Italian soccer club Inter Milan has accepted an invitation by the Zapatista National Liberation Army for a solidarity soccer match. Zapatista leader Subcommandante Marcos wrote in a letter to the team, "Given the affection we have for you, we're not planning to submerge you in goals ... As we wait for your reply, we'll continue with our rigorous training regime."
