    Think there were several reports of Brazilian players saying their food was poisoned prior to the 98 Final, crazy stuff.

    Anyways, glorious to see Bayern winning yesterday, so many Leipzig fans turning into whiny and salty little biches on social media.

    Bayern win in penalties and then Rockets win with a buzzer beater. Interesting night, to say the least.

    Turning? They've always been, otherwise they would've picked another club.

    Bayern today signed Alex Timossi Andersson, 16yr old Swedish talent from Helsingborgs. Plays as a winger/striker and is one of Sweden's biggest prospects.
    Breh scored six goals in four games for Sweden's U15 and was targeted by half of the Premier League, Ibrahimovic wanted ManU to sign him.

    He will continue to play for Helsingborgs and join us in 2019.

    There's nothing like cracking a beer at 6:30 in the morning in the US, watching some soccer, then watching some early college football games, being way to drunk to do anything else but sleep and crashing at 3 in the afternoon for the night!

    That's the spirit!

    Of course awake, since it's 2 in the afternoon here :D Make sure not to pass out too early, Bayern vs. Leipzig coming up later today, league-rematch from Wednesday's cup game. Should be a good one...

    Horrible game though, premier league often feels like kick&rush without any strategy. :D

    It's a different game with all the wet weather in EPL. Very difficult to compare it to other leagues. Especially when you throw Jose into the mix. These two teams uglied it up from the beginning but I'm pretty sure that's all part of the strategy.

    Btw, I think our Dutch brehs haven't been posting here since the WC qualification disaster. Hope they didn't commit suicide.

    You can just do the whale without the other stuff. Let the tattoo guy know I can delete the background, text and foreground if needed. :)

    Fun fact about me. I've seen both Germany and Netherlands play in the World Cup. In 1994.

    Also, West Brom just needs 4 goals now!
