Village Idiot

Redknapp Was hoping to see some new puppets though. They haven't even bothered to update Rooney's hair FFS.

Gotta say I missed having a Brazilian attacking player in our side. After Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho... he breaks the "R" meme though. Anyway, I'll try to not be too hyped as to not jinx him. Our track record signing attacking players has been terrible during this "era", funnily.

Retaining the CL has never been done in this current format, for starters.

I'm still not confident about that being the final figure. Agree on Rosell's stewardship being better though.

Worst "neutral" result since Porto-Monaco for me.

By the way, this result sets up another Pep-Mou face off in the European Super Cup.

Back to the game, on hindsight, I think that Klopp misread the game when he didn't make any change until so late. Dortmund were completely spent and should have used the bench instead of bidding his time until the ET.

Looked like you gave a f*** when Jozy was tearing you to bits. I was in the US back then, I claim that win as mine too.

Good thing about the Confederations Cup is that since most teams don't give a fuck it's usually pretty open and unpredictable.

I love how Pardew bashing comes up randomly in the most offshot ways in this forum. It's just so visceral and deep-seated.

Saddest thing is that this Dortmund side will be picked apart without at least having the CL to show up for it.

Not much in it between these two, and given the vast difference in resources it would have been much more satisfying and indeed deserved to see Dortmund lift the trophy really. I wanted Dortmund to win too, they're immensely more likeable, but Bayern were far away the best side in the second half. Dortmund just tired.

And my Singaporese Bayern fan already messaging me on Facebook to gloat, barely gave it time

Easily the most outstanding side in Europe this year, can't really fault Bayern for winning, tbf.

And Robben redeems himself. Written in the stars.

Did the score go 2-1 to Dortmund for a moment?

Expended a lot of energy first half coming out of the blocks as quick as they did. And they don't have too much on their bench compared to Bayern.

Bayern just seem way fitter if this goes to ET. Dortmund starting to look exhausted.

Always thought that Weidenfeller was a bit of a weak link for Dortmund but he's risen to the occasion today. Hats off.

Subotic man. Will make history books if Dortmund end up winning this.

Really love how German fans yell the name of the goalscorers.

Should've been sent off too.

Pen!
