I love it when people who only watch the EPL are surprised by how great/fun Bundesliga football is. If there were two teams from any of the other big 3 leagues in the final, it'd be boring as [expletive]. German teams don't do conservative.

 

This. If Barca were involved the game would be played between the center circle and ten yards off the D, with eleventy million lateral short passes. An EPL team would just be giving the ball away constantly downfield. The Bund is just fun to watch. These guys are seeing passes and angles that nobody in England can conceive of.

 

And Jesus Christ. If Bayern want to win they might need to sub off Robben for a guy who isn't suddenly clueless in front of goal.

Robben playing the role of Mario Gomez today.

Arjen Robben is an innovator in the field of finding new ways to lose games his team should win.

What the Dutch masters were to Golden Age renaissance painting he is to choking.

Hahahahaha

Junior Flores, our 16 year old next big thing who signed a pre-contract with Dortmund, is at the game in the team box. Pretty cool. Edited May 25, 2013 by wolf stansson

LOL. That "elbow" was La Liga worthy.

[USSoccer]

That goal was coming for the past 30 minutes of play.

[wolf stansson]

Passing is a thing I can do?!

[wolf stansson]

Rough. Fuckin Dante.

[USSoccer]

You know...that's actually a pretty good PK call. And if that's a PK, Dante should be sent off-as I'm typing I saw the replay. That's a straight red in most games.

[Mark Priors Calves]

What the hell was Dante doing?

[Guest]

Yeah, Dante should be gone.

[USSoccer]

How was that not even a yellow? Terrible decision. If it's a foul in the box, it's usually a yellow. If someone gets kicked in the chest, it's usually a red.

That's two Bayern has gotten away with now. I realize the ref doesn't want to kill the game by sending a player off, but it's refereeing like that which led to the Spain-Holland travesty of a WC Final in 2010 (not that this match is anywhere close to turning into that one).

Holy [expletive], what a clearance by the Turncoat

[wolf stansson]

Ribery dodged a card earlier too.

Lol, perfect. That guy is an [expletive].

 

Ribs carded which should be his second. Bayern should be playing with 9 right now. Which means Bayern is going to win and Dortmund is going to remember this screw job forever.

Jesus, Ribery should have been sent off twice now.

 

There's letting them play and then there's just stupid.

[wvcbxl]

I really like the pace of this game - great fun to watch.

[USSoccer]

Wow.

 

This is the best CL final since...what, Chelsea/United in terms of chances and goalkeeping?

[wolf stansson]

Screw Thomas Rongen. Subotic is awesome.

[USSoccer]

The Turncoat got away with one there, I think.
