Liga Porkal - Bayern/Schalke04

The jokes about footballers being kinda gay are wearing out, and I still don't have enough time or energy to properly watch the matches (downloading Bayern/Schalke04 now). So here is one of the more interesting moments in the Bundesliga, from Stuttgart/Bayern.

VB is a man of personality. He... Injects life into the BL. Of course, he also gets banninated for three matches, but still, it doesn't make him any less awesome. (Oh dramarz!)




On another note, I am still a huge fan of Neuer-tan. Any match that has Neuer in it automatically tilts me over to his side, because I can't stand to watch his face when the goal goes in.

In the game against Bayern, he really should have been much more aggressive against Klose, but upon careful consideration, it seems like it really isn't part of his personality. He just doesn't want to risk hurting anybody, it seems -- even though it meant leaving a gap, he tried to avoid the Klose collision at all costs. The more I watch the BL, the more reasons I find to like Neuer.

Also, Kuranyi is still in the match. Nonetheless they couldn't break through the Bayern's iron defense. It's frustrating to watch, especially since I couldn't decide whether to root for Bayern or for Schalke.

Oliver Kahn did well in the match, I might add. He shouldn't be getting so much flak for his age, his performance has demonstrated that he was well in place for that match, especially due to his experience. Sometimes you really get the feeling that the younguns are really kind of green, even Neuer, or Rensing... There are places where veterans won't be freezing, sometimes they will make a mistake in judgement, but not as often, and not because of inexperience.

Come to think of it, Olli would probably be yelling at Klose if he was the one being challenged. Not like it would intimidate Klose, but at least it's fun to watch when the goal goes in and he gets even more pissed off. (What am I saying? Gah.)


[edit] Also, I love CCTV5's commentators so much. This guy is saying that Chinese Men's basketball team has - "lost, lost and lost", and therefore "this is a problem to ponder over". They will also say things like, "The Iraq team has, without regards for their stamina, persisted in playing a high-speed attacking stance..." in the DOHA Asian cup. This is not something one sees in English commenting, it seems like English commenting is designed to make you watch the pre-match speculation (which in the end won't really tell us anything), whereas Chinese commentating always puts things in perspective and discusses the more cerebral parts.

This is also my favourite commentator. Too bad CCTV5 isn't playing Bundesliga anymore. ._.
