There are boring games, and then there are intensity-laden games which, despite not giving too much in terms of scoring chances, still provide plenty of entertainment to the spectactor. Juve-Inter was one of the latter. Both teams played this match with a full drive for victory, neither of them decided at any point during the 90 minutes that a draw would be enough. The battle in midfield was fierce, and after Inter got in the lead they were still looking to clinch the match with dangerous counter-attacks.

If you really want to be talking about boring, have a look at the Juve-Milan 2003 Champions League final, or the Italy-France Euro 2008 qualifer last month. Those were boring matches, Juve-Inter certainly was not.

Steve, Palladino’s utilization as a left winger is becoming more and more common these days. Ranieri has been using him in that position for quite a while now, and the lad’s in constant progression. He just needs to work on his passing/crossing more, because despite the excellent delivery for Iaquinta on the equalizing goal, most of Palladino’s crosses were off the mark Sunday.

I agree with the assessment above about Gigi Buffon and Giorgio Chiellini; however, with the late introduction of Mauro Camoranesi, Juve seemed to find the extra element to obtain the equalizer. Raffaelle Paladino also had a very good game in an unfamiliar role.

I have watched the game and it was unfuckingbelievable boring game. I literally (I’m not lying) fell asleep around 35. min till the second half.
I don’t understand what’s wrong with this Italians, so many great player but I can’t believe that they can’t pass the ball around the middlefield. Players don’t have idea, not 1% imagination. Second half was little better, but overall I don’t like it. I can’t remember when was the last time I watched good game when Juventus play at home against Milan or Inter.
