    Many on the team hated his fake/pretend buddy style. They definitely got tired of him.

    I have no insight, so I can't say how severe the tensions were. The way they fought back after that horrible start, making it to a Europa League spot is a sign though, that they still had Klopp's back.

    Champions League this week features three times Spain against Germany with Dortmund vs. Real, Gladbach vs. Barcelona and Atletico vs. Bayern. Easy win for Barca, but the other two should be real interesting.

    Great match in Dortmund so far. Real up 1-0 but struggling defensively.

    England National Team never fails to amuse. Biggest laughing stock and quite embarrassing.

    Latest episode is Big Sam getting the boot or choosing to get the boot after a sting. LOL.

    Really entertaining match and a ton of scoring opportunities for both teams, good to see Dortmund on par with Europe's greats.

    Also showed that Dortmund's defensive issues are serious. And that Real should've signed a decent keeper. Terrible mistake by Keylor Navas, brought BVB back on track.

    That was a short stint for Allardyce.

    ****... Atlético seems to be our cryptonite. Same old ****. Müller and Ribéry need to make their chances, they don't get a lot of them in Vicente Calderón. Just happy we can't face them in the first Knockout round. On the other hand, I'm still optimistic that we can beat them at home and conquer the first spot.

    Feel like the football schedule is just too packed right now, we basically have a full year of league and tournaments in the WC/EC/Olympics years, it gets dull after a while.

    Think I've only watched two or three Bayern games this season and even skipped Sportschau a lot of times.

    First half was terrible, but I knew they would step it up in the second. That Firmino & Mane celebration was hilarious.

    Watching more than ever Bundesliga / Dortmund this year, impressive young team they got there. Pulisic is fun to watch.

    I didn't watch any of them yet, but interesting to see Red Bull around the top of the table!

    Yep, you are right. They are good in every league, every sport they try. Still will take time to get used to it!
