Yep. Getting more nervous.

A funny article and one of the few that doesn't mention how evil Bayern is.

2013 Champions League Preview - Grantland

Lol @ "ludicrously overpowered doom brigade"

You're allowed to at halftime though. After you get another beer

Set a cooler right next to me so I don't even have to get up to get one

 

[DocVOLiday]

And thwre it is

 

[vol2013]

Hell of a final

I can't believe Robben sealed it. I was pulling for Bayern but I hate that guy. Unreal

 

[vol2013]

You echoe my thoughts exactly, would pay money to see rooney do to Robben what he did to Ricardo Carvalho

Been wanting to say this for a while:

The Champioooooooooooons!

Really happy for guys like Schweini and Lahm. It's been a couple rough years for them prior to this year.

I know there are some legit Munchen fans in here but there's a real feeling of rooting for Goliath against David in this thread during today's game.

Bundesliga is going to be even more like that next year.

 

[milohimself]

They're the best team on the planet right now and it's not really close.

 

[NochNoch]

And they'll only get better next year. I've actually always liked Bayern but it felt pretty hard to pull for them today as they played an inferior opponent while they had already agreed to take their best (maybe 2nd best) player for next year. Again, rooting for Goliath is never a lot of fun.

Barcelona have signed Neymar. Should be interesting to see how he works with Messi and the others. He should be an upgrade over Alexis, imo. Pedro hasn't be consistent and Villa is up there in age.

Hell of a Champions League final today, btw. One of the best that I've seen in a long time.

There was a lot of hype about Dortmund being David but they're still the team that beat Bayern five consecutive times prior to this year. Hell, A year ago in the cup final they beat us 5-2. Dortmund is responsible for Bayern upping their game buying Mandzukic, Martinez, and Dante who all have been huge for us.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Watch out for the Bundesliga. Bayern, Dortmund, Leverkusen and Shalke.

I follow Hearts(of Midlothian) in the Scottish League. You can't get more of a dominating power than Hearts!

My boy kris Boyd, all time leading goal scorer in Scotland. Back in SPL with kilmarnock.

Great player and great pickup for Kilmarnock!

Why does Alexis get so much hate? The dude has been our best player the second half of the season

I'm not saying Alexis a bad player. He's definitely been playing very well the second half of the season. His goal today was phenomenal, but I just don't think he fits in Barça's system. Then again, one can ask if Neymar will fit in Barça's system.
