - Inter 03/04 --- Juve were on record breaking pace that season, we haven't won at the Delle Alpi for decades and just lost to Arsenal 1-5, I had zero, had I had MINUS expectation for that match
3) Inter - Milan 3-2 --- First Derby win after 10 Derbies

Best players
1) Javier Zanetti --- May not be the most outstanding player but his presence is eternal
2) Zlatan Ibrahimovic --- The most outstanding player of the decade, although he only spent 3 seasons with us
3) Ivan Cordoba --- Again, he is one of the few pillars of Inter throughout the decade despite not being the most outstanding

Best goals
1) Zlatan vs Bologna 08/09, that backheel goal was just insane
2) Zlatan vs Torino 06/07, Van Basten eat your heart out
3) Zlatan vs Palermo 08/09, the free-kick that Dr. Ehsan explained

Best goals (Non-Zlatan version)
1) Emre vs Lazio, audacious!
2) Recoba vs Atalanta, a brilliant curler after a Cryuff turn
3) Maicon vs Milan, may not seem as spectacular as Motta's but we strung 20+ passes before the finishing blow

Best jerseys
1) The diagonal stripe on 02/03 away jersey
2) The 01/02 home jersey that has the yellow lining in it (One of my biggest regret as an Inter fan is to not buy this jersey)
3) The 04/05 European jersey

[Il Muro]

Vieri beating Valencia almost single handedly.
