Great OP. Nice to have Köln return so all those clubs having them as their rival can finally play them again regularly. (Also, Karneval in Cologne easily beats these other fucks.)

Still hoping for the cool lads of the BVB to end Bayern domination.

By the way, Lewandowski scored in his first match for Bayern. Pretty amazing how he can just walk into a team, any team, and start banging them in. Imagine if here were German, phwoar

It was still only a draw though. Against Duisburg! (I know, it doesn't mean anything.)

Reus will be 29 at the next World Cup. If he is as good then as he is now, he will surely have a place in the team, but starting your World Cup career at 29 isn't ideal.

Papieren Bitte?

Nationality is just a formality, I try to move to a different country every year or so. But if it is an consolation I am planning on buying an apartment in Berlin so gently caress off.

I don't get why you get so much more hostility for having actually lived in Germany and supporting a mid-table club (at the most), compared to Danish Barca plastics.

It's probably a bit unfair for Guardiola. Instead of taking over after a bad season for a failed manager, he followed after one of the most successful managers Bayern ever had. Heynkes won everything that could be won. Defending the Champions League title has never happened, so Pep had a huge mountain to climb. He "only" won the double and not as many points in the league as Jupp. But it's still a good achievement. Now Bayern is the club most affected by the World Cup, and it could actually happen that they have a weak Bundesliga start and maybe they fail to win the league. Then everybody will be out for his head, and I'm not sure how justified that will be.

What did he say now?

BVB doing the Kapitalerhöhung was copying the business model of Bayern and it's the biggest compliment for them.

It's really starting to get silly, thankfully the first Bundesliga game is today and they can stop the constant sniping at each other.


Katana Gomai posted:

Can't wait until Dortmund realizes the reason why all their good players leave is not money.

What are they supposed to do, roll over and let Bayern win every single Meisterschaft in the future? Having more money helps close the gap with Bayern, and a few good runs in the CL will help even more.

It's even on the "front page" of the Guardian football blog! Here: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/sep/16/tim-wiese-germany-goalkeeper-wwe-wrestling-offer

quote:

Wiese, who has six international caps for Germany and was part of his country’s World Cup squad in 2010, has drastically transformed his physique and now weighs 115kg (18st 1lb). It has been suggested that Wiese would spend around a year training in Florida and could then become the lead wrestler in the WWE’s plans for Germany, where events are now being broadcast on free-to-air television for the first time in 12 years.
