Foluwashola Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 OMG. Can't find any words for that. Bayern should have dropped out in the group stages, in the finals against Florenz and Man U. Now they're going to the final. Can only hope for the special one now. He'll do it. What German team do you support? Assuming you support one. I'm a bit fan of Augsburg (because that's the locally closest club of the first two leagues to me) and I've started fancying Hamburg a bit the time Van der Vaart played for them. Still like them and they're probably my favourite team in the Bundesliga. But I'm not supporting any team really like I do with Newcastle. I see Augsburg could be going up this season, cool beans. Wondered where that Szabics had went aswell. Remember him from whenStuttgart into the Champions league a few years back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondered where that Szabics had went aswell. Remember him from whenStuttgart into the Champions league a few years back. I'm still not convinced that they get promoted. As things stand they will have to play against the 3rd bottom placed team of the Bundesliga (Bochum at the moment). But Augsburg lost a bit of the momentum they had earlier in the season. So I can see them failing from now to the end of the season. Obviously I hope for promotion to see the "big guns" of the Bundesliga playing here.

Village Idiot Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Just caught a clip of a Spanish TV interviewing Barça fans in the streets, and they showed one disguised as Ronaldinho... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Catalan fella at my work is twisted in knots!! He can't sit still and keeps stopping by my office to ask me what I think. I told him Inter would get an away goal so Barca had to score 4 - he looked distressed... He said he was on the phone to his family four times in the last 12 hours asking them what was going on. The word is that the Barca fans have honked their car horns outside of the Inter hotel all night. They are also chanting about "leaving their skin on the pitch"!!??!! That sounds foul but I think it gets lost in translation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Apparantly after their match against Xerez, the players were instructed to wear shirts talking about "leaving their skin on the pitch" (as Canuck said) to build up the atmosphere for tonight. The players looked uncomfortable and overall it seems a bit naff. But they're trying to graduate from the 'Sky Sports school of mega-hype'..... I'm sure VI knows more of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Apparently Figo will be alongside Mourinho on the Bench tonight.

ponsaelius Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Yeah, been reading on their forum and there is some massive hype machine building behind this game. http://www.esportiu.cat/wp-content/uploads/deixaremlapell.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs448.snc3/25693_1443776700355_1411252868_31193997_7182258_n.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm1pqWstmdQ&feature=player_embedded Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5HsqrDVsUs&feature=player_embedded Undecided on this kind of thing tbh. I guess it's nice to see the passion behind it and if it comes off then fair play, however it all seems a bit overstated. Maybe they should just focus on the football.

That sounds foul but I think it gets lost in translation. That's a common Spanish expression, which means "to give it all". I have been nervous the whole fucking morning at work, and while my boss usually ignores me, today he's chosen to hold a couple impromptu meetings. I'm trying to not get myself too hopeful, so the disappointment isn't so big. But still... Aggggggggggghhhhhhhhh All the media, shirts, etc... thing is something that this board has tried to bring to the table in the past few years. Comes off a bit forced to me but well, guess younger generations/gloryhunters buy into it (and buy the shirts too). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a player get injured in warm-up you are allowed to take a change as well without using one of the subs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
