Fair enough but I wouldn't read to much into Lewandowski's injury. I've seen plenty of players play fine with those masks. Robben's injury is a far bigger blow, though. |

see here's the thing-- last time bayern played without robben they did well regardless. i'm not saying barcelona is porto, but bernat and gotze are plenty able on the wings. plus plus plus (midfielders, defenders, etc). lewandowski is the piece that makes the total football machine effective because he can score in that sort of commotion. otherwise the goalpoacher is muller who is great but less magic. i get that robben can break down defenses with his dribble like nobody else, but he can also render the tikitaka nulll... wait, he's bayern's messi in the power of breakdown... yes. at least on the left there's gotze and/or bernat. but no alaba. no ribery-- not yet anyway. badstuber re-injured out for the season. ah ah ha, bayern is fucked. barcelona is in full force, yes? at least the deadly trio upfront? this year the wheels are coming off bayern's cart. looking at things right now, barcelona should win the cup. barring some tactical miracle from st. pep-- that he'd have to perform twice, plus the final. very long odds. |
I would make Barcelona favourites, too, but all I meant about Lewandowski was his face injury shouldn't affect how he plays. ... Unless Barca's defenders decide to get a bit loose with their elbows, which we all know they will.

i just skipped the lot and read the bayern segment (bayern is NOT going to win this year) to NOT score away goals is a terribly risky proposition. i don't think they'll try to kill the game and not score. they'd have to do that also on the return leg. so basically they're saying the only way bayern can win is to go on penalties. sure, weirdest shit has happened, so why not. but it won't happen. bayern is finished for the season. they should go home & rest. |
No robben?? Sucks for bayern.. so will Robben go down as the Karl Malone of futbol or then Charles Barkley?
|
bayern under siege, and no robbery to launch a fast counter
smells like doom idiotically missed the first 20'; because of work (i finally got into work and forgot everything else). apparently it's something that jonathan wilson will write 16 pages about, per the guardian. well now comes more pain in the 2nd half-- is alonso going to miss the 2nd leg because of yellows?

My usual streams are fucked for the Barca game so I've had to sack off watching it. Some good stuff going on though. An intense game that's for sure.
Oh and Ronaldo is such a dick :rolleyes: |
i got my legal legit paid for fucksucker.com working-- it's great but it EATS BANDWIDTH and my internet is capped.
been saving it all month for today ha ha. cronaldo: his PR people arranged that so it can be featured in his personal museum yes? |

Karl Marlone is one of the greatest basketball players of all time, who never won the biggest trophie, always finished second or third.. same with Barkley...then i remembered its only in World Cup that Robben always loses, and has been on league teams that won their leagues so he is officially better than malone or barkley.. maybe Karl should have tried futbol??

shit i feel like i just got punched in the fucking throat
messi is great though -- AGAIN. well, fuck. i shouldn't have gotten my hopes up for a 0-0 tie. |
I just saw that goal checking the score.. looked like Grantland recommended "try not to score" almost worked for Bayern.. at least for 75 booooooooring minutes or so ;)

they were not "trying not to score"
in fact they had taken the game to barca's half after 45 minutes under siege. it had gotten balanced. messi is messi though. |
