THE NAME OF THE GAME ....FOOTBALL!

[Ukrain]

Forward of "Barcelona" Lionel Messi scored twice in the match of 11th round of the Spanish examples against the "Majorca" (3-0 second half).

Thus, Messi scored a 75th and 76th goals in the calendar year 2012 and surpassed the achievement of Pele, who scored 75 goals in 1958, according to Infostrada.

Note that the 85 goals scored in 1972 the ex-Germany striker and "Bavaria" Gerd Muller.

did you stop to watch football?

did you stop to watch football?

not yet, but here in Germany we had a winter break, the Bundesliga began just yesterday.
And in my eyes the thing will be exciting when the Champions League and Euro League continues.

Very sad that my favourite club - Borussia Mönchengladbach - has to play against Lazio Rom.
Even Miro Klose never played for one of my favourite clubs, I highly respect him because he is a fair sportsman and just a nice guy.

what about the new of Guardiola as new Bayern's coach for next year?

this will be really interesting. Because here in Germany Bayern is the team that needs titles. If you don't win anything it will be very hard to keep your job at Bayern - even your name is Guardiola.

That's the difference for example to Dortmund. Jürgen Klopp had the time to develop a team and now has one of the best teams in europe. Just look, the whole Dortmund team cost about 40 mio €, a sum that Bayern spend on Martinez.

i still don't understand how they can spend 40 milo € for that player!!!!!!!
about guardiola, i like how he prefer to let play young players, that's good for bayern and for german national team......let's hope guardiola could bring champions league cup again to munich after so long

me, too! Martinez might be a good player, but paying this sum for him???????
And about Guardiola, that is really a big advantage that he trusts in the youth. You can say about Luis van Gaal whatever you want, but he was the one who brought up players like Thomas Müller, Toni Kroos and Holger Badstuber. Since Heynckes is manager of the Bayern no other young player found its way to the team, instead Bayern began to buy, buy, buy. Wherever there is a good player in the Bundesliga, Bayern wants to buy him, as they always did.

this topic is finally back to life with the end of the season's break...and Hans wb!

the issue of Guardiola will make things more interesting, I am looking forward to seeing him coaching for FC Bayern, but I hope Jepp finishes his job with Bayern with a couple of nice titles

im glad the Bundesliga has kicked off again, and it starts with a nice 2-0 for Bayern
I am also looking forward to the CL..

get ready folks!!

I guess Bayern already has one title for sure. I'm sure they will win the Bundesliga. Jürgen Klopp already said hist target is to become 2nd or 3rd.
But it's a surprise you say this with the titles. I guess on Wednesday had been a press conference where the players said now they want to win as much titles for Jupp Heynckes as possible.

Just a side-note: Originally Mr. Heynckes is from Mönchengladbach

[Leb Yellow Butterfly]

oh good to know! (2 pieces of info: the press conf and Mr. Heynckes being a gladbacher)

well yes, first thing I thought about after hearing the news was Herr Heynckes... a Bundesliga title is definitely in pocket but after many "finals" disappointments for Bayern in the CL in the past few years during Jupp's era, I think he deserves to finally leave Bayern with a CL title.. Bayern staff, players and fans must be thankful for what he did on all levels to come up with such a consistent young team...

btw.. I am so interested in BVB's achievements this CL and am excited about their results, I can't wait for the next ones, and as I have said before the beginning of the season, BVB will go far this year, maybe even further than FC Bayern..well that was my opinion...the young Reus and Goetze will definitely do something! (I know this is inside the circle of your interest, too)

[Hans]

now we have to wait for the knockout stage of the champions league. Here we'll see how good the BVB really is. What they have shown in the Bundesliga so far was quite impressive. And for Bayern: They are experienced, they should reach the quarter final. This are my predictions who will make it to the next stage

Celtic Glasgow - Juventus Turin
FC Valencia - Paris Saint-Germain
Schachtar Donezk - Borussia Dortmund
Real Madrid - Manchester United
FC Arsenal - FC Bayern München
FC Porto - FC Málaga
Galatasaray Istanbul- FC Schalke 04
AC Mailand - FC Barcelona

Even Schalke is not so good in the moment, I think they will make it.

[Leb Yellow Butterfly]

Ohh! I had already posted my predictions on December 22 on some other forum concerning the qualified teams and I just made a comparison with yours and found out we have the exact same predictions!!
