defo if ribery was rooney the ref would have sent him packing maybe a few other players too,

we're off to the maracana to play brasil next week,haha wish us luck,hope brasil are having an off day

Prediction: Germany is winning the world cup this time.

Why on earth would I be a Byern fan? There is no more annoying team in Germany. Except maybe Dortmund, which whines about Bayern buying their players when they do the same all the time - look at Reus and Kehl.

And why would I be glad that such a dirty player plays for my (supposedly) favourite team?

Oh, and my side is SC Freiburg.

I just assumed you were, you seemed to be supporting Bayern throughout this thread.

Sorry

I know how this is a serious thing. I once got called a Leeds fan.

No worries. In international play, one has to support Bayern, as they are the only German side that ensures we have enough international slots.

And after beating barcelona the way they did, they deserved it.

Doesnt make them any less annoying though. Especially Schweinsteiger who really sucked today, and Robben was almost as bad. He fumbled like 3 100% chances.

LoL. Kehl joined Dortmund 11 years ago. This is a lifetime for football.

By the way:

As much as I wanted Dortmund to win it, in the end Bayern deserved it. While they dominated the first half, they didn't put that domination into goals (what a performance by Neuer) and on the second half, Bayern grew a lot and turned the tables around.

It was a pretty interesting match and congrats for both teams .

That was a great final, by far the best since Liverpool - Milan 2005. Fairly low on quality but high on excitement. Shame Bayern won but they have been by far the best team in Europe this year. As an Arsenal fan I do feel somewhat vindicated by their performances since they beat us on away goals.

You still bought him from Freiburg. Dortmund, like Bayern, is a buying team. Reus, Kehl, Gündogan, Lewandowski, Hummels, Piszczek, Bender, Schieber just to name a few. Its just reality that everyone buys from everyone else.

Sure, every club has players from other clubs joining them.

Piszczek for example joined Dortmund when Berlin did not manage to stay in the Bundesliga. His contract was running out as well.

Hummels joined Dortmund, because Bayern did not see his amazing talent. He joined Dortmund on loan and made huge steps in the right direction so Dortmund bought him after he already played there.

Bender joined Dortmund from 1860 Munich in the 2nd Bundesliga. He asked 1860 to leave.

Reus was at Dortmund long before he joined Gladbach. He played there for about 10 years. He was raised in Dortmund.

Gündogan played for Nürnberg, true. They bought him for 4.5 million Euros.

Lewandowski was scouted and bought for 4 million Euros.

Anyway, this is another approach than Bayern Munich or almost anybody in the Champions League.

This might change now though. Kevin de Bruyne, Eriksen and Bernard are more established players.
