I'm really into Goltv at the moment. Probably because it's the one of the only options for american soccor fans. I find myself more and more watching Bundesliga matchups.
 
Does anyone else watch the Bundesliga?

Ich nicht.....I would say the English premier is more suitable for me.

The premiership has it sown up.
Just wish they'd capped the wages.
When primadonna's are earning £150,000 per week (yes, per week!!)for running around on some grass for 90 minutes, if they dont fall over and graze their knees that is and maybe have to leave the pitch for some magic cold sponge. Sorry, i love footy but find their earnings a bloody disgrace to the normal man.
A friend of mine takes his son to watch Chelsea and reckons he doesnt get much change out of £200. Its a game of football for christ's sake!!!!!
Ok, im calm, im calm!!!!!

Yes albell I agree: pro sports are supported by another sort of prices balloon* all over the world...someday it will have to explode or much better: to implode..hehe...

Bayern Munich 2
Manchester U 1
 
Told you so.

I've heard it said, that Every major power, in the world of football; Likes to out-do their opponents. If not, preferably 'on-the-field'; Then at least 'off'-field. In that regard... The 'Aussies' are No 'slackers'!

Ps. I might be one of the minority of all Americans, who has since learned Not to refer to the rest of the worlds' beloved sport, as 'soccer'! --

Nichts zo schnell, Soco. There's still the second leg to come at Old Trafford. As you know, away goals count double in the event of a draw, so Man U only need to win 1-0 to go through to the next round.It's been a while since Bayern were regarded as one of the top European teams..done well to get this far. I predict Man u 3, Bayern 0.

Fulham 1 Wolfsburg 0 after 60 minutes

Fulham 2 Wolfsburg 0 after 62 minutes
Germans pulled on back.
2-1 full time .
Not a good result for Fulham.

Well, the day was german but I considered this an upset!

Header in the 89th minute for the away goal! Go Wolfies!
 
I was thinking about you while I was reading the updates for the game. I wondered if FFC won 2-0 if you would throw that back in my face. Just to be clear, that's exactly what I would do There's a show on Goltv called, Europa League Update. I'll have to watch it in 2 hours to actually see any of the action. I could only watch Valencia v Atl. Madrid on TV and I was at work anyway. I hear that DirecTV is much better, but also more expensive. Hamburg won today and Liverpool lost.
 
We could have a Bundesliga team as champion in both Champions League and Europa League.
 
To be fair, I can't watch Premiere League on GolTV, or I might have gotten into it as well.

The proper football etiquette , when you are 2 nil up is to taunt the opposition fans with a spirited rendition of "it's all gone quiet over there!".
I would not be putting too much money on Wolfsburg in the second leg.However the away goal they scored gives them a chance. Hamburg have a strong chance of winning the Europa, but how can I put this..The only thing Bayern will get from the 2nd leg will be frequent flyer points.Did not see the Liverpool game yet, not a bad result though,and I think Liverpool had a man sent off and gave away two penalties. Again in the 2nd leg, at Anfield, the cream will come to the top.

did you see the Man u v Bayern game , SC. Just finished, so don't want to ruin it for you by giving away the score, if you will be watching later

I haven't seen it yet, but I have a bad feeling if you are already posting to this thread. I'm going to catch the replay on FSC. There's always Wolfsburg later this week I guess.

3-2 Manchester are you kidding me?! Thanks for not ruining the outcome. I watched the game and could not believe it. Up 3 nothing almost instantly, to losing because of Robbin's away goal, down a man.
 
Wow. Bayern in the Final Four!
 
--SoCo

Is that why last years two EUFA finalists were from the English league? And this year one of two was? And in the last two years no Bundesliga
team even made the semis? The English league has 5 of the top ten teams in EUFA. It is far and away above the others. Man. U Chelsea. Liverpool, Arsenal. Name one German team that could beat any of them. What a joke. You know less about soccer than you do about chess.

Ever watch Fox SC? It has one and sometimes two English league game per week and a two hour call in show each week. If I want to watch some Bolivian league crap I'll watch Gol TV.

Weren't three of the final four EUFA teams last year froim England? And this year it was One English and Barca?
 
If the Kraut league is so superior why no Bunde teams in the EUFA Cup final? You have heard of the EUFA CUP right? Try ESPN and FOX Sports.
 
Even the Dutch all play there.

CURRENT EUFA CLUB RANKINGS :
 
#1 Barcelona
#2 Man. UTD.
#3 Chelsea
#4 Arsenal
#5 Liverpool
#6 Sevilla
#7 Bayern Munich
#8 AC Milan
#9 Lyon
10 Inter Milan
 
One team in the top ten! At#7 And the Bundes is the top league?
Throw in Germany's best player (Ballack) plays in England and there National Goalie dives under a train and a total lack of German teams in the EUFA final Four the last two years and you conclude that the Bundesliga is #1? Amazing. You know, junior, I saw Pele play in St. Louis in 1966 at age 13 and I saw the US beat Honduras in Chicago a few months ago. You know crap about soccer, SC.

What a thrilling game! Three minutes in and it's 1-nil !, 7 minutes in and its 2-nil !!, 41 minutes in and its 3- nil !!!, and I'm a legend among tipsters. Even though I predicted a Man UTD landslide win,I was actually hoping for a Bayern victory. Reason being that the English premier team with the deepest pockets, can buy success by signing up the world's best players...as is the case with Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal.It is an unfair system. So I was stoked that Bayern came back from the dead.It's also great news that Bayern dodged a bullet by not being drawn against Barcelona or Inter Milan in the next round. I would love to see Bayern in the Final..anything can happen , then.
