Robben bounced back after all his latest setbacks.
Give him credit.

Rahat... I really hoped fc corporation will lose this one..

Bummer. Hoping for a Wasps (sorry Dortmund) win. Oh well

Just watched first 10 minutes of Chelsea v Man City at the Yankee stadium and its one of the best starts to a game ever. Fast end to end, tricks everything. Amazing

Was hoping that the bees/wasps would win too..their fans bouncing up and down (especially at their home ground) is an amazing sight.
Robben missed two extremely easy chances but I don't see him being a major player in the Pep era at Bayern. I am wondering now why Guardiola chose this club? What more can he hope to achieve? Perhaps he should have chosen to show his chops at a less successful club.

So Neymar is now a Barca player.. or so says MD
El Barça confirma de madrugada un principio de acuerdo por Neymar

I haven't seen a lot of him but I have some doubts of how he will fit in. I had similar doubts about Cesc and unfortunately they seem to be
coming true.

I agree Storm and many fans around the world feel the same. Football won. What a beautiful sport.

Yep, he should have chosen Real Madrid

So Neymar is now a Barca player..

You have to admit that it will be a scene to behold seeing these two together on the same side. But you are right, time will tell. It is exciting though. Now let' see who Barca acquires to pump up its defense - they have to get a tall strong player to defend against those killer headers.

Well said guys.

New Barca should be built starting from keeper and defense.

Rahat...

You have such a great word in your language to express it and you use an euphemism of turkish origin.....

I wish Falcao would have stayed at Atlético Madrid.
$$$$ talks and many around Falcao also made a killing.

What do you guys think about this M$O$N$A$C$O team?
And what about all that money being poured into other teams like PSG, Chelsea, Manchester City, Malaga and others?

It's a good time to be a valued football player but unfortunately the poorer teams get crushed.

But wait . . . Sounds like modern life in general. The only bad thing about $$$$ is not having any.

[Big Ben]

What I think? I try not to... but I hope they'll fail miserably.
