Though the MLS is in a serious showdown this weekend to determine which teams will make their Conference Final, we interrupt this program to remind savages that this weekend will be spectacle to the most classic of Serie A derbies!

Though Inter Milan is King of the Mountain (level on pts. with Palermo, albeit), AC Milan will provide the first passionate test for Inter at the “old home” of the San Siro (dual grounds for both these Italian Giants) for the 265th time.

Coming off a (4-1) dominating victory over Livorno in the mid-week, Inter will look to add insult to injury by defeating their cross-town superiors. The resurgence of Recoba and Julio Cruz have added the scoring juice for manager, Mancini, and with Zlatan and Crespo as options, it is no wonder that Adriano has been sent home to lose some weight, as they had been calling him “The Bigger” Ronaldo around the training pitch. All joking aside, I hope that Adriano recovers his form quickly to remind all savages of his explosive striking power.

AC Milan meanwhile fought out a (1-0) victory on Wednesday against Chievo Verona, yet it appears they have a higher mountain to climb on Saturday. A lack of striking confidence in his side, Ancelotti looks set to pack his mid-field and lead his line with the lone striker Inzaghi, trying to sniff out the goals.
