gnah cant sleep
got way to invested into this fucking game
. Final thoughts on the game:
I'm starting to believe that fate just wasnt on our site. Cant really fault any of the penalty takers, after losing out against Dortmund the pressure on them was immense. I think for the shootout is was a giant disadvantage to play at home. Guess Chelsea doing well in the shootout was the direct result of Neuer's heroics against Real. They certainly trained their penalties and after that first save it was like Chelsea's players were saying, "screw this, playing it save wont work in this shootout, let's take high risk / high percentage shots." KUDOS Chelsea.
But I'm done trying not to criticise Bayern. Robben s*cks, i cant stand his playstyle anymore, it's not just the penalties against Dortmund and Chelsea. He's an egomaniac and he doesnt seem to trust any of his teammates. He wasnt bad by any means but i'm just done with the way he plays. I'm saying this fully aware that he will now probably go on to score a decisive penalty / goal against Germany at the Euros.
Bayerns tactics are abysmal and they have absolutely no flexibilty in their gameplay. Still proud of them, it's incredible that they even came this far but it's just sad.. it's really hard to criticise any of the players / coaches because they all gave their best. Tymo, Contento, Lahm, Neuer stepped up big time. Müller, Kroos, Schweini, Gomez, Ribery, Robben, Boateng were at least their usual selves. As a team they just werent good enough.
just a horrible way to lose.
edit: Nice work xintin and congrats!
