Bundesliga

Since when was the buli on fox sports?

Darn it, you're right, I was thinking of La Liga. *sigh*

In any case, I'm going to start paying attention to Dortmund and see if I get attached to them.

 

[Haffa]

It's not. Still exclusively on Setanta for this season, and will be until the end of 2014/15 at a minimum. With Fox Sports in the US picking it up, it wouldn't surprise me to see fox sports australia pick it up at renewal though.

 

[saint.nick]

I can see them picking up the Bundesliga. Fox Sports are trying to grow their football coverage, so they will probably have either Bundeslida, Serie A or both in the near future.

Haven't watched it since Setanta was separated from Fox but still follow WB.

I dont get why people diss the BL. If you dont like it then dont watch it.

Simples.

Bayern Munich currently 20 points ahead with 13 games still remaining in the Bayernsliga.

Joke of a league.

Manure pretty much had the PL wrapped up this time last year and nobody called the PL a 'joke'.

Who cares about the point gap. How many people here actually have a BuLi side they follow. I watch as many games as I can despite not following anyone. Some cracking games most weeks. Plus if you can't enjoy the first 30 mins of that Bayern vs Schalke match this morning then you're hard to please. Bayern were an absolute joy to watch. Even the missed chances were stunning

I thought the lead was only 10 points in the Bayernliga Süd? :?

They weren't reigning champs. And look at them now. Bayern are reigning champs. They're running away with it again and they'll run away with it next season.

Best team in the world

Best team in the world

First half last night was stunning. The fact Goëtze was almost invisible due to how good Kroos and Thiago were playing says a lot IMO. The 2 chances Mandzukic had saved in the first half were as good as any lead up play I've seen this year.

Was something like 80% possession at half time wasn't it?

 

[saint.nick]

And yet they still conceded a goal. Losers...

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

You don't get 80+ crosses in a match in Germany so I can understand why most EPL fans can't see the appeal of proper football

The irony is though that the 20 point gap exists because outside of Bayern (the best team in the world who comfortably disposed of the champions of Spain, Germany and Italy and also teams from the so called best league in the world in Europe in the last 12 months) the other teams are mostly all on par. If Dortmund weren't the Souffs of Germany and could actually beat a top 6 team the gap would be 5-10 points.

 

[Jack_Napier]

Haha what was it 82 crosses or something by man Yoo for 1 goal.

 

[saint.nick]

What channel is Bundesliga on? I'm interested in it but I don't think I have access to it...

 

[Jack_Napier]

Setanta mate. Gotta pay extra for it.

 

[saint.nick]

See this is a reason why not many people watch it. I don't know many people with Setanta, and they don't wanna pay extra for it because they don't have anything to watch on there.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

If only we had the technology available to access alternate methods of watching sport not available to us......

 

[Jack_Napier]

Yeah I pretty much only watch the BuLi on it. Tiny bit of interest in the championship from England when it gets to the end of the year.

Imagine if we could send our own holograms to games, like in Star Wars
