Inter is not just winless but also goalless in the ICC. The Nerazzurri dropped a 2-0 result to Chelsea to open the tournament before being routed by Valencia 4-0 on Sunday.
Inter (4-4-2): Handanovic; Juan, Ranocchia, Samuel, Nagatomo; Obi, Cambiasso, Guarin, Alvarez; Palacio, Milito
Juventus (3-5-2): Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah; Tevez, Llorente
Juventus and Inter are two of the most successful clubs in the history of Italian soccer. Juventus' 29 titles (not including the two that were stripped from the club) are the most in Italy. Inter is tied with rival AC Milan for second with 18 championships.
Juvetus has won the last two Scudettos, while Inter has not won the Serie A title since the 2009-2010 season.
So, this tour of the United States, huh.
Two (unofficial) games in, and already people are getting grumpy. I don't think that's exactly what the Juventus tour organizers had in mind when they sat down a few months back and agreed to take part in the International Champions Cup. But, unfortunately for some, that's the territory you enter when you don't play well in the preseason. It might be knee-jerk to others, but it's just reality. We want results. We're spoiled. Dammit, Antonio Conte, you gosh darn spoiler.
(For the record, I'm not worried.)
And with Juventus only having one more match — the all-important seventh-place game against Inter Milan later today at Sun Life Stadium in sunny Miami, Fla. — before the Supercoppa, it's Conte's last chance to see his team take part in a friendly before things really matter in Rome in less than two weeks.
