So weird to see Contento on the pitch instead of on the bench...

Schweini trying to imitate Dirk Nowitzki?

(Just for reference: at this point in the DFB Pokal Final, Dortmund already led 1-0 vs Bayern)

Chelsea's defense is so ****. The problem for Bayern right now is Chelsea's counter is quite good tonight and Munich won't commit more to torching that shoddy blue defense.

The pick seen around the world...

Bayern is better, but cannot get clear scoring chances - that shot by Müller was a good start though.

Wow. That was terrible.

Mario Gomez is actually a pretty decent striker... might be hard to believe so far, but he really is.

yes he is, scored 12 goals already, there are like 6-7 players in cl history (since 1955) who did that.

I can't believe it will likely be 0-0 going into the half.

Not too bothered. Hopefully Mikel can keep this up

Half time, 0-0. Bayern is clearly better, but cannot convert their chances. To be fair, they did not have a big "cannot miss" chance, but 3-4 "do-ables".

i'm not sure chelsea is an english team. u sure they're not from italy? horrible, bayern needs to finish them off asap.

It's the game I expected. Chelsea aren't going to dominate possession and Bayern are going to be on full attack and that's alright. Chelsea if they win will doing it on the counter attack and with a bit of luck on the defending.

everyone is talking about the amazing save Cech made on Robben...i thought it was extremely lucky

Post #1357 » by **5DOM** » Sat May 19, 2012 7:46 pm

Was neither amazing nor lucky imo. He was in a good position to save the shot and he did

2nd half!!

Robben could have passed it off to Gomez.

I must admit that the Chelsea "rope a dope" tactic is ugly as hell, but seems darn effective.
