It really isn't ideal but we need something new to talk about. I think all the best XI's, classic games, worst moments have been done to death these past two months. You can't beat live sport.

kingfox Posted 16 May 2020 Posted 16 May 2020 Watching Freiburg was like watching Newcastle, proper defensive shithousery.

There’s always been an interest in the Bundesliga on this forum and there are loads of posters that have been over to Germany to watch games. Touché. I’m as judgmental as the attitude that rubs me wrong. I can live without atmosphere and be entertained. And I definitely prefer this (Freiburg-Leipzig at least) to no football. I should leave it at that. if any explanation … for some of us the “live” experience is not the PL or Bundesliga. Mine is Cleveland SC in the semi-pro league. The crowds are small so it’s not about “atmosphere”-- just the afternoon out and the action on the pitch. (And with this season cancelled, I won’t be going for another year.)
Nalis Posted 16 May 2020 Posted 16 May 2020 Might be an unpopular opinion but I think crowd noise was actually ok in K League last week, maybe because it was controlled by the home team. Maybe more of the same might help these behind closed doors matches in Bundesliga (and Premier League if/when thats back) feel a little less surreal?
RonnieTodger Posted 16 May 2020 Posted 16 May 2020 Cringing at McManaman pretending to know anything about the Bundesliga for 90 mins. Reminded me of Robbie Savage submitting his Bundesliga all time XI, like he’s ever watched Bayern Munich when they’re not playing an English team. I’m no expert but at least use people who know what they’re talking about.

Agreed it's the same old jobs for the boys I'd much rather listen to someone with a good knowledge of the German game Diddi Hamman still lives here and does media I think. Rob Huth has always spoken well, as has Fuchs (not german but played in the bundesliga for 8 years) and that's just of the top of my head. Instead we get the same old tired faces. Offering even less than they do when commentating on English teams. The commentary is worse than the empty stadiums in my opinion.

Manwell Pablo Posted 16 May 2020 Posted 16 May 2020 Crap start from Frankfurt but had some joy later in the half, left themselves a lot to do now though. Gladbach seem to have taken foot off the gas somewhat.
spacemunky Posted 16 May 2020 Posted 16 May 2020 Frankfurt looking better as the match goes on. Forgot that they had lost Rebic, Jovic and Haller from that very good squad last season.

Gladbach still look fairly comfortable really and that's with them slowing down after their first start.

kingfox Posted 16 May 2020 Posted 16 May 2020 Watching Gladbach is like watching Leicester, especially their front three, sign em up.
boots60 Posted 16 May 2020 Posted 16 May 2020 Loved the Dortmund players saluting their fans after their win today. Very sporting 👍
kingfox Posted 16 May 2020 Posted 16 May 2020 Gladbach are the German Leicester City. Sign em all up, especially Pléa.
