Football (Soccer)

@Peter:

…at the same time I think it's a bit boring when teams from the same league face each other

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.

I'm super psychic!

Real vs. Juve
Bayern vs. Barca

[Dion]

Same here. Although I'll love to see the Bayern kicking Barca's ass out I don't want them to lose in the final to Real. Just in case, more than ever I don't want Real to lose a final, too.

Well, Bayern are out of the German Cup, after a dismal show in penalties against Dortmund. No triple this year, guys…

[NorthernVictory]

I can't wait until Barca vs. Bayern.

The time for revenge is nigh.

[Finn666]

since i fecking hate bayern, i was happy as f… after the game. especially the way they lost it, hahahaha priceless

F.C. Bayern München - Fuck off!   

[Dion]

I don't understand this (unfounded) hate towards Bayern. Maybe it's sorta lifetyle-thing to hate on what others hate?

FCB deserved to win yesterday but had bad luck with the ref and esp. at the penalty shootout.

[Megatron1505]

I like watching both Bayern and Barca play, so the match is a win/ win for me. Not a fan of Real or Juve (not since the Zidane days of either) so no vested interest there at all.

@den213:

I grown up and live in Franconia (a part of Bavaria) and it is a long tradition in my area (and no opportunism or fashion crap) - to "hate" these bastards. 
But whatever … that's a Denim- and no Ultras-/ Hooligan Forum here.

But this is great:

[Peter]

That didn't go all too well.. Better shape up, Real!

[501IH]

Gratified to have found a couple fellow Bayern haters here. Cheers, guys!
I wish them a real "package" tomorrow….(evil grin)...

Last night @Madame Buttonfly and I went to see a real game of football. none of this noncey Champions League crap.  Yes it was Gosport Borough playing Sholing in the final of the Hampshire cup.  It was played at Fratton Park, home to Portsmouth FC.

Look at how crowded it was…

Paula's classy half time tipple…

We won 3:Nil…

"We know who we are,
We know who we are,
Champions of Hampshire,
We know who we are"

Pure class.....

[Dion]

The Champions League can't compete with that and that's for sure :). If anyone's still interested: Juventus won 2:1 against Real Madrid yesterday.

[Finkster]

Nice pics @Giles  … I'm also bored of Champions Leaque, Premier Leaque, etc.
My local Football club plays in the 4. Division ( currently Number 1 ^^ ) ... it's somewhere between amateur- and professional football. A lot more fun and more familiar then all this other crap.

[Giles]

Sounds just like our team.  Some of them get paid, some don't.  They're painters. electricians and waiters in real life….

[louisbosco]

oh wow. the pitch looks like shit. hard to believe they were a top flight club given that pitch condition.

[Giles]

Yes.  We said last night that Gosport's pitch is better than Portsmouth's…..And they are far from a top flight club now.....

[Megatron1505]

Looks like a great night of real football, I'm considering handing in Toon support and moving just over the bridge to support Gateshead until such a time that Newcastle feel like being a football club again….not holding my breath
