Great game this, although the second goal, a Lazio OG committed by French defender Diakite, really stopped the show at the end of the second half.
I have to say though, watching Mauro Zarate play, the man would be quite good on a much better team. He and Foggia were the only two doing anything of any note whatsoever for Lazio for large swathes of the game.
But a few words for Ibrahimovic. I like him. A lot. He is one cocky sonofabitch ball handler, and his outrageous overhead back-heel pass to Sully Muntari, tactically useless as he knew Muntari had no support rushing into the box, was there simply to show the world that Ibra can make an outrageous overhead backheel pass.
Later he got in a tussle with Lazio meathead Brocchi for show-boating (I also liked how Lazio had Rocchi and Brocchi. Sounds like some sort of horrible Dutch kid's show). At least Ibra smiles when he plays, unlike Ronaldo who seems to think it is a categorical imperative for others to let him trot handsomely to the edge of the area. I mean, when's the last time you've seen a player amused by his own skill in Europe? He also scored Inter's third.
Serie A. Okay. Here we go.
