2013 Champions League Final GT: Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich

[RagaZ]

This gonna be good!

Its gonna be a great atmosphere at Wembley and hopefully a great final.

[Andrew Wiggins]

Dortmund 2-1

auf gehts!

[9erempiree]

The news of two Borussia players going to Bayern is a turn off. Doesn't make this game feel special at all.

Also, it's never good when two teams from the same league play in CL.

[kNIOKAS]

Tomorrow I'm going to Wembley Asda... It's as close as it gets.

I bet the ticket is like 1000 pounds or something.

[The_Yearning]

Hopefully Dortmund wins. I'm thinking 1-0 or 1-1 and Dortmund wins on penalties even though they are notoriously bad at it.

[daj0264]

i want dortmund to win but i would rather bayern win in a high scoring exciting match then dortmund in a boring game.

[knickballer]

As the Brits say it's gonna be a cracker!

Dortmund beat Bayern last year 5-2 in a cup final.

[alenleomessi]

Shame the Dortmund fans won't be able to sneak this into Wembley!

Very much hoping for a Dortmund win tomorrow!

Why would they embarrass themselves again. Everybody knows they stole the concept from AC Milan fans.

Don't care who wins, hopefully it's a good match. Bayern lost last year in the final, right? So I'll probably pull for them.

Fans copying off eachother is a very common thing... What surprises me is that they think this or that gimmick is actually cool and worth doing.:rolleyes:

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Going to watch, but I can see it being a very boring game.

[RagaZ]

As the Brits say it's gonna be a cracker!
In German its: DAS WIRD EIN HAMMERSPIEL HEUTE!

[9erempiree]

There are going to be a lot of flopping in this game. Too much at stake and these Euros will do anything.

:oldlol:

Its much worse when Real and Barca meet.

[alenleomessi]

i think all of us who are not big fans of dortmund or bayern are hoping for penalties... there is nothing more exciting :cheers:

True that, let's hope for something like last year.. What a match

[RagaZ]

False. Horrible result. Football lost.

[blablabla]

Weidenfeller - Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer - Bender, G

[alenleomessi]

wtf is this game of thrones opening :lol

[9erempiree]

Will Smith is there. :applause:

[9erempiree]

My boy Ribery better get his.

Hope he can come to MLS.

Maybe NYCFC

[daj0264]

really good so far

[The_Yearning]

There are going to be a lot of flopping in this game. Too much at stake and these Euros will do anything.

These guys aren't in La Liga or even EPL.

[The_Yearning]

Handball from Ribery

[daj0264]

Handball from Ribery


even if it did touch his hand which im not too sure about it wasnt deliberate

[alenleomessi]

dortmund much better so far

[daj0264]

kobe aint got nothing on robben

[alenleomessi]

should have been like 2-2 already

[Burgz V2]

these keepers are amazing today

and Reus looking dangerous, i bet he scores today.

[The_Yearning]

Robben has wasted so many chances

[9erempiree]

These goal keepers are freaking amazing! They are the man of the match.

Using their faces to stop shots.

:applause:

[kNIOKAS]

Pretty good game.

I think Robben is a limited player for a striker, as now he's basically playing in the spearhead. Bad day for him... Where's Gomez though? Injuried?

[Uncle Drew]

Robben is the greatest choker in history.

[daj0264]

Pretty good game.

most one footed player i've ever seen

[9erempiree]

Robben a choker?

I think it's good saves.

[RagaZ]

kobe aint got nothing on robben
At least Kobe wins his finals:oldlol:

[Brunch@Five]

Pretty good game.

I think Robben is a limited player for a striker, as now he's basically playing in the spearhead. Bad day for him... Where's Gomez though? Injuried?

Robben is an incredibly bad finisher, due to him being absolutely unable to use his right (edit) foot.

Gomez hasn't been Bayern's starting striker for the whole season.

[Brunch@Five]

what's your take on Ribery's possible red card earlier? IMO he clearly and deliberatly struck Lewandowski in the face. Should have been sent off.

[Burgz V2]

Robben is an incredibly bad finisher, due to him being absolutely unable to use his left foot.

Gomez hasn't been Bayern's starting striker for the whole season.

...Robben is left footed...:wtf:

[The_Yearning]

Robben has the best left foot in the game...

[daj0264]

penalty

[alenleomessi]

gundogan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what a player!!!

[bdreason]

Awesome game so far.


Shouldn't that be a red card for his 2nd yellow though?

[alenleomessi]

Robben has the best left foot in the game...
messi and bale are left footed

[The_Yearning]

Bayern should be down to 9 men right now

[alenleomessi]

Awesome game so far.


Shouldn't that be a red card for his 2nd yellow though?
he didnt get a 2nd yellow. he absolutely should have though

[Uncle Drew]

Subotic :bowdown:

[bdreason]

Holy **** this game is exciting. Amazing defensive save there. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[alenleomessi]

holly shit thats goat stuff from subotic right there :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[daj0264]

Subotic :bowdown:


:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[bdreason]

Ribbery flop. :no:

[The_Yearning]

:facepalm When the going gets tough these Bayern players resort to diving

[daj0264]

****ing love football.

[The Real JW]

1-1? Soccer is so boring.

[The_Yearning]

Hummels makes too many mistakes

[alenleomessi]

what a f*cking game there better be extra time

[bdreason]

Mueller flop. :no:

[The_Yearning]

Muller has no right to complain... Bayern should be down to 9 men.

[Blue&Orange]

I'm starting to see a pattern here, players with bad hairlines don't like finals.

[Uncle Drew]

Fvck.

[daj0264]

such a choker

[kNIOKAS]

Robben prevails, in his usual pattern... Sad for Dortmund, I think they're worth the victory just as much.

[bdreason]

Grats to Robben and Bayern. Well deserved.

[alenleomessi]

robben big time player

[kNIOKAS]

robben big time player
I remember when he lost everything he could, playing in finals with NT and with Bayern. It's unfair to say he is, but he must be happy today, anyway.

[9erempiree]

Pretty good game.

I think Robben is a limited player for a striker, as now he's basically playing in the spearhead. Bad day for him... Where's Gomez though? Injuried?

Pathetic.

:facepalm

[9erempiree]

Robben is the greatest choker in history.

You must be european.

:facepalm

Never give up.

[9erempiree]

Robben is an incredibly bad finisher, due to him being absolutely unable to use his right (edit) foot.

Gomez hasn't been Bayern's starting striker for the whole season.

Pathetic going to pathetic.

:facepalm

[9erempiree]

Congrats to both teams!

:applause:

[daj0264]

Mourinho vs Pep in the super cup :banana:

[LJJ]

:applause: Robben

Assists the first goal, scores the match winner and he was the most dangerous player on the field throughout the game.


It's a bit sad for Dortmund and they showed a lot more heart than Bayern this game, but if Bayern wins this is the best case scenario: they win solely through the guy all of Bayern seems to under appreciate.

[Burgz V2]

Bayern owes Neuer a drink or ten tonight. World class player.

Bayern lucky not to get a red card on that penalty, studs up in a dudes gut. People will say clumsy, but still as a central defender you cant have your boots that high in the box. Would have changed the game drastically.

Alas, great game, probably more entertaining without the red. If you consider what happened to Bayern over the years especially last year, you can't be mad at them winning. Just this Dortmund team is just so damn likeable.

Guardiola in next year. Bayern is one win from a treble, not sure how you can top that.

[9erempiree]

Who's the blonde shaking the Bayern players as they walk up the stairs?

[alenleomessi]

totally forgot toni kroos wasnt even playing... god dammit bayern will be even scarier next season

[9erempiree]

Bayern will be running the triangle offense next season...:facepalm

[The_Yearning]

Doesn't change the fact that Bayern are still full of chokers. I think Dortmund would have won if they Gotze was playing or the refs called the game correctly.

[Burgz V2]

Robben is the greatest choker in history.

:roll: :roll: :roll:

thats what you get for knee jerking.

[9erempiree]

It's funny how the Europeans on this site would bash a player during a game while the Americans would back them up till the end. It's 90 minutes and the game is not over till it's over.

Never give up. Robben came through.

I don't know if you guys or gals should be following American sports.

we "Europeans" were calling it like we saw it, which is what you should do as a neutral observer. Robben has been a horrendous finisher ever since the 2010 campaign. He did score and redeem himself, but he should have scored a long time before his winning goal.

[LEFT4DEAD]

is this real?:biggums:
I think only Ivanovic scored in stoppage time. Everything else, completely the same.

well tbh if it wasnt for robben they wouldnt have been in that 2010 WC or 2010 CL final anyway, so yeah, its not like he came in out of nowhere and ruined the teams chances, he lead them there.

its different when lebron/kobe chokes or when jason terry chokes.

yeah I meant since after 2010. He was obviously great during those runs. But it's not only choking in big games. He has been a poor finisher in front of goal for the past 2 years period. Even against poor teams in Bundesliga.

Non-English Europeans give up and quit easily. It's something I've noticed from hanging around with them for a long time.

[Brunch@Five]

A big LOL at Americans not hating on players during games. How can you say that on ISH of all places with a straight face? Like Kobe and Bron never existed :oldlol:

everyone who reads the gamethreads on the nba forum knows that americans change their opinion about one player million times during one game

especially if you read them the next day after the game finished you will be all like :biggums:
