Since the league is over I guess its time to make predictions for the DFB Cup Final between Bayern and Kaiserslautern. I think Bayern will win 2-0.(Goals from Ballack and Elber)
Team News Robert Kovac will miss the final with a torn adductor muscle. He picked up the injury in the last minute of the match against Schalke.
Usually I´m always against Bayern. This year they play the corrupt K´lautern. It´s pretty hard for me now.... What the ( ) I "hope" Lautern will win. I believe Bayern will rip them apart 3:0.
Bayern 3-1 K'lautern. Bayern has been unbeatable since they caught dumped out of Champion's League. K'lautern is still struggling.

Yep, I see it very similar. This is one of the typical games where I want both teams to lose, but unfortunately someone has to win. Bayern will win, but probably it'll be the first cup final since about twenty years that I don't even watch. My prediction is 3:1 for Bayern.

Claudio Pizarro is doubtful for the final after turning his right knee in Wednesday training which forced him to break off the session. With Roque Santa Cruz and Alexander Zickler both injured also Bayern will have only one fit striker. Sebastian Deisler is also doubtful as he missed the training session with the flu.
Bayern are could be missing another attacking player with Ze Roberto also doubtful with an ankle problem.

This is probably the worts DFB-Cup-final I´ve ever had to witness! OK Bayern is playing well. But K´lautern isn´t doing ANYTHING!!! Geez, stand up and fight you whiners!! NOTHING! And what is also very bad is the support. I can´t hear a thing. 3-0 Pizarro: a 2-second "yell" and a 3-time clap in the hands and sit down again. Boooh Bayern "supps" ! K´lauternfans: First they tried, now they are on strike. It´s so bad I can´t believe it!
The Double! A great day indeed! Cheers to all FCB fans- a good way to end the season after a terrible beginning!
Bayern get the Domestic Double Yup, it's all coming together, next year is going to be a great ride............can't wait.
Congrats to Bayern. I think they have the chance to really surprise some people who have written off German soccer next season. Ballack has settled into the middle and has the potential to take over a game as much as any other mid in Europe. Olli will continue to be a brick wall it would appear, and the strong defense will only get better with Rau joining. I wouldn't be surprised to see a defender signed in addition to Rau and likely a forward. Great finish to the season and next year is looking good.
