What is the bullshit high and mighty/moral superiority attitude in the continental European football media ?

My comments are coming after reading the frankly ridiculous pieces criticizing Lewandowski after he decided to a rabona kick to assist Muller's goal.

Somehow the journos have decided that it was immoral and unsporting of him to do that as Bayern were already comfortably winning that match and belittling the Schalke team.

I have seen several similar pieces from Italy after Atalanta were destroying teams by 6-7 goals last season. The tone was that Gasperini was reveling the opponents misery and should have taken the foot off the gas after 3-0 or so.

Maybe someone like Jones can enlighten me.

Any particular website or piece of news you have in mind? Haven't seen anything to the tune of what you're saying.

German media was as usual full of praise for Bayern, the more "critical" articles were about how it's getting stale how good Bayern are. Müller the ugly rat fuck gave an interview talking about how normally he doesn't talk about the opposition (he always does especially when he loses) but he was really surprised how easy it was to get past Schalke. I swear to God Germans are the most graceless people on earth.

Cheers. Honestly that's the first I heard about it and a quick search of the Internet yields no other results with similar articles so I'd say it's a fringe opinion.

You might know that I really don't need a whole lot of reason to tear into Bayern or their players but in this case that claim reads like a load of bollocks. It might have been a bit showboaty but it was a perfectly fine piece of skill and definitely not over the top. Over the top is dickheads like Firmino scoring a no look goal when the ball is inches from the goal line or the US women's team who celebrated their 11th goal like it was their first, not a situation like this

Speaking of German teams and fitness (after the whole Bayern-Goretzka thing), seems BVB is getting some help too!

Big game in Bundesliga this weekend is Lverkusen vs Leipzig.

Its currently 1-1 with 20ish minutes gone and a very open and entertaining matchup so far.

Forsberg scored for Leipzig while Demirbay equalized for Leverkusen.

Schalke have sacked David Wagner after yesterday 3-1 loss against Bremen.

They were on an awful run under him since January (winless in 19 or 20 games) and it was only a matter of when he would get sacked.

Bayern are being brought down to earth today against Hoffenheim. They are 3-1 down with 10 mins left.

Interestingly, Hoffenheim are managed by Sebastian Hoeness (son of Dieter and nephew of Uli, both Bayern legends).

Quick edit - 4-1 now as Kramaric converted from the spot in injury time.

Haaland is very good. We may have a challenger to Lewandowski for the golden boot here.

Gio Reyna has also been good tonight. Has assisted all the goals as Dortmund are leading Freiburg by 3-0.

Very entertaining game between Bayern and Hertha Berlin today. Finished 4-3 to Bayern today.

Lewandowski bailed them out with a four goal performance.

Bayern defense was very shaky again today very similar to last week's loss at Hoffenheim.

Come on jones. What was that?

The kid who scored the fifth barely has a pube hair.

Claudius

Lol. Another English kid who’s run off to make his mark in the Bundesliga. Nicked from Chelsea.

Bayern have confirmed that they will not offer Alaba a new contract with the salary that he has demanded. (He wants 20 million € per year after taxes).

Wonder which of the cash rich English clubs will sign him for free in January then.

Alssane Plea with an absolute stormer of a half. 3-0 to Gladbach already away to Shakhtar.

Marco Rose still doing very well.

mentalvortex

Jota gives Liverpool the early lead in Bergamo. He is on a run in last few games.

Clrnc

Atalanta has no answers at all to Liverpool's attack. So one sided. Didn't expect this

Seriously? Atalanta are kind of fun, but they're a crap team. The love they get is typical hipster nonsense.

mentalvortex

Entertaining game so far between Dortmund and Bayern.

Reus had given Dortmund the lead but Alaba equalized just before the HT with a free kick.

mentalvortex

And Lewandowski inevitably has scored at the beginning of the second half. 1-2.

Clrnc

Dortmund missed too many chances. Should be easily leading this
