DFB-Pokal 2014/15

So far there is no 100% definite diagnosis for Robert Lewandowski. It just sounds rather painful, no matter what it is exactly. I guess one needs to wait a little longer.

As for Arjen Robben - his injury was not caused by any opposing player - it just happened.

I know Arjen was unlucky/rushed but Dortmund did play a dirty game and a rough one and the ref was part of it. Atleast I blame them for the Lewa injury.

Well, Lewa's injury was an accident. Mitch Langerak looked only at the ball and punched it with one hand, while Lewa tried to head it and so he was hit with Langerak's other hand. If you want to forbid the goalkeeper going into the ball there, you could as well play without a goalie.

sure, the ball is there somewhere as well

If you can't make a double footed tackle where you might get a bit of the ball with one leg while the other mows down the opponent, why should this be in any way acceptable?

because the goalie is given the advantage in those challenges in the area .

Mitch very obviously first punched the ball away. That he hit Robert Lewandowski afterwards was very regrettable, but still an accident. If two players try to head a ball and then crash their heads together, it is pretty much the same - a very unfortunate accident.

Anyway, was a stupid idea to sub off Müller. Our best scorer and first penalty taker too

TBH from open play I was pretty sure Langerak was too late to that ball, but in the replay it rather looks like he hits the ball and Lewa at the same time. Tough call. It's not a foul in that case imho, because you can't really call it a dangerous play when it is what goalies usually do.

Didnt Langerack nearly cause Benatia to get a concussion too

Dortmund won against Bayern Munich + Kampl. Every single ball that touched his foot was a turnover and after yet another turnover he knocks Schweini over deliberately to get his marching order. Fcking scrub

Speaking of which Schweini he had a monstrous game and should have scored the winner after being completely unmarked from a free kick. He shouldve started the game. He looked like the only one wanting to beat Dortmund along with Boateng

Said it before the game: despite not being the most obvious influence, Schweinsteiger is the most important, and biggest, influence at Bayern and Germany; I'll rue the day he retires.

Today's the big final of the DFB-Pokal in Berlin.

Borussia Dortmund vs VfL Wolfsburg

And this is the prize for the winner:
