Inter - Sampdoria (21 Jun 20) [2-1]

[Demenza Senile]

I think Lautaro will start this one because he is suspended for the return leg against Ludogorets.I don't see how Alexis starts 3 or potentially 4 games in a row considering he has only recently returned from a serious injury.Although on merits it makes more sense to start Alexis but I do think rotation will come in here.

agree. toro vs samp. alexis vs ludo and juve.

Or maybe we go with Lautaro Alexis against Samp, Lukaku Alexis against Ludogrets and finally Lukaku Lautaro against Juve.

 

[Howl]

Most likely will be the exact same line up as last week. I don't think Conte is going to bench Lukaku again after already doing so against Ludogorets.

Great, i got the flight tickets to go and return the 23 on the same day, they changed the hour from 15:00 to 20:45 so extra 100€ of Rynar, now if that shit of coronavirus affects the game for some reason i will be seriously fucked.

Italy’s bureaucracy literally doesn’t move fast enough to do anything, even when it’s a potentially deadly virus. The games this weekend should be fine.

 

[ElDuccio]

for now yes, but we don't know what will happen next. If things get worse they could start to suspend some games or even the whole league games

 

[Maslany]

There is a coronavirus case in Milan now, will this get postponed? This virus is getting out of hand there.

 

[acroMacho]

Well... if things get worse, the whole season can be over.

 

[YoramG]

Don't know if they're just trying to prove me wrong, but it looks like the game tomorrow is cancelled as per the Italian PM. Sorry Alex

Official, the Mayor of Milan Sala has said so. https://www.fcinter1908.it/copertina/inter-sampdoria-rinviata/

On the plus side, no Padelli anymore?

 

[Alex de Large]

It's amazing lol. First January i was thinking to get a weekend off and go to watch any game, i thought Milan-Inter was too expensive so decided to go to this.
I lost around 330€, amazing.

 

[Jacquez]

This will probably mean the postponement of next weeks matches as well, right? I mean it doesnt seem like the situation is deescalating.

 

[Black Knight]

It does sound like an escalation in northern Italy, though it could be that they're getting better at diagnosing it.

In any case, stay safe, local fiffers.

 

[Kev9Inter]

Champions League and Europa League games will also have to be postponed?!?!

 

[YoramG]

The ridiculous thing is that, for example, Milan fans traveled from Milan to Florence today. What are they going to do, keep them out of the city?

The news of the virus in Milan broke on Friday, the whole round of games should have been called off. Even when Italy does the right thing, it's done in the wrong way.

Probably play them behind closed doors.

 

[ADRossi]

This worked out well for us from a sporting perspective. Hope the region stays safe.

 

[Forzanerazzurri]

Fucking Chinese tourists...

I think quite honestly we've reached peak stupid as a species. Shutting down a game over a disease with a 2-3% mortality rate, that spread in another part of the world because they eat bushmeat.

How will postponing these games help in any way, shape or form? Is Coronavirus going to be cured next week?

that's the problem. Tbh. i think it's realistic that we will se no football (or Serie A) for some weeks if not months. I don't know if that makes sense to play next week or weeks....

The threat of coronavirus is controlling its spread. No one has any clues about who has been infected and who has not. The only way to take control of the spread is by controlling people movement.

A football match will have 60k people in the stadium. These people come from everywhere and will return to wherever. This increases the potential risk of untraceable spreading.

It's not the mortality rate that is concerning but the mean the disease spreads is still unclear. So, it is not about curing coronavirus but taking control of the situation.
