Does anyone know of a "ticker" for this match? Looks like Sagnol is out for sure. Probable line up from FCBAYERN.DE ................Kahn Kuffour...Lucio..Kovac...Salihamidzic ...............Ballack Hargreaves........Schweinsteiger ...............Frings ......Makaay.......Pizarro
I would assume the Bayern (deutsch) will probably have it. Sometimes they have webradio on the english site for cup games.
Does FCBAYERN have an actual ticker or is it that "pay" thing they offer... which I am too cheap to purchase.
Hey bud--the ticker is usually only in German, which you can follow with some basic Deutsch. The radio is usually free, but I see they say it is the FCB Champions radio (which usually means the pay service--which I do have). Look around game time off of the homepage and if they offer it for free there will be a link. I don't know why they would make this particular one only available to the payed subscribers--but heh, what the hell do I know? Maybe some loopholes in a contract somewhere!
I tried the ZDF.de site ticker and get nothing but "blank" pictures and whatnot. I will try FCBAYERN.de. If not Nekki and DeadRinger... could you guys provide some "live commentary"... come on, hook a po' brotha up! =)
35' Owen Hargreaves makes it 1-0 for FCB with a leftfooted shot. An unstoppable thunderbolt from 25 meters.
41' First real chance for Stuttgart. But the shot sails over the bar. 42' Ballack picks up a yellow card after taking Hleb down as he races towards goal. The freekick comes to nothing but VFB retain the ball.
44' A cross from Frings finds Ballack, but his volley is over the crossbar. 45+1' Ballack has another shot sail over by 1 meter. At the end of the first 45 mins Bayern is dominating the match and up 1-0 thanks to a wonderstrike from Hargreaves. Ballack and Makaay have had several good chances but Hildebrand has played extremely well. First half stats: FCB-----VFB ----Score 1--------0 ---Corners 5--------0 -Tackles won 58%-----42% --Possession 57%-----43% ----Shots 10-------2 ----Fouls 13--------8 Yellow cards: Ballack Kuffour Delpierre
Nekki.... thank you. I did find the ticker on FCBAYERN.de, but your translation is MOST appreciated!!! GO FCB!!!!!!!!!!
No changes to the sides that start the second half. 46' Freekick to FCB on the left had side of the field. Hargreaves swings it into the box towards Kuffour but it is cleared. VFB is still on the back foot after 5 mins in the second half.
Cross from Frings finds Kuffour, however the header is no problem for Timo Hildebrand. Great pass forward from Ballack to Makaay, however he was offside.
At the moment the game has slowed down, Bayern appears to be willing to simply stroke the ball arround and wait for an opening. Lahm passes the ball into the box for Hleb who crosses to Kuranyi, who should have won a corner, however he is abjudged to have fouled in winning the duel. From the ensuing freekick, Schweinsteiger has a chance but loses the ball. Makaay then tries to chip it over the defense to Ballack but he is offsides. Kuranyi has a chance to shoot but Lucio blocks. Stuttgart the maintains pressure for about 30 seconds before Meissner fires over the bar.
Stuttgart are starting to come into the match now with Hleb and Lahm leading the charge. A Lahm cross misses Kuranyi but Kuffour and Lucio clear. Babbel makes a mistake and Bayern begins a counter, and Schweinsteiger plays a through-ball to Makaay, who tries to cut it back into the center for one of the two waiting Bayern players. His pass is not accurate and VFB easily clears. 58' Hleb comes off and Christian Tiffert replaces him. Ballack wins corner number 6 for FCB.
