What the fuck has happened to Inter?! Losing 2-0 at home to Hapoel Sheva?

Biggest laughter here in Germany. The once mighty Inter lost against a team from "outside" Europe in the Europa League. OK, the Israelis are not that bad (they lost only in the CL Playoff Final against Celtic with 0-3 and won the return leg in Israel with 2-0 and nearly even made the sensation) but it's nonetheless embarrassing for Inter.
In Germany we really don't like Inter since the "infamous can throwing incident" in 1971 where Gladbach's 7-1 performance against Inter was later annulled. Since then Inter is, maybe, the loathed foreign club in Germany.


The German clubs have done good so far, at least Schalke with an 1-0 away win at Nice (no goal from Balotelli :D ) . Mainz led 1-0 until the 88th minute before they got the equalizer against St.Etienne (with the older brother of Paul Pogba.

I really like the results of Feyenoord and Southampton.

OK, you already got a link. Here are 2 others which explained why Inter is so much loathed here in Germany since this incident (even when Matthäus, Klinsmann played for them most German Football fan didn't care)

It was rumored that Roberto Boninsegna had an offer from Hollywood because they saw what a good actor he is ;)

Thought Manchester United were piss poor last night, it's not the easiest group for them to get out of so to get off to a losing start gives them it all to do. Southampton were far better and dominated the game last night, couldn't have asked for a better start really, they'll be hoping this can kick start their league campaign. Great point for Dundalk last night too, maybe they wont be the whipping boys we're all expecting.

Still 0-0? OK, but Inter is again 2-0 behind at Sparta Prag at half-time, that's even worse ;)

Looks good so far for the 2 german clubs in the Europa League:

Schalke actually leads 1-0 against Salzburg at half-time and Mainz already won their match 3-2 at the azerbaijan club with the funniest name in the competition (at least in German) Qäbälä, that's 3 umlauts, so for every german Umlaut the german club scored one :D

Inter couldn't give 2 shits about the Europa League. They've put together a squad that should be good enough to get them into the Champions league next season. There's a slight possibility of putting up a title challenge, but they haven't got the squad to take this competition seriously. Whenever Palacio starts ahead of Icardi you know they couldn't care less. Icardi, Perisic, Miranda and Ansaldi all on the bench.

Shocking team selection from Puel but obviously our priority is that massive game against Leicester on Sunday.

Man Utd are playing Zorya Luhansk in the Europa League tonight.

If you don't know who they are, they're a small club from Manchester

Prefer him as an impact sub coming on against tired legs. He's been noticeably horrendous in front of goal this season.

Seems as though we can only score with Austin on the pitch at the moment.

Have United given a load of cheap/free tickets to kids tonight? All I can hear is a group of high-pitched kids chanting "United" over and over again.

Top tier empty as well...

Apparently the game has had the attendance limited to 55,000. No idea why though.

It looks like.

Mario scored for Nice again..

Yes but Nice lost 2-5 nonetheless against Krasnodar and is already 6 pts away from the first two places in the group.
Krasnodar and Schalke now both with 6 pts. Seems that Schalke can only win in Europe because in the Bundesliga they've lost all their 5 matches so far (and are even worse than the HSV ;) )
