I'm a big fan of Internacional and I'm very proud to participate in Audi Cup 2011.
I hope to contribute in this forum with some informations about my favourite football club.
Here is a link to the history of Internacional (Brazil):
http://www.internacional.com.br/pagina. ... 1&setor=35Porto Alegre is the name of the capital city of State of Rio Grande do Sul, South Brazil, near Argentina and Uruguay. On 04 April 1909, Sport Club Internacional, the Club of the People of Rio Grande do Sul, was officially founded.
Inter won the famous Joan Gamper tournament on 25 August 1982, in Barcelona, something
no other Brazilian or Latin American club had ever achieved. The Colorado´s eliminated the powerful Barcelona, then with Maradona, after a penalty shoot-out, and beat England's Manchester City in the final by 2-1.
The year 2006 will be forever in the memory of the Colorado´s. It was the year Internacional won their first Libertadores Cup. The great final was against another Brazilian side, São Paulo. On the 17th of December 2006, the world stood still to watch the great final match of the Fifa World Cup. Inter and Barcelona played an exciting game in Yokohama, Japan. Adriano Gabiru scored the winning goal at 36 minutes of the second half and placed Inter amongst the select group of world champions.
2010 is already a year to be remembered in the history of the club. Just four years after grabbing the Libertadores Cup for the first time, the Colorado did it again.
Some of the greatest soccer players on earth started their careers at Sport Club International, such as the midfielder Paulo Roberto
Falcão ("King of Rome"), who played in the World Cup of 1982; the goalkeeper
Taffarel, Brazilian World Cup winner in 1994; defender
Lúcio, Brazilian World Cup winner in 2002, midfielder
Dunga, Brazilian World Cup winner in 1994, defender
Aloísio, who was a championship winning player at Porto, from Portugal in the 90´s; midfielder
Batista, who played in the 1982 World Cup, besides other talented players like Daniel Carvalho (CSKA), Luiz Adriano (Shakhtar Donetsk), Rafael Sobis (Betis),
Alexandre Pato (AC Milan) and
Nilmar (Villareal). A real factory of aces.
