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

Weren't the Japs proposing that for their 2022 WC bid?

It'd actually be a creepy sight...It'd look like a stadium full of ghosts

Bayern can wrap up the title next week. Surely among the earliest wins in the history of any European league?

Closer to a month ago but I get ya. I barely visit this thread so I don't know if it's been spoken about lol.

Would have too be close, i struggle to see, when they will next be beat in the BL

Bayern's domination confirmed and it is still snowing in parts of Europe...

Cause for German concern?

The best league in the world? But Bayern Munich won the league earlier than every Bundesliga side has ever done! Bayer Leverkusen? Are you serious? Manchester United and Paris SG! FC Schalke 04? At least it was Real Madrid! But see how they play! Borussia Dortmund? For once, please stop moaning. The injured players! The players that left! Time does not change anything.

The Bundesliga have now gone winless in their seven most recent Champions League games. Bayern drew twice, Dortmund lost twice and so did Schalke); only Leverkusen have the advantage of Bayern and Dortmund at least winning their away games at Arsenal and St. Petersburg.

There is a dark cloud over German football and, so far, nobody has been able to identify it. But something is not right about the major sport in Germany. Uli Hoeness, the president of FC Bayern Munich, will spend time in prison in the next couple of months. The Germany national team, at least in Germany, has seemingly long lost its favourite status at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Traditional clubs like Hamburger SV and VfB Stuttgart are battling to avoid the drop into the second division, while teams like Borussia Moenchengladbach, SC Freiburg, FSV Mainz 05 and SC Freiburg have in recent years shown that they are not able to compete both domestically and in the more modest Europa League.

Bayern Munich are the sole stellar team that can still convince the rest of the world that German football is on the rise. And their dominance of the Bundesliga, this season at least, puts all marketing efforts in danger.

Borussia Dortmund and a revived Schalke will have to turn things around for German football next season.

After all, one Bayern Munich will not be enough, not even for with seven Bayern Munich players representing Die Mannschaft at the World Cup.

They say its a concern, but for the Bundesligas international appeal, dominant teams are great. Its noticeable how much more interest there is in Bundesliga around the world simply because of Bayerns previous 2 seasons.

Of course Bayern are going to be the only German team competing against the oil pimped teams of Europe, what a revelation that is.

Leverkusen vs PSG
Schalke vs Franco

Yeah, that's fair :lol: PSG spent €60mio on a striker to play him out wide ffs Leverkusen signed Robbie Kruse.

 

[Big Sam]

Very average final. BVB ripped off too.

Lahm with a concerning injury for German fans.

 

[BunniesMan]

Wow has anyone seen the new Bayern shirt? Looks like an uglier version of Barca.

 

[Big Sam]

It's not like they haven't done it before...

 

[BunniesMan]

It just seems these days with buzzwords like branding being important some higher up at Bayern would think it was beneath them to go from their traditional red to the colour combo and pattern made famous by another big club.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

They used it in 1994, I believe, I actually like it.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

You idiots that keep speaking on german football with NFI are really annoying

 

[BunniesMan]

The entire world associates red and blue vertical stripes with Barcelona. I would have thought Bayern saw themselves as a big club...

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

I suppose since Atletico's record transfer is higher than ours and they're a little club and this is the bush league then we must be a village club. Not bad for little village FC Bayern to win 4 trophies in one season.
