    Leaving the forum...

    So here goes… FIF has been a fantastic experience for me, finally being able to share my passion for Inter with fans across the world. I've learned a lot here, but I feel like the forum is too big a part of my life, so I won't be visiting FIF in the future. The purpose of this post was simply...

    Enzo Scifo

    Was surprised to see he doesn't have a thread in this section. Here's a biography taken from ESPN and Planet WC (just to give some background on the Belgian football legend). I assume NO credit for what's written below. Scifo at Inter:

    Players you wish could've played for Inter...

    Please don't choose Maradona or Pele, try to have some originality ;) Let's also make it pre 21st century as well I'd have to go with Dino Zoff as goalkeeper; despite the fact he is a Juventus legend, he was absolutely wonderful in action Aldair would have to be my pick for the defence...

    The Campagnaro Conundrum

    I don’t think it’s a topic of contention that our defense suffers with the absence of Campagnaro. He offers necessary qualities for the success of Mazzarri’s tactics, maintaining the chemistry while increasing overall productivity in the backline. Another helpful asset is his positional sense...

    Changes in Inter Management

    If Thohir comes to Inter as President, then it’ll be interesting to see what changes he initiates in the club management. There is a lot of discussion around the fact that he’ll be looking to maximize profits out of the club, rather than put his heart into the organization (like Moratti). But...

    2013/2014 Serie A Tactical Preview

    So I just wanted to take the liberty of predicting the formations for all the teams in Serie A; it won’t be thorough, and only for bigger teams will it display substitute XIs, but certainly take it with a pinch of salt. This page will be updated as the transfer mercato progresses. Also note...

    Alessandro Capello

    It's officially been announced that Capello will join the Primavera on a 3 year contract from Bologna. In exchange, we've given half of both Bandini and Romano, and only time will tell how this deal will play out. So I'm going to use something along the lines of Browha's format to give an...

    Inter u-23: Why We Need a Platform for Player Development

    My earlier posts regarding squad changes and tactics were admittedly very ambitious, far too ambitious, but this article does not possess the same degree of hopefulness and deliriousness. Rather it attempts to confront a pressing issue that truly has a similar degree of importance as a...

    Next year PART 2: Formations and Tactics

    ***LINK TO PART ONE: CLICK HERE*** Here is my final preferred formation: 4-2-3-1 Click here for the formation So lets take a look at this tactic piece by piece. Biraghi and Peruzzi have defensive and midfield roles, not really going past the halfway line, forming a 4-man chain of defence...

    Next year PART 1: Squad Analysis

    Hello, everybody! This is a fairly long post, as is its continuation in part 2. If you don’t want to read an essay on player selection, just go to Part 2, because formations are really more important and it’s much shorter. I’ve divided this writeup into 4 predictable sections: goalkeepers...
