Thread: Champions League Final

Anyone watching? Been pretty open exciting game so far, a little slow to start but getting in the groove now. Only downside is having to listen to Gus Johnson thanks to Fox

And just reached half-time now.

Agreed, was a great game and someone Robben scored the winner. Shame Pep is take over at Bayern, so they'll be playing "pass the ball between two midfielders 800 times, and maybe we'll score!" (I just hate tiki-taka because it feels like it became rarely the lovely attacking style, and more passing the ball backwards and sideways 99% of the game, being as boring as possible).

Was a good final to watch. Dortmund played one hell of a match for how young of a team they are. They will be back in this position again in the near future. Only thing is that Munich had an off day imo and were still able to pull this one out. Goes to show just how good that team really is. And why the Gus Johnson hate? Hes probably one of the best commentators in the business right now.

That is why Arsenal's sort-of-but-not-really version is better =p. Minus the "If I'm in the penalty area, I should try to set someone up for a better(Perfect) shot instead of just stick a boot through the fucking ball."

Gus Johnson is terrible at soccer (football) announcing. Not really his fault as he got thrown to the wolves by Fox, but its painfully obvious he has a very basic (at best) understanding. It felt like he was mainly reading off a sheet in front of him most of the time for facts, and the rest was <insert player name> <possibly insert verb>. It didn't help that Barton (I think that was his partner last game) would now and then jump in with insightful information/thoughts, making Gus Johnson's lack of knowledge more obvious (to me anyways).

Possible, I think he'll leave Tottenham for sure (though I'm highly bias and thus would love that). Wouldn't it depend on who replaces Mourinho though, and their thoughts on Bale (his fit etc.)?
