I know right. It’s not like I’ve been WAKING UP AT 4:30AM EVERY 3 DAYS FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS
Reminds me of that former marine that advocates waking up at 4am everyday, but much more sad and pathetic

I find it criminal that Inter never decided to go to Australia for a friendly but ended up playing in the same regions all the time.

Australia generally gets zero love when it comes to summer football games. I'd reckon the weather is actually quite good during that period as well.
It is because Australia is so far away that it is not worth the time and exhaustion. To fly from Europe to Australia is time consuming and grueling.

I am not sure the fuss and trouble would be justify the return. The other issue is that European summer friendlies take place at the height of the Australian Rules Football season and would be nothing more than a sideshow.

Personally, I think summer friendlies are a wank. I do not like the idea of paying to watch a friendly. Having said that, I would definitely go to watch Inter on the eastern seaboard if they came to Australia.

Bereszynski and Ekdal are expected to be out against Inter while Damsgaard is doubtful. If the Dane doesn't make it, Verre will take his place and D'Aversa will go for 4-4-2 with Quagliarella-Caputo as attacking duo.

I can't believe Ekdal is only 32, his hattrick against us is one of the lowest points I've ever experienced.

Reading here and there that Satriano starts this one instead of Sensi, might be interesting. He looked super green against Genoa.

Very important to keep our good start going and keep up the momentum.

Going for a 2-1 win. Dzeko with the brace.

So you're saying it will always be a good idea to have some liquor on hand?:LOL:

That barely worked in the teens.

You'll want to try something Adderall or Xanax :D

5 Italians. I can't remember when was the last time we had as many in the starting lineup. Maybe during some rotation with Rano, Gaglia, Pina, Dambro? But, not for such an important game iirc

Even though it's a bit early, GdS predicts this.

Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Brozovic; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Dimarco; Sensi; Dzeko
Despite my lack of confidence in Sensi behind Dzeko it’s the right lineup. Dono why we don’t try swapping Calhanoglu and Sensi though.

Also mainly looking forward to seeing Dimarco get his first start.

Has the time been confirmed yet? In any case it will neither be CET (we are still on CEST) nor 02:00 (most likely 14:00)
First 19 games of the season all have confirmed times.

On the paper Sensi playing behind Dzeko, actually on the pitch he playing everywhere. Free role i guess
