BL 05/06 R34 FC Bayern - Borussia Dortmund [R]

[david29]

We have almost no available defenders. Our midfield is barely old enough to get into a nightclub. Our strikers?...let's just leave it at that. To be honest, the chances of us getting a real kicking are pretty high. But if I have to sit through FC Bayern's title celebrations on Saturday I want us to be able to walk from the field with heads held high. If we can show the same kind of spirit we showed against these guys back in December, or away to Leverkusen before that, then I'll be very proud.

In the states none of those midfielders would get into a nightclub. This does have the potential to be a real ass kicking but hopefully our guys can remain calm and put together a respectable showing.

Of course, I'd forgotten you had to be 21 in the US. All the more amusing...

Retarded law. Did you check out that pic? Might be the worst photoshop job in history!

[david29]

Retarded law.

Though in hindsight it perhaps explains why almost every young American tourist I encounter is so keen to go out and get wasted....

He he, yeah at the moment I'm going with the 'is meant to be playfully tacky' defence. Either that or the club's cost-cutting measures are becoming more rigorous than anyone could have imagined!

[jonam]

Man, am I excited. Going for a dinner tonight (drinking some beer), then directly to the train station and a 10h ride to Munich (drinking much more beer), meeting footyfan1 (drinking some more beer), going to the stadium (drinking a few pints), heading to Munich airport (drinking some water and aspirin), taking flight back to Berlin.

p.s.: Today/tomorrow I somehow don't care whether we loose or not. :)

[gunner_21]

10 hour train ride? Is this one of those overnight train deals?

#1 Yes American kids can get quite stupid when abroad.

#2 I hope it is meant to be playfully tacky because if we're in that much financial difficulties I am very nervous! lol

More or less. It is actually the cheapest way to travel to Munich. 30 Euro for a group of 5 (6 Euro each). But you are only allowed to use non-extra charge 2nd class local trains. ;-)

The ICE (high speed train) would take 5h (?) but cost about 70 Euro (?). Just rough guesses.

So there are beds on the train? I don't mean to sound stupid but I went from Frankfurt to Paris on an overnight train. Good lord what a trip. My uncle didn't realise we would have beds. It was pretty interesting. We made all kinds of stops during the night. Part of the return train was going to Munich, part to Basel I believe, also Berlin and Frankfurt of course.

Nope, no beds. Just normal local trains....that's why it is so cheap.

Have a great time jonam!

I see, well it sounds like you're going to have an awesome time. I'd love to be able to get back to Germany soon.

Why is it that our best players are always injure/banned vs BayScum?

It's gonna be nothing but kids in the midfield tomorrow.

[BMike86]

Dortmund probable lineup

---Smolarek---Koller---Odokor----
-------Caliskan----Sahin---------
--------------Kruska-------------
--Dede-Brzenska--Degen-Kringe--
------------Gentenaar-----------

[david29]

3-2 to Bayern after 66 minutes. After holding onto our early goal for all of four minutes, we've then been stung twice in the opening few minutes of the second half. Degen, of all people, has just pulled one back and we're the one having all the chances at present.

Come on kids, one f**king more!!

[BMike86]

3-3, koller tied it up

[david29]

Come on kids, one f**king more!!

YEEEEAAAAHHH!!!!!!

Jan Koller with the equaliser!! 3-3 with 12 minutes to go!
