I stand by my theory.

Which theory ?

[Keystone Phil]

It was meant to be. And for a German to miss the decisive penalty kick? Delicious.

Salzburg claim seventh Austrian title

(AFP) Sunday 13 May 2012



Salzburg claimed their seventh Austrian league title on Sunday after winning 5-1 at Wiener Neustadt in their penultimate game of the season.

The emphatic victory took them six points clear of nearest rivals Rapid Vienna, meaning they cannot be overtaken. Defending champions Sturm Graz, meanwhile, are 17 points off the pace in fifth position.

It was a fourth national title for Salzburg since the club were taken over by Dietrich Mateschitz, founder of the energy drink company Red Bull, in 2005.

Salzburg will attempt to complete the Austrian double for the first time in their history when they meet Ried in the Austrian Cup final on 20 May.

Game just ended and Salzburg won 3:0 !

They are now the reigning Austrian League Champion and Cup winner.

Disgusting and disheartening. John Terry should never be given any trophies and Chelsea is an awful club. But Robben and Gomez should also feel bad for being so useless yesterday. They could have won the game like eight times.

[Lief]

Jupp's substitution of Müller was also too cute by half and a huge mistake.

[Keystone Phil]

Biggest game of the weekend coming up!

penalty kicks to complete a major tournament is another thing that pisses me off about soccer.

A Chelsea fan spit on my shirt last night after I complemented his team's performance. I will never understand the football hooliganism of English fans.

[Keystone Phil]

Juventus - invincible no more! NAPOLI - CAMPIONI D'ITALIA!

Yeah, I remember finding that to be a damn stupid move. I hope this doesn't affect the German players badly for the Euros.

That's why Scots like to see them get beat.

Well some Scots but I guess that lot would consider themselves British first and foremost

[Keystone Phil]

Cavani gets the first...




Hamsik gets the second...




...and Juve are denied their tenth title. Forza Napoli!

If the Germans make it to the Euro final and lose that as well then half the squad will have come second place in four competitions in a row. Lahm, Schweinsteiger, etc. might just kill themselves after that.

The G8 people did watch Bayern vs. Chelsea too:

[Governor NVGonzalez]

Santos Laguna has defeated Monterrey to win the Clausura 2012 2-1 (aggr. 3-2) thus redeeming themselves from their loss in the CONCACAF Champions League against the same team and also winning their first final in the last 5 years after losing 3 finals in 6 seasons and 4th title overall.



Also Monterrey showed class after defeat going up to the ceremony and congratulating Santos in their win. Never has this been seen in any final at least in Mexico.

[Vasall des Midas]

I stand by my theory.

Which theory ?

Bayern simply isn't allowed to win this. That's the only explanation for all of this.

Maybe tptb have decided that Chelsea must play CL, and have informed - not the referee, that would be too blatant - but the Bayern players of the fact.

Can anyone that follows the loser league (MLS) let me know what's up with Chris Albright? My family has sat within yards of him on the same section of the beach since I was a kid and everyone talks about him like he's a star (Haha, American Soccer "fans"). I heard he was traded somewhere (maybe the Union) but, despite kicking the ball all over the beach all day, he must be injured since he isn't playing right now. Fill me in, boys.

...and Atlético-MG seems to have signed with Ronaldinho. Surprising, He was seen warming up today at the training center. As if our team wasn't already a joke for the last 12 years...

So, people looking for a dump to throw decadent players, come to BH! Who'll be the next, Ronaldo, Adriano?

Now that Cruzeiro had also become a crap, which made rooting against them pointless, and that our national team uses high heels instead of proper shoes, I think I'll have to fund another sport to watch. Any suggestions?
