"F" for Football Fans

Guess why the title of this blog is The Black and Blue Blog? Because I am an Inter fan. Inter what?! , you may ask. Internazionale FC of course, or "InterMilan" as the foreign press used to call the team.
"AC Milan" fans will be disturbed by this rather confusing name. Me too!
When I was a little girl there were less Inter fans than Milan fans in the Venice area. The big crowd supported AC Milan. I chose to support Inter FC because at the time it was THE winning team. And to distinguish myself from my classmates and schoolfriends. My parents came from Verona and we felt different. Today there are still more Milan and Juventus fans than Inter fans, but I don't mind. I never did, because deep down I'm a fighter...The only thing which worries me is unfair refereeing.
The funny thing is that some of my students pretend to support Inter to please me!
What football team do you support?
