Bayern Munich vs. Real Madrid in two hours. So excited.

Bayern Munich vs. Real Madrid in two hours. So excited.

I know it's terrible for an Italian fan to do this but, yeah, I'm rooting for the Germans. Bayern and Chelsea in the Final (I know, I know...) would be ideal for me. Napoli fans would at least be able to say that we lost (and, at one point, beat and tied) to the eventual winner/best of the best in our first ever CL.

Prediction:

Bayern 1 (Olic) - 2 (Ronaldo, Özil) Madrid

Because of your Ronaldo hate ?

Anyway, are you Americans able to watch it right now somehere on TV ?

[Vasall des Midas]

Oh yeah, congrats Roland!

I just looked up the UEFA 5 years coefficient, and Austria won a second place in the CL qualifiers.

I gave my rest in my post but, yeah, disliking Ronaldo and Mourinho helps.


We are able to watch on Fox Soccer Channel right now.

What does it mean ? The 1st and 2nd in the Austrian league (currently Salzburg and Rapid Wien) are already "fix" in the CL qualifiers if they end up 1st and 2nd after the season is over ?

[Tender Branson]

Bayern fans not happy with Webb's call ... But I guess it's OK.

[Tender Branson]

BAYERN GOOOALLLL !!!

No. Points from 07-08 to 11-12 seasons determine who qualifies for what during 12-13, so you have two CL qualifier places in the summer of '13.

BTW, as an explanation for you Americans:

After a goal, the Bayern stadium speaker says "Goal for the FC Bayern München" followed by "Bayern" after which the fans say "1". Then the speaker says "Madrid" and the fans say "0" (which they say even if Bayern is up let's say 3:1 and Madrid just scored a goal). The speaker then says "Danke !" (Thank You !) and the fans shout "Bitte !" (You are welcome !")

[Vasall des Midas]

I always shout the true answer if the opposition also has goals. And "Halts Maul" instead of "bitte".
Then again, I'm not at Bayern. At least they don't feel the need here to shout the scorer's name three times. (Cause you forgot the part about the announcer saying the first name and the stadium answering the last name of the scorer...)

Ah yeah, of course, the player's name.

I wonder if they do the same at American Football games. I never listened hard enough.

[Tender Branson]

Very good game so far, I didn't expect Bayern would play so actively. About 3 times better than against Dortmund.

[Vasall des Midas]

Bayern goal was  irregular btw. (Offside Bayern player blocking goalkeeper's way and sight.)

Somehow I'm not surprised.

[Vasall des Midas]

GOL!

[Vasall des Midas]

Well, sh!t.

[Lief]

Are you seriously cheering for Madrid Lewis? That's disgusting.

Duh, I am not mentally ill, hence I mourn every game of Bayern's that doesn't end in a double digit loss.

[Vasall des Midas]

Anyways, on to the epic battle of Lawful Neutral (with Evil leanings) vs Absolute Evil tomorrow. Today was just common everyday Neutral Evil vs Absolute Evil, of course.

[Tender Branson]

Let's all hope Barcelona eats Chelsea alive ...

[Tender Branson]

Prediction: 3-1 Barcelona

[Lief]

Ugh, rooting for Chelsea goes against everything I believe in, but such is my hate for Barca. I will be taking a long shower after this.

[Lief]

Messi gives the ball away (!!!), Chelsea counter-attack, Drogba scores!



YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Lief]

The Barca bias among commentators/journalists is ridiculous and disgusting. Messi slaloming straight into a wall of Chelsea players is "BRILLIANT!" but Cahill dispossessing him is merely "very good."
