if you can find a video of today's game, he came in pretty late so watch just the last 10 minutes or so. the way he'd cut into that defense was like a hot knife through butter. i was laughing in amazement. defied teh laws of physics.
bayern had a similar problem vs. stuttgart last weekend in that they ruled but scored a meager 2-0 for all their supreme dominance. today maybe it was chance that got in the way of more goals, but still. one of the problems is that lewandowski is not working out as he did w/ borussia-- karma, probably, ha ha ha.

I LOVE Robben, he is one of my all time fav players, as you said he defies rules of nature when he is on, michael cox said he was clearly that best individual performance of the WC.. I clearly should have watched the last 27 instead of first 27 but I dont get to choose my lunch and I rarely even have it open enough to watch a game
