Anybody watching the Bundesliga this morning?

RchW · 05-16-2020, 11:59 AM

I'm watching but there is a sterility to the game I'm watching with the echoes in stadium. It's cool to have some sports back, but maybe I expected too much.

Yeah, I was looking forward to it too, but it appears football suffers much more from lack of fans than the Asian baseball I’ve been watching

Well that and the lack of match sharpness, too.

Edit: final 15-20 mins seems to be picking up in most games

Hip Hop Dortmund beat Schalke 4-0.

A few sex dolls in the stands would have helped.

I caught a bit of it yesterday and yes, it was weird not hearing that constant chanting throughout the match.

Bayern are still up four points and trying for their 8th consecutive league title.
I am happy

That's - ... That's ... (windmills with both arms) That's even worse!

Ah, what the heck. My team's heading straight for oblivion...

rudel.dietrich · 06-19-2020, 01:18 AM

And that makes it 8 straight. And they can now rest and heal before the resumption of the Champions League and try and win that as well.
And on July 4th is the final of the German Cup.

It would be a nice end of a weird season for them to win the treble.

Objection!

OBJECTION!!

Oh well... all I want is for my Greens to somehow snatch 16th after all..... then play Hamburg in the relegation playoff.

My Bremians scrabbling for survival in the relegation playoffs. It's actually on Amazon Prime. 20 minutes in, I am reminded of how boring soccerball is.

rudel.dietrich · 08-14-2020, 06:29 PM

So Bayern scored 9 goals today. Unfortunately 1 of them was for Barcelona. But 8 of them were against Barcelona so that worked out in the end.

Is Alphonso Davies the best wingback in football at 19?

No, but if I was building a future team I would take him given his young age.
And he is damn good already and not far off some of the worlds best.

Single game knockout for the champions league is so much better. And no waiting forever between rounds, I hope they do it this way all the time now.

rudel.dietrich · 08-20-2020, 01:16 AM

Lyon were a great story but Bayern simply have more talent.
The game against PSG will be hard but it is winnable and would cap off the treble and a great ending to a horrible year.

Not happen, firstly they'll go back to 2 legs they may even in the future go to a league set up, more games more cash.

They'll not go to playing games every few days as it's a different time we are in, dont forget leagues have been shut down or rearranged there schedules that's why the CL have been able to play every few days.
