Why do they keep talking about no Muller and no Ribery being a big deal for Bayern? Neither one of those guys took a penalty against Real a couple weeks ago. Ribery had been subbed off but Muller was on and wasn't selected.

Mata is brilliant, but 1-4 on pk's is [expletive].

Terrible PK. A foot or two off the ground and not in the corner. That thing was begging to be saved.

[wolf stansson]

Love Neuer placing it and not just blasting it. PK swagger.

Clutch from Cech and Cashley.

Unclutch from Captain Bavaria!!

Oh my god

[glavine93]

that was so cool

[wolf stansson]

Can it with the English spirit bull [expletive], Neville. This game was won by an Ivorian and a Czech.

I don't watch much of this, but that was pretty incredible

This match epitomizes Drogba's career at Chelsea.

The party that Roman Abramovich is going to throw tonight will be insane. It's hard to argue against Drogba. Robben on the other hand basically lost the WC and Champions League.

 

Sucks for Tottenham.

 

The CL trophy is 2nd behind the Stanley Cup in awesomeness.

Gold Cup, bro.

It's amazing that Chelsea's worst team since probably '02-'03 wins the champions league, when much better squads came up short.

Snoop Dogg just shouted out Drogba on twitter. So there's that.

[manbearcub]

Meh. Wake me up when he has a real accomplishment and wins MLS cup with the Fire.

G-8ers watching at Camp David.

The best part was watching that choking choker Robben bottle the PK in extra time. The second best part was watching Mario Gomez ruin his career by blasting chance after golden chance over the bar.

 

Felt bad for Schweinsteiger though..why anyone does that hesitation run up is beyond me.

 

Drogba is a force. Seriously an amazing player. Bayern had every opportunity to bury them and showed themselves to be mentally weak.

Theyre soccer Miami Heat. Incredible collection of talent, but in adversity, like against Dortmund in the league or in the Final today, they forget how to play together.

Yep. They tightened up. They dominated but had no composure in front of goal. I think the home crowd worked against them.

 

Seriously, Gomez's chance in the first half from what-10 yards? Has that ball come down yet?

Final call ups exclude Ream & Lichaj. Id like to know why.

Also, Graham Zusi is not better than Kljestan.

On the plus side, Geoff Cameron is finally going to get a real look, which is a very, very good thing.

 

I don't get the Graham Zusi thing at all. That guy is crap. I don't rate Sacha, but come on.
