The 3-1 goal was phenomenal.

Dortmund started really well, but lost some energy. Also, I can see why the German fans don't particularly like this referee.

Not anymore.

Germany 8, Spain 1.

Zee German's!

4-1. Holy Shitskees. What's going on?

The Germans are very good, and Madrid for some reasons aren't tackling. If Dortmund didn't piss away so many passes they'd be annihilating Madrid even more.

[Liep]

That is their long passes. The short passing game has been extraordinary.

München has captured Lewandowski as well.

Awesome game. A German CL final now looks quite likely which will be epic for every German football fan.

Personally I'm glad to see Barcelona and Real Madrid kicked down a notch or two, they've been unbearable for the last few years.

First time I've seen someone wearing a Borussia Dortmund shirt here. My fellow plastics are expanding their teams beyond England now. 

[Josquius]

Wearing the shirts of semi-obscure (i.e. you know the name but never see much of them) teams seems quite a usual hipster thing.

[FunkMonk]

I have an Arsenal shirt so my plasticity shows through it I guess. At least I played the sport for 13 years and I'm knowledgeable about the game. 

Poor Dortmund though... Seems like they're going to lose their best players after the CL final. Wouldn't it be terrible for them to lose to Bayern in the final and then lose Gotze and Lewa to them in the summer window.

Bayern Munchen really are the Yankees.

[Viking]

Bayern Munchen really are the Yankees.

- of Germany, yes.. Real Madrid are the Yankees of Soccer.


BTW, my local team thrashing the living daylights out of Dortmund way back when...
