Welcome to the forums josigod, glad to have you on board.

I live in Canada, so I am familiar with the Babe curse. It's kind of funny, because Boston traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees for cash, and then he went on to be one of the best players ever, they regretted it for years. But they broke it last year in style, coming back from 3-0 to win 4-3, that takes gutts!

About Inter, I too believed in that, but you know what, it's not true. Think about it, what are the reasons we think of a curse? Incredible losses, High-Profile players failings, Selling excellent players before giving them the chance etc...

What I realized is that these problems happen with all the teams, difference is that they are noticed when there is success. Our lack of success is due in part to the corruption of Serie A. We are the only team amongst the big three who don't have real powers other than our money.

Juve's cheatings are legendary, and Milan have a very strong influence with their GM (President of Lega Calcio!!!!) and Owner (PM of Italy.) Those two scums get ridiculous favours. Think about it, they struggle in games, and then get a favourable call either in a PK, a disallowed goal for opposition, ridiculous extra time or lack of it etc...

When is the last time we won thanks to a favour? NEVER, at least not in the last 6 years I've followed this club regularly. If anything, we got screwed big times thanks to some dubious decisions.

So that's pretty much it. Few remember that Rivaldo was a huge star and at the peak of his career when he joined AC and failed miserabley, they also ended Bierhoff's and Javi Moreno's careers. Two players that were on the rise when joining Milan. Not to mention rejects who achieved great results elsewhere, such as Ayala (best defender in the world in the last 5 years), Davids, Vieira (one of the best CM's ever), Kluivert.

However, everybody talks day and night about Pirlo (really overrated, and really one-dimensional) Seedorf (raw player, good physique and zero technique), Mutu and Ferrari (two blunders, but great blunders in hindsight) etc...

So, it's not a curse as much as it's lack of power. Trust me, if we won something, nobody would ever talk about those things. Just like they don't with Milan and Juve.

We are definitely cursed!!

 

[Hammoudi]

All teams are, but they don't get the media attention. Our miniscule problems are always magnified. Just wait until we win something, and then all the talk would disappear.

hey there canada..thanks for welcoming me here..it's my pleasure to meet all inter fans around the world..this forum is great thing...so..let me get to the topic..i know everything what u saying..i understand all the favour to Juve and Milan...when it comes to power...btu when i am talking about cursed..i really mean it..think about it...how is possible we lost games like that to milan..i mean that's not even possible..with one shot on goal u loe game...that's ridiculos...how come dida is such a great when it comes to inter...how come???....how come milan loses match with stupid team like Siena...and how come juve scores such an easy goals..and milan too...i mean,i am folowoing inter 15 years now...and we fail for stupid reason..every team have weekneses but still have enough luck to win..and we????...think about it...every year we complain for differetn things..we fix themmmand stll next year something else will come along the way somewhere,somehow...how come bad things happand to us very consistent???...why?...now..i know we have pretty bad transfer managment..i mean i dont want to even talk about branca and oriali..they'r just ridiculos...they dont deserve anything....how come roma stole chivu from us wothout having a penny???..u know what i am saying..and not to mantion nesta...branca is shame for us...but still he's is not playing...and how much perfect we need to be to win something?

 

[Hammoudi]

Well Josigod -is that your name or is it Jose- I understand your points. But the cursed theory is the quickest way to find a self-satisfying excuse.

For example, we lost to Milan because of Mancini's tactics, specially in the first leg. He played with Veron and Stan as winger when they completely suck there. We saw how playing with two pure wingers made us better, and we saw how Milan lost to Siena because of crosses from wings.

About the transfers, I have to agree that Branca and Oriali aren't cutting it with us. But it's not their fault completely, sometimes the coaching staff and Moratti interfer. In Chivu's case, I believe it was Cuper's decision not to get him. He knew that we had Canna and Cordoba and getting another similar player would be a waste of time.

About Nesta, there is a very popular story going around that Galliani threatened Cragnotti that he would relegate Lazio due to their financial trouble if they didn't sell them Nesta. I tend to believe that, we were willing to pay Lazio, but I guess it wasn't about money after all.

Also, sometimes Moratti interferes in the dealings. I am sur the Batistuta mistake was becaue of him, he wanted him and got him when it was a disasterous choice.

So, as you can see, there is a logical explanation for many things. I too believed in the cursed theory, but looking deeper at things make you realize that there are real reasons after all!

my name is Joseph....anyway..i know what u saying..belive it or not..there is nothing what i think thru all day exept inter..i am adicted to inter like nobody else...i take it very personal..but let me explain a fact...everything about the transfers is not curse,..i know that..it;s bad managment..but whe u talking about tactics..think about it...is there any tactic in the world that inter didnt use?..i mean..whe we were defensive..they say bad tactic..now we r ofensive it's still bad..so?....and we r not only team to play players out of position..fresh example...seedorf is not a winger..right?..maldini is not a central defender?...gattuso is not right midfilder?...so..who pplayed in middfild for milan?..kaka and pirlo..and they both suck on defense but they still managed to win a game..how ..luckly..that's where i am coming ffom..why it happans only to inter that we have to mention the bad tactics..that the last think we should think about it..beacouse everytime now and then uses bad tacticts..and still wining..like juve and milan...it's just frustrating budie

 

[Hammoudi]

Great to hear of your inter passion, must be frustrating to live in North America. I don't know about Dallas, but here nobody cares about soccer like back home.

Anyway, we have a problem with continuity. Moratti is an impatient man, just look at how he fires and hires coaches, it's the stuff of legends.

However, I am optimistic now. Mancini is the man for us, Moratti will not fire him, not at least for the next two seasons, I am positive from that. We will do it brother, don't worry. Let's just get a great CD, LW, LB and we are set.

With guys like Cordoba, JZ, Cambiasso and Adriano, we will win. My only fear is from those corrupt refs in serie A, I don't know why doesn't Moratti threaten to pull out Inter if Serie A doesn't get its act together.

 

[InterFCAustin]

beacouse i have a feeling that moratti i just another milan or juve player...i dont like him..not anymore...well...i am from europe orignaly...and i have seen a few guys here that know about inter..and i was trying to form an inter fan club here...i contacted the guy from inter.it..and he send me all paperwork but it was just to much work and i didnt have time for that right now..maybe later...do u ahve msg or something?...wher r u from???...where u live?...here add mine..josigod@hotmail.com

 

[El Chino Recoba]

Guys this is coming from a non Inter fan, I think Moratti's Inter has something against it, Maybe not a curse but some sort of destiny and Im telling you over the years I have never seen a club like Moratti's Inter, there will never be such a story like this again, Its completely unique.

Maybe some of you don't see how unique the story is and what could of been but its surreal, IMO If there is a player that represents it all its probably Chino, His story is maybe even more surreal but thats how life is.

Nothing is guranteed.

 

[InterFCAustin]

it's starnge right..it..cuz nobody knows what's going on..even the bigest coaches and analysts...i am scared man...moratti should leave ..for inter's good

 

[Hammoudi]

Well Faisal, you know how Serie A is. However, it remains a mystery to me as to how Roma was allowed to win in 2000. I know that Lazio got theirs because Cragnotti threatened to expose Moggi.

Again, there is no curse. We just need continuity and fairness. The former is within our grasp, the latter depends on the other.

 

[cool_cuchu]

well,

to make sure inter is cursed is by organazing this team and management, not fixing one problem after the other like a mad man..

inter should have vision and direction... and from that we derived guidelines..

1. inter should trim down the squad to reasonable numbers, not too big and not too small..
2. inter should have enough stars, not too much and not less
3. inter should have enough fighters, this could be too much but cant be less
4. inter should have good coach
5. inter should have enough money
6. inter should have most players playable..
7. happy dressing room
8. good pitch
9. etc

if all those have been fullfiled but we are still losing , then we are definitily cursed or cheated... like hell..

but I believe inter cant do anything else but build good team and management, and be patient in getting the result..

 

[InterFCAustin]

but think about it better...all the team have these prolems...but somhow..only inter get punished heavy.....other teams..have just luck...and we?

 

[Jony]

We are cursed there is no if's and buts about it. Hopefull if we sell Adriano for 100 mill Euros will regain some confidense and start bribing some referees. :fero:

Imagine how this could wrong. We can bribe the wrong referee, the ref that we bribed would get a last minute illness and miss the match, Branca and Oriali would be busted by an undercover etc. etc. can't wait for the comedy of errors in that

Seriously, I'd wait another 100 hundred years if we need to bribe referees in order to win scudetto. Make that 200. I'd never consider that.

I do realise, however, that you were just being sarcastic. I hope.

 

[Choppin Onions]

Boston had to wait like 80 years for their curse to end. I hope we don't have to wait that long because I don't think I'm gonna make it.

Seriously we might not have to wait the long because of the difference in Italian Soccer and American Baseball, but you never know.

 

[primo-inter]

it's starnge right..it..cuz nobody knows what's going on..even the bigest coaches and analysts...i am scared man...moratti should leave ..for inter's good

Moratti should leave? that is so stupid of you to say.

Moratti is the biggest fan Inter could possibly have, you all think you could do his job better but the fact is thinks don't work as well on paper as they do in reality. It's all well and good for us to write down our 'dream line ups' etc, well Moratti has been making them happen for the past 10 years! I don't blame him for our lack of success, I blame the lack of good coaching during the 10 yrs.

Moratti is passionate about Inter and he is also rich. This means we will never end up like Parma, Lazio or Fiorentina with their money problems.

If Moratti leaves we'd get someone with less money and less passionate about Inter, probably. I predict this because Moratti is one of a kind (rich and extremely passionate).

Trust me, we are better off with Moratti and if you can't see that you're missing the big picture.

yeah..i know it's not easy in reality...same as it's not easy to exchange players with ur biggest opponent in the league...that what i call STUPID...stupid moves for a "passionate" man as he is...that is unacceptable....goalkeeper for italian national captian..and dont mentions the other blunders he made...and the personel he hire for transfer things...unacceptable for a "PASIONATE"...like him...
