exciting first half in germany from bayern and dortmund , 0-0 though currently watching juve - lazio , so far so good , cant wait to see what atlitic can do against lbp
We're also close to the centennial of the sinking of the Titanic. And given the situation of the "team of the 20th century" I do hope history repeats itself...
LPB lineup confirmed... Casillas, Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrao, Khedira, Xabi Alonso, CRonaldo, Kaká, Di María, Benzema Ozil on the bench. Coentrao selected ahead of Marcelo who doesn't even make the bench. Oh, and Coentrao is on four bookings along with C.Ronaldo. I expect both to be suspended this weekend v Sporting Gijon.
lots of bananas thrown onto the pitch in dortmund behind bayern's goal. maybe aimed at boateng?? ... hope not i was cheering for dortmund. not anymore. go bayern
Pretty sure the bananas were aimed towards Neuer. This goes back to when Oliver Kahn was Bayern's 'keeper as the joke was he looked and acted like a monkey. You'd often see bananas with "KAHN" written on them. Since Neuer is now in goal, and the fact that he used to play for Dortmund's bitterest rivals Schalke, the Dortmund fans are probably just continuing the tradition of throwing bananas at the man in Bayern's goal, whoever he may be. Nothing to do with any other players from either team.
oh, i see. in that case, that's bloody funny thanks for the background story, i guess i jumped to the wrong conclusion. that actually explains why neuer was smirking as they were cleaning up the bananas, i couldn't imagine why he would find that amusing...but this makes sense now. edit: and just in time for me to feel good about cheering dortmund's goal too!! 1-0
Huge goal in Dortmund 1-0 over Bayern. Thanks for the banana explanation too, it helps not spoil the excitement over their goal - to know it is not a racial thing in this case.
Dortmund must be going crazy! Wish I could watch. They are 10 minutes from essentially winning the Bundesliga again.
robben wastes a pk and another easy chance to make it 1-1 , seems dortmund is gona win the german league dortmund 1 - bayern 0 , 6 points difference
Wigan up 1 x 0 over ManU. They also had a goal called back in the first half which was complete BS. Man City are up 1 x 0 at the moment. Comeback ?
Great stuff at the Westfalen Stadion....Now, Wigan scored against Manchester and City get within 5...Madrid Derby beginning....Juve Lazio still level 1-1. Juve needs to win.
Tevez scores. It's been a long way for him ... 3 x 0 Game over. Now just see if ManU will pull off another 90th minute miracle.
I love when sometimes Ronaldo goes into his step over routine in the corner and crosses the ball but there is nobody in the box. He gets so much into his moves that he doesn't look up to see if anybody is there to get onto the cross.
