    Hey by all means take credit for Thiago though if he becomes great. Maybe you'll get lucky and he'll nationalize German.

    And trust in your Barca bred coach too!

    Is TSV 1860 Rosenheim related to Bayern? I assume not but I guess sam could be said about Messi and Iniesta.

    I might just be getting a bit sour at this point. I want football already and wish today's game wasn't a friendly

    Rosenheim is in the region. Basti has been at Bayern since he was 13 or 14. What do you consider "bred" at a club? Playing there from age three on?

    Fun fact: Schweinsteiger was also one of Germany's best skiers when he was younger.

    And I'll let it be known that I don't like Rosell and I didn't like the Neymar circus especially if they missed out. Rosell's talent evaluation is **** tbh. Everyone could see how great Ronaldinho was going to be

    Bayern-Barca today, we have more than the necessary ingredients for another embarrassment today. Let's recap how Barca comes into this game: Everyone who played in Confederations Cup is still on vacation ( Iniesta, Xavi, Pedro, Alba, Busquets, Pique, Valdes, Dani Alves, Neymar), Puyol still recuperating form injury, no coach, away, and first game of preseason. Bayern on the other hand seems to be in the same form or better than last year ( add Gotze and Thiago), having won all their preseason games with a goal differential of 20 something. I don't know who at Barca scheduled/approved this game but clearly this isn't the best time to have it.

    I honestly don't see how we win this game, unless Messi has one of those magical nights ( which we know he is more than capable of doing).

    It's a friendly. Chill out. If anything it's a chance for a family reunion.

    Was a pretty boring game, Barca didn't have many of their best players available and Bayern didn't really try. I think if Bayern had really given it their best against this unprepared Barca B squad, it could have been 5-0 or 6-0 easily. Ribery looks very sharp. Thiago didn't play well at all, some missed passes, didn't show much. I have a suspicion that he tries to be too fancy sometimes. Kroos kind of sucked, as usual. Best players on Bayern were Ribery, Alaba, Lahm. Nobody really stood out on Barca's side. To my surprise, Basti played 30 minutes. Said afterwards that his ankle is better right now, but we'll have to see tomorrow.

    The crowd did "La Ola" constantly.

    Kroos is so unbelievably lethargic, it's crazy. They have these new cameras and system where they track every player movement, walking distance, ...
    Bet his average speed is like 2mph, it's crazy. Barely tries to pressure opponents, watches the ball and doesn't try to catch opponents that are walking past him.

    Yeah, Kroos pisses me off all the time. I wouldn't miss him much if he was gone. But he is talented, can play good passes and has a decent shot.

    I LOLed at Philipp scoring with a header. I didn't think I would ever see that happen.

    I was there with my cousin's husband who was born in Barcelona (a German guy) and is a fanatic Barca fan (with a season ticket).

    Feels good to watch football live again.

    What's up with the crowd always singing that song by the White Stripes. Does it have a special meaning or something or do they just like that song?

    Bayern just plays that song when we score a goal. Since we score a lot of goals, you have been hearing the song often...
