Re-watched the first half right now, a couple of notes:
Samir Handanovic kept us in the match the first 10-15 minutes, as well as in 1st half injury time. That save on Vidal was clutch. Anyway you cut it, we are nowhere without the 1-2 key saves he made in the first half. That decision to come out slightly vs. Marchisio made the angle that much closer for him. Excellent decision making. He had one bad mistake when he didn't throw the ball out correctly and it went straight to the opposition but his shot stopping was very good.
Walter Gargano was slated throughout much of the match. I agree that overall he had a poor game. His range of passing was an utter disaster, but one thing I really admired about his "performance" was that he never gave up. As a coach you know that some games some players will have off nights. Gargano was off with the offensive part of his game. But if you re-watch the first half you will see how much ground he actually covered. It was an impressive way to rebound throughout the half.
Nagatomo was another player slated for his performance in the first half. After watching the first half again, I would say he was one of our more consistent threats down the left. He made the right decisions when he needed to and I thought he was a lot better than what people said. Granted, I am not judging him on his past performances in an Inter shirt which is where people might get the bias. Outside of the mistake he made at the end of the first half when he started going out wide to give Vidal an open shot (granted this could have been a grave mistake), his bombs forward were excellent, and when he saw he didn't have options he played the ball to Cambi, Cassano or Juan.
One last thing.... Juan Jesus was amazing in the first half. Again outside that mistake at the end of the first half I thought his composure alongside Samuel was brilliant. Very calm on the ball and excellent in that tackle. The interception he made on the Vidal cutback was nicely done, and I feel like out of him and Ranocchia he definitely showed more in the first half.
Off to watch the 2nd half...

Just finished the 2nd half... Oh, how the game differs when you are cheering for pure adrenaline, and when you watch it without the emotional context when you're analyzing it.
A couple of brief 2nd half notes:
The key tactical change for me from the 45th to the 70th minute was Palacio. You could visibly see him more often than not playing behind Cassano and Milito trying to do as much as he could to stifle Pirlo. A lot of what was predicted tactically by us before the game (Palacio playing behind Cassano and Milito) happened in the 2nd half. You could see how much more composure that gave Gargano and Cambiasso to conduct themselves.
Zanetti. What more can be said about a perfect career? He truly took Asamoah to the cleners. The Ghanaian never got past him. They went against each other 4 times in the 2nd half and every time it was text book. If anyone needs to understand how to play as a full back, watch Zanetti in the 2nd half. That was text book as you're going to get. And Asamoah is no slouch either... he is in the form of his life, pacey, and even though he prefers to play more centrally he is as about as hard of an assignment as you're going to get defensively in terms of acceleration.
After Guarin came on Cassano, the game changed completely. We shifted personnel with Palacio playing slightly off of Milito on the left and Guarin just in front of the pairing of Gargano and Cambiasso. Guarin picked up Palacio's defensive duties (slightly deeper) and continued to mark Pirlo. Palacio starting playing across the the width of the park while Milito continued to feed off of his teammates.
It was impressive to watch, and I must say it looks like it was planned from Strama. He rolled the dice at the beginning of the 2nd half with a slight tweak and it paid off.
Forza Nerazurri!

As long you have in your heart the spirit and the soul of inter, no voice is needed, but damn 45 euro is really cheap, for this kind of games, at the end of the game when it was 2-1 and then 3-1 i could hear inter fans chanting, it was so amazing, how they shut op, and sometimes i even heard Rube fans were chanting, vaffanculo and merda to us, but i am glad they got silents and they deserve this lose.

Rubentus Stadium has the most expensive prices of Italy, the same ticket in San Siro is 25 euros
Nothing to do, Rubentus has the thievery in its DNA

10 years of FIFFantastic game by Inter! Congratulations ALL!!! :slick::derpcry:
:awwwyeah:
Just wanted to share some info, according to the narrator of the game before this game, 26 times had Inter and Juve played before being both of them in the first two spots in the league, and the second place NEVER won that game. This is the first time in History the 2nd place beats the leader!!! :derpcry::slick:

You could argue what was the more right decision: Firing Ranieri? Or hiring Strama?Let's not forget Strama came in last year, after Ranieri lost to Juventus. Im thinking it was the right decision
Just kidding.

What would we expect from a belligerent JuBentus fan that has a bad Vidal haircut and coke bottle sunglasses and can't see three feet in front of him.
Wait a second...this guy was probably the linesman that allowed Vidal's goal.

To me, this game in their stadium breaking their streak, the game at Stamford Bridge in 2010 and the 3-1 first leg against Barcelona at home are the biggest games in recent memory for me, where the club has played its best against quality competition. Even more so than than the CL Final in Madrid.anyone thinking 3-1 comeback at san siro against barcelona in 2010? I have that game on my computer, I watch it every time I feel like shit. Now I'll replace it with this

10 years of FIFsomething is wrong with me, i want milan to beat jube as well lol. My hate for jube is much > my hate for milan. still hate both of them, milan not so much atm, i dont care abou thtem as long as they finish below us and we beat them in the second leg. The first leg was a bs win for us imo, we have to beat them by fair means, by that i mean convincingly. We did not deserve to win that game, which pissed me off but i will take the win.

I dont care if its luck win or not, in foobtall you need that, and for me that Victory is as important as the rube win, so saying even if we did play bad an won, then bravo inter, as what will we do when we really tick, and win all the game with style. everything has its own way to win a game, cant expect to be the same every year or every match to be the same speed and power. After all we are humen

I am up at 3:00 am for no good reason, two and a half days after this glorious win and still can't wipe the smile off my face. All I can think about was this huge freaking win.
