The Inter Reality Show

Is this a good idea?, For the other clubs to follow it:

The Nerazzurri created a television show in Argentina to find the new Maradona or Messi.

Reality shows have no boundaries and lack of of imagination, as the latest idea comes from a renowned football team: Inter.

The Italian club have in fact produced a reality show for children between 13 and 17 years of age, where a talent scout, Griffa, who had discovered Valdano and Batistuta in the past, will choose the winner.

The prize? He will be signed by Inter and have the opportunity of becoming a star in Serie A.

So far 700 young aspirants have registered their names, but only one will manage to win.

Chelsea have already done the same thing.

Its a poor idea.

Yep, Chelsea did it as well but to be honest, most talents have usually been picked up.

In Portugal there was similar TV Show - Soccastars

it was for people from 16-20, and the prize was a I division contract. They spent 3 months in Sporting academy, although the award wasn't to be at Sporting.

It was funny, actually. There was Men and Women competition. The girl that won went to the USA, and is not that bad...

We've done it aswell with kids from the middle east, 3 of them came over for a bit, could still be here for all i know. Peter Beardsley was the judge.

Peter Beardsley

The kids probably thought they were being shipped off to a paedophile ring

To be fair they do sound quite good.

Was this show televised in England? I'd never heard of it until i read that.

It makes sense to do something like this in developing countries, where talent alone is sometime not enough... I dunno what happened to this reality show, anyone got an update??.

ended up...the winner is a flop...they did a similar show years ago but the winner instead of winning a contract won the opportunity to go to europe and tryout for Real Madrid I think...of course the winner was $h!t so disappeared from the face of the earth...the only good thing about the inter show was that a friend of mine(who by the way is the most spastic anti sport person I know) got a job for the show so I got a brand new Inter jersey and some socks along with some nike shirts

It was an innocent jersey which converted me into the world of Nerazzurri... lets hope it has the same impact on you
