Supercoppa Italiana

[Jakhog1]

See this is on tomorrow AC Milan Vs Inter, just been reading that it is being held in Saudi Arabia, who do you fancy to win?, I have always preferred AC as a team over the years, have a cracking squad the now but can really blow hot and cold.

Spanish super cup has been held there past couple of years. Barcelona humped Real at the weekend.

Should be a good game. I think Milan are definitely the stronger side at the moment. Arguably Inter have the better squad overall but they just seem disjointed IMO. Like they solely rely on the forwards creating and scoring on their own and they lack a bit of pace.

I think Tonali and Leao seem to improving all the time whereas the likes of Barella seems to have stood still at Inter this year.

Bookies still have Inter as favourites. Should be plenty of goals anyway, rarely a dull derby.

Not into these games that have been sold off to other countries, poor stuff.

Agreed. Totally pointless.

If it's not played in their home country in front of their own fans it just becomes a friendly match on foreign soil. No doubt they'll be well paid for it though.

KSA have really been upping the sportswashing lately, wonder if they fancy buying a World Cup.

I think this was probably exacerbated by Covid, but I couldn't watch a game in a sanitised neutral venue anymore. If there's not a bit of atmosphere or tension then it barely seems worth watching, regardless of the standard of football.

If it's between Swindon-Oxford or a Bristol derby or such like, Man City-Bournemouth in the EPL and Real-Barca in Riyadh, I reckon that's almost the order of preference for me.

I’m the same, I genuinely prefer the Friday night championship game on BBC Scotland to any of the Super Sunday crap from the tourist league down south

They have already expressed an interest for the 2030 I think.
