Just a heads up.

Bayern vs RB Leipzlig in 10. Should be a good match 1 v 2 in Germany

People shit on us and Leipzig for being too corporate, but here sits Bayern Munich with a bunch of people in the crowd dressed in all white in the shape of the T-Mobile logo.

Forsberg got a red in the 30th. Down 3-0 at HT.

Do you guys actually care? Just seems like more and more fans of our team seem to be watching them lately.

Personally I'm not rooting for or against them, I really just don't have any interest.

No.  Just happen to be working from home while 1-2 in the Bundesliga are playing.  I'd be watching regardless of Leipzig.

I don't care per say, but seeing their success makes me believe we can replicate it here (and we have, just not in the playoffs). Plus the fact that everyone hates them makes me kind of pull for them.

The all blue uniforms are doing them no favors as they are getting beat handily 3-0 in Munich at the 55

Bradley Wright-Phillips "I prefer it at Red Bull Arena, but it was OK. I could imagine it being good for a baseball crowd.

My interest is mostly about a newly promoted side is in 2nd place half way thru the season and challenging the ridiculous dominance of BM. Nice to see a new name in the mix. i'd be interested if they were Dunkin Donut Dresden .

Interesting choice!
Their rival could be the Hertha Berliners!

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

Yeah makes sense, I really don't follow nor care about any of the other leagues. Just find it interesting, especially on Facebook how many people seem to be interested in them now and almost rooting for them.

The "Against (gegen) Modern Football" banner behind the goal is also ironic, for a club as corporate as any other, and which has previously swiped the best player on the second-best team. Are those flags being waved also home-made, or provided by the club?
At the end, a "Piss Off" or "Piss On You" banner also displayed.

I only hope that RBL performs well just to piss off Eurosnob purists. Don't really follow them outside of that. 


RIP Guillermo Romulo, Alexander Francis Orig, Celenio Eleazar, and my Mom, Resurreccion Eleazar.

 

RIP Cesar Castello, Mike Vallo, Glenn Stampiglia, Bob Paquette, and Warren Lee
