Anyway i watched the game after a good day of sport action. Lewis finishing second in Monaco, A bit of Rugby and seeing Cas stuff Wakefield and most of the day watching England vs New Zealand and especially Joe Root and Bairstow batting against a good attack. Prior looked good and has to be one of the best counter attacking bats men in the world and the best wicket keeper bats man in the world in my opinion. When 7.30 came I put the footie on. I was frustrated that only 50K was given to the two clubs. i watched it and yes it was a good game. One minute Robben frustrated me the next minute he made me go to the edge of the seat. Neuer looked good and the Croatian Bayern striker looked good two. The two centre backs of either clubs however made me frustrated. The two big Dortmund centre backs just look slow and the Bayern centre backs don't look good either. Dante’s the only one i would want playing for a premier league club but i don't think that would be a top 6 side. Anyway, looking forward to the Champ game tomorrow.
Bayern defenders that only conceded 7 goals in first 20 games and kept the most away clean sheets in Bundesliga history. Those centre backs?
That might say more about the teams they play LiverpoolRed. They looked bad the other defence and especially centre looked shocking.
Good post that Phil. Disagree only on the centre halves. Thought Subotic was decent, especially his Hassell-esque clearance. Dante should have been sent off in my opinion, for the foul in the box that resulted in BvB's equaliser. Ribery was lucky to still be on, too. But all in all, it was an enjoyable final and further cements Bayern's dominant status as THE European giant.
Really, what did he do? They'll be up there, but dominate nar. People will say i'm been negative or whatever but i don't think Dortmund will get anywhere close next season. i think they'll struggle to keep a couple of there players and will go down the tip. i think there'll be a couple of Italy in there maybe. bayern. Couple from Spain (barca, Real) PSG and all four rom England. I think all four from England are looking good on paper or with Arsenal the rumour is they have 100M to spend. Chelsea will/ should get jose and they will improve and i think the Owners at manchester City will demand a good result in Europe. My winners next season, Manchester united. youngish side. will have learn't from this season.... Slow, weak on the ball, turn like a ship. Got done with a straight long ball to a 5'10 player. The centre backs clearance was one of the times i got annoyed at Robben. just got to the BALLLLLLLLLLLL
The dortmund fans. Bril. Honestly i had it quite loud. In to 40's on my TV and it was quiet but the sky commentators kept saying they were good. So Uefa must not have had the speakers on loud or there's something wrong with my Tv. Very impressed with the Dortmund fans staying behind at the end.
