So does that mean that we see Sergio running through the bases?

[Rick.]

What a comeback, even though it was a friendly.

They played in St.Lou I heard?

Hope its not true. Could get someone way better for that much, and younger.

Well they've bought Sanogo. I don't know what to think of him really, but I kinda feel like he's even better than Giroud ...

Is everyone else not anticipating the CL final today? Let's hope the best team wins, and lets see who Gotze will celebrate with.

I bloody hope not - don't rate Rooney at all.

Although I'm a neutral and can benefit from just sitting back and enjoying the game (a lovely feeling  ) I do somewhat hope Dortmund will do it. And Gotze won't be playing.

Don't know quite what to make of Neymar, as the few times I've actually watched him play he's played miserably and fell down after even the softest of challenges. When I went to watch him play against Russia at Stamford Bridge it was clear he didn't know how to deal with the physicality of the hard-tackling Russian defenders. I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be the next Robinho, but it would be good to see him develop under a world-class club.

[Rick.]

I can see him being a profit in the La Liga, but not with Barca. They already have a few world class strikers, which would be hard to squeeze through and get a start every game. And even if he does start, their main target for goals is Messi.

Looks like Cavani has signed for Real Madrid and Neymar for Barcelona. Just waiting for it to be announced. Additionally Real Madrid are very close to Isco of Malaga.

[Sawyer]

Borussia Dortmund.

I think Bayern deserved to win after all these finals they lost.

A very interesting match. No one was superior, both of them could have won it but in the end Robben made the lucky goal. If you ask me it should have ended in a tie in the regular time and to be decided after the penalties. Well I am just happy that it was a really fair match between 2 german teams that was worth to be called a final.

Plasma, you read my mind. Thanks.

Not really. I felt like I was watching another Bundesliga match.
