Milan Inter[edit]

Image:Milan Inter.jpg - Marco Materazzi (from Internazionale) and A.C. player Rui Costa stand together while fireworks thrown by supporters disrupt the Milan derby.

This image appears in the A.C. Milan article. The image is a creative commons image from flickr taken by Lordcolus. I think the image shows sportmanship in it's best form. It would be a great picture to feature on the main page during the world cup.

Check the metadata - it was stolen from Reuters. ed g2s • talk 11:19, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I am not getting any "Wow" feelings from this photo, and niether of the two men in it are facing the camera. Furthermore, the fireworks in the distance are out of focus. TomStar81 02:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Not very encyclopedic. What is this meant to inform us about? Redquark 03:02, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Doesn't stand out...its just two guys standing on a soccer field. --Geoffrey Gibson 04:06, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment it's a pity I don't know either of the two players. They may be well known, but if it was like Ronaldo and Thierry Henry or something, it would be much more interesting. Stevage 06:22, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Materazzi and Rui Costa are two very respected footballers in Italy, perhaps you are not that familiar with international football. The importance of the image might be in doubt, not that of the players. I think its a quality picture that shows sportmanship between two really rival teams, though perhaps is not Encyclopedic enough for a featured picture. Mariano(t/c) 07:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
