Yes, that was awesome yesterday!

Well, blessings to Lewa and Robben of course. But still. And Bayern can complain ***** when they miss 4 (four) pens in a row! Lol.

Lots of complaining going on now, all I will say is this: after 90mins it would have been fully deserved for Dortmund, since Bayern controlled (yawn) the match for 75 mins without creating one single chance themselves - goal was a total fluke / present. Dortmund created their own goal + had 3-4 other big, big chances after that. And it was deserved after 120mins too since Bayern missed 4 (four!) pens in a row.

Ref was a joke still, but one of the extremely few times were the 'underdog' got most of the lucky calls.

A hammer blow goal? What's that? nsfw?

Did anybody see Bayern missing four pens in a row? the first two by slipping out? Comedy gold, I tell ya!

Chelsea 3-1 brings them a step closer to the trophy.

Maybe Barca next year when he showed the world he still got it.

Indeed. A cousin of mine, football player, died around that age from an heart attack. Pretty disturbing.

Not funny, I know, but I'm going to play footie in less than an hour..

Breaking news:: Adrian Ramos from Borussia Dortmund wont be in the Copa america with team Colombia in June due to injury

HSV wins 2:1 against Mainz:
after
1. an owngoal by Baumgartlinger with his head (Mainz)
2. Van der Vaart mostly "disconected" Elkin Soto's knee (bending the leg in the opposite direction)

To be fair v.d. Vaart probably couldn't do much about it, when Soto was striking hard with his leg after a ball he barely reached.

Soto is 34 and his contract ensd this season. Mainz's Manager came to the hospital and offered Soto a contract for another year, though he won't be able to play. Nice act by the Manager.

PS: I should mention that vdV cam jumping from the side behind him, after Soto had "stroke" the ball. In the picture it looks a bit as if Soto was reaching through vdV's legs, trying to get the ball.

Did not see Juventus beating Real Madrid, but they did 2-1. RM better play tougher on May 13 against them.

 

[Alphazoid]

Only Ronaldo and James showed up today. Juve deserved winners.

 

[Centaurr]

kinda bummed that real madrid lost, we have to win the next game...its getting interesting

 

[twietee]

Exciting game so far!

Barca the better team but Neuer is just an awesome keeper. Should have been rather 3-1 by now than 0-0.

And as I remember Rakitic been send away a couple of years ago from Schalke, pleasing to see he kind of managed..

 

[twietee]

What a game! Just when you think it's more or less over...BAM BAM BAM.

*****?! hilarious!

I love Boateng, but that was just a pain to watch. Even against Messi. Even as a Barca-loving Bayern-hater.

Hope they go 0:4 second leg..

What's that with Memphis though? I hear a lot of 90s Memphis underground rap but...

Congrats to Dempsey OW.

Pool played today? Don't tell me there was Fantasy stuff going on mid-week! :/

 

[Lord Blackadder]

Stunning goal by Messi - as for Boateng, it was funny but there's no real shame about being left on your backside by one of the greatest football players in history.When he is in the zone he is unstoppable.

There must be a lot of mirth in Germany this week - I'm sure everyone who is not a Bayern fan enjoyed that.


Sunderland climb out of the relegation spots today - if they survive they will be one of the worst Premier League teams ever to avoid the drop.

 

[JamesMike]

Go Man U! Good goal tending De Gea! 2-1 Man U!

 

[Centaurr]

finally got me cable. i saw the game and real madrid played well, there were alot of goals that almost made it in. guess it was just bad luck but atleast we tied the game...
