F.C. Internazionale Milano

 

If Soccer was my religion, Inter would be my temple, and I'm sure all true Interisti agree. I (and so should everyone else) know that Inter is the best soccer team ever to grace this earth and that nothing can ever stop the nerazzurri!

Despite this teams great heritage, the truth is that they haven't been around since the dawn of man, neither at the beginning of the century did Inter exist. At that time there was only "Milan Cricket and Football Club", but on March 9th 1908, the "Internazionale Football Club" was finally formed and history was to be changed forever.

It was called "Internazionale" because it was open to all players and not only to the Italian ones. It was the result of a group of rebels, previously associated with Milan, who were the cause of Inter's birth. The colours of the club were, gold, black and blue, and the tradition has been carried through up to this day.

Since 1908 the quality of Inter's teams have been of an outstanding calibre and they've won a host of titles....... and respect!

FORZA INTER!
