Inter-ness: v Ajax
(Captain Cruizgol!)
It's was technically a friendly and a lot of kids (by which I mean there were four-ish regulars in the team) played, but Inter won in PKs, and will play Internacional in the final tomorrow.

The starters. Does Cuchu EVER get a rest?!
(Just to get it out of the way. Another effing haircut. BOO.)
Workin' the armband, bitches.
(Look at the mesmerized infant in the background.)
"Dude! What the fuck?! Don't make me kick your ass. Because I totally could, you know. What?"
And he scored. Not just once.
But twice! (Well, three times actually, but there are no pictures of the PK.)
Good work, holmes.
Not much squeeing in friendies, sadly.
Suazo played, too. He missed a lot of chances, like he does.
(Not a handball.)
God, Davids was everywhere -- and he only played a half hour.
See? Bothering poor Pele, too.
The cameramen love him. NO IDEA WHY.
Yes, alright, he had an assist. But, seriously. If you take that many corner kicks, you should. Right?
He also missed a PK. Stop laughing.
(Little Luis is going to be unbearable on the bench now that he's played. Look at him, sitting there twitching, leaning forward so Mancio can see him.)
Look, a baby keeper!
Enrico Alfonso is 19.
Ok, so he gave away a PK. He also made a couple big saves late, and scared Van Der Heijden and Heitinga into missing their PKs.
Based on the photos, Santi was terribly stressed.
The whole match. Poor man.
MAX!
Cuchu!
Oh, Nico.
Supamario! (He almost won it, but hit the bar instead. For the second time in two matches.
In good news: Deki is back in full training today. SQUUEEEEEEEE!
In bad news: Suazo picked up a vague injury yesterday. Super.
The boys are training once today and taking the afternoon off, before coming back tomorrow for training and the Internacional match.
