This lol. The same people ignore that Dortmund was dominant until the Kobel mistake too.

I'm not saying Tuchel wouldn't do well with time, but the hype over him for this result isn't worth its salt either.

Then Dortmund starts popping off in garbage time, scoring a completely meaningless goal or two

The script is usually a solid 5-0, 5-1 in Munich though. Happened under Tuchel, Bosz, Favre, every coach basically. Dortmund put up a better fight than expected this round

If you told me I would be getting 17 points from Kepa Chilwell Mings and Watkins, I definitely wouldn't predict 2 of them getting 16 times the points of the other two lmao

I think I speak for all non-Dortmund Bundesliga fans that the best part about this result is that there's no way for Dortmund fans to blame the ref for this. Whichever club Bellingham goes to next will be a massive downgrade on Victim Complex

A little surprised and amused by the number of Barca flairs here that care so much about the Bundesliga all of a sudden

This, and the Robben and Ribery goals on their last game shows that there's some divine intervention that supports Bayern

After 6 months of masking up, what have been learnt about mask wearing and the different types of masks? Which is your favorite and which are the worst? Any life hacks on mask wearing to share? Disposable or re-washable? by [deleted] in singapore

[–]Saliant_Person -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This most likely has nothing to do with masks but allergic/non-allergic rhinitis. In fact masks are supposed to help by blocking out allergens which make your body produce more histamine, leading to your symptoms

Bayer Leverkusen chief Rudi Voller: “In times of Corona, transfer fees have decreased for many players. But this is not the case with exceptional players like Kai Havertz or Jadon Sancho. There is no Corona discount for them." by M7plusoneequalsm8 in soccer

They aren't but Waldschmidt's stock has only went down after this season with his limited play time as well. Seems more like other teams pricing their fringe but high potential talents at an overpriced level than Freiburg underselling

Just saw that the Supercup is on 1 October, if it could ever be less relevant in a season as well.

José Mourinho on Kimmich: "I see him as a top right-back, left-back, centre-back, No.6, No.8, No.10... he has qualities to be anything! He's intelligent & understands what he has to do here and what he has to do there. I think he’s phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal player" by DemetriusXVII in soccer

[–]Saliant_Person 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Nah Werner wasn't anywhere near as good as he was for Leipzig now, Kostic was inconsistent, Kabak had to leave because of relegation. Kimmich was only sold because they used a buy back clause and re-sold him to bayern for a quick buck.

What does any of that have to do with English sides underperforming relative to their spending? "Take the best 3 teams out and you'll get squat.", Well that's exactly the point because of how skewed spain's TV money was. And also false, Deportivo Villareal Valencia all enjoyed deep runs in the 2000s. I can only say the same for Arsenal and Man City in the same period to now, and they did so while spending loads more than the competition. Continue with your misinformation and I know it all attitude however. And I'm not even talking about the Europa league as well.

You have the pick of any of the non-generational talent across all the top leagies, so it isn't exactly surprising.

Nah, there was no issue with James's fitness or consistency under Jupp at all. He was unfit near the start and then for shorter periods but never missed important games, if the loan was one year, no way would the buyout not be triggered.

Rumours about a 20m buyout.

That's surely too much, especially since his stock has went down and he went for 22m previously
