Football (Soccer)

What was the result? Was it a decent game?

@den213:

Nobody watching this? It's the (self-proclaimed) most attractive football-league in Europe ;).

Boring match, Bayern won 1:0 in Dortmund. Ironically former BVB-mate Lewandowski scored the only goal.

the city of manchester is RED!!

Excellent match, Manolo Pellegrini is going to be sacked for sure but when?

[Peter]

I'm pretty narrow-minded when it comes to football, and fuck, I hate United so much haha. Good game though, don't "have" a team in PL.

[louisbosco]

hahaha. when i was in singapore, they have two types of fans, Anything but united and nothing but united.

anyway, i feel that city might decide to keep pellegrini at least maybe till the end of the season.

Looking forward to tomorrow's Derbi madrileño in the Champions League. Hala Madrid!

[Megatron1505]

Pellegrini will be there until the end of the season, got a feeling that City might make a push for Guardiola in the off season.

Nice to see things continue running to form at Newcastle…...I hate that (my) club 

[Dion]

Jürgen Klopp is leaving Dortmund at the end of this season. Is he going to be Pellegrini's successor?

Bayern got a nice package from Porto. Great. Here in Berlin, we love to hate them. Will celebrate if they really are kicked out after game two…  ::) 

[Peter]

Last night's Champions League games were a fucking disaster haha.. Hoping Wolfsburg will beat Napoli tonight, even though EL isn't as exciting.

Goddamnit..

[Winchy]

The Madrid derby was pretty bloody disastrous last night too….all that talent on the pitch and nothing but diving, playacting and complaining.

[Peter]

Really? I found it entertaining. Doesn't hurt that I'm a Real fan though..

[Dion]

There are matches way worse to watch but I like Real as well :). Looking forward to the HF-draw tomorrow.

The diving and play acting and wielding of imaginary cards to try and get players booked/sent off gets tiresome when it seems just as important to most of the players as playing high quality footy.

As Real fans do you have any preference for S/F draw?

[FurattoHeddo]

I'd say anyone but Barça…

[Peter]

The upcoming draw tomorrow is a tough one. I also happen to like Bayern, I dislike Juve and really hate Barca. In the best of worlds Real would win against Barca in the finals, at the same time I think it's a bit boring when teams from the same league face each other.

But I guess Bayern vs. Barca would be fun, considering Pep would meet his old team.

Real vs. Juve
Bayern vs. Barca

If everything comes together that is, haha..

Barcelona's players are even worse, esp. when their team is not winning. I'm glad for every team that wins the CL this year as long as it's not Barca ;D.

@Peter:

Agreed. For me the appeal of the CL is to see differing styles go up against each other, although it is unavoidable that there will be some draws from the Q/F stage and onwards where two teams from the same league are matched up. That batch of Liverpool v Chelsea ties a few years back got very tedious.

I'm not too fussed who wins but just wanna see 5 matches of open, attacking football with less of the diving.

[Peter]

I'm super psychic!

Real vs. Juve
Bayern vs. Barca
