You have really no clue at all. Stop behaving like a 5 year old kid and try to make more intelligent comments than that. I doubt that you can.

Very disappointing game by Munchen...

Anyway congrats to Inter fans :)

Inter deserved to win. Bayern didn't have a good day and unfortunately when you play in a final you don't have a second chance. Bayern plays offensive and attractive, Inter defensive and tries to destroy the opponent. Offensive and attractive football can only win when there is at least a one level difference in the quality of the players. Inter has (unfortunately) players of great quality (like Bayern does), so defensive football had to win.

I am a Bayern fan but the philosophy of offensive football that van Gaal has brought, isn't my thing. I prefer Inter's playing style, even if it isn't attractive. It is effective and simple. Football should be a simple game after all.

I am sure that Bayern will dominate Europe the next two to three years. Ribery & Robben are great players and if we get a good defender and improve our game a bit further, then we will win the Champions League again (despite being too offensive in our game).

outstanding second goal (Y)

Van Buyten had to defend better. Defense was Bayerns problem yesterday...

We can now close this thread right?

Everyone is voting now that the winners "will be" Internazionale and the top scorer "will be" Lionel Messi. :laugh:

I wanted to vote earlier but I forgot.. :shiftyninja:

Actually, who cares about the poll. Don't have to close the whole thread because of it, maybe people would like to discuss the final, it was only yesterday :whistle:

I can only speak from a handful of CL matches, but how attacking is this philosophy? For instance, the wing backs hardly, if ever really, made any runs. Robben was dealt with rather too easily by Chivu / Zanetti / Pandev, and if Lahm had made some runs, then the space would've opened up. Same with Altintop on the other side, who had a great game against Maicon. Through the middle, Sweinsteiger - what has happened? I remembered him as this brilliant footballer with great vision, passing and the ability to get around players. Van Bommel too, he only did 1 of 2 things this game - commit fouls and pass the ball sideways.

I said while watching, that the substitution of Altintop was really a terrible mistake. If Van Gaal really thought Muller would make a difference on the left (and how could he, his only contribution to the game was to shoot directly at Cesar's legs), then he perhaps should've taken of the Left Back, because Altintop was the only Bayern player that caused any trouble to the Inter defence.

Should also note the blatant handball by Maicon. Don't see how every official missed that.

Great play from Milito thought - I read an article this morning that mentioned Maradonna has originally forgot to place him in his provisional squad and had to be reminded by one of his assistants.

Ps. I think Bayern will dominate within 2 seasons, especially with Kroos' development this season and Riberry staying on.

I dont know if anyone saw but the sampdoria vs werder bremen game. I got to watch fro the 80th minute onwards, and i have to to say the italians are such cheap players...worst sportsmanship ever. If anyone gets a chance to watch the game watch the end.

At 85mins they score making it 3-0 and 4-3 on aggregate. They realise they have to waste time. They dived a good 4 times. I say dived because one of them, i think massino, fell to the gorund clutching his leg as if he had been shot, when he got fouled on the body. Now he got stretchered off.

1 1/2 mins later he was back on. There were a couple of other dives. They also did other things like kick the ball away on fouls, waste time. As a result there was 5 mins of injury time.

Guess what in the 93rd minute werder bremen score. I literally jumped out of my seat and shouted at the screen.

So now there is extra time and Bremen score. ****ING JUSTICE. ....:D

      Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.

      Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
