Seems the scary evil robot broke their hips. It was like the 7-1 in the World Cup: a few minutes of terror and it's done. Bayern was a shadow of their true level, it's almost like Pep planned to lose. Maybe unconsciously, you don't simply make a plan to defeat the club that was your second home for 20 years.

It's difficult but I want Juve to win. Because the overhype for Barcelona is ridiculous and annoying. Yeah, they're at a fantastic level, but everyone is like OOOOOH. MESSI DID A NUTMEG. SEEMS LIKE NOBODY EVER HAS MADE A NUTMEG, EVER.
 
You just realized none of the teams currently left in the NBA playoffs have won a title since the nineties. They finally figured out what parity means, guys!

To be fair I made that post like 15th of April.

Anyway NBA is NBA, Bulls are a mess and Clippers need to take Crawford's licence to shoot away.

I don't think that this will be an easy season for them, Mönchengladbach and Wolfsburg are strong enough to become the german champion too.

That's what I thought a few days ago but now they have Vidal. I don't know exactly if Douglas Costa is that good, he just played for Shaktar but Vidal played well in a club which reached the champions league final. Bayern missed the triple the last two years and this year they are serious.
 
Wolfsburg will push.

Bayern has lost Schweinsteiger to Man U, Reina to Napoli, Weiser to Hertha. Wolfsburg held on to de Bruyne and got Kruse from Gladbach which will really be an issue for them because Max Kruse is a beast. Drmic is a solid pick. I like the move that Stuttgart to get Langerak who is the 2nd best Australian goalkeeper and did a decent job behind Weidenfeller.

I might try to catch a few Wolfsburg games this season actually.
 
Yeah, but Bayern has got two new good players and only lost one, Reina and Weiser haven't played that much. By the way, I have found a german forecast of the coming season
Prognose Abschlußtabelle der 1. Bundesliga Saison 2015/16
It's made with a computer programm, but in my opinion it's not really realistic. Mönchengladbach will not have 20 points more than Bayern (I would like it but it will not happen), Ingolstadt will not qualify for the Europa League and I don't think that my favourite club Werder Bremen will have to play the Relegation Play-offs, they will finish in the top half.
 
Ahh we all know that Bayern will win & Wolfsburg will be 2nd. It is so going to happen but I hope Wolfsburg gets the title like Stuttgart did in 06/07.
 
But you don't have to be better than Bayern to become the champion, you just have to be better than every other team. If you win every game except the two games against Bayern you have 96 points, Bayern never had 96 points. The problem (problem because it's getting boring) is not that Bayern is too good, the other teams just don't win so many games. 2013-14, Bayern had 10 points more than Bayer Leverkusen after 17 games. If Leverkusen had won against Bremen, Frankfurt and Braunschweig (three teams which haven't been that good, Bremen reached the 12th place, Frankfurt the 13th place and Braunschweig the last place), Bayern would just had one point more than Leverkusen after 17 games. I hope that Wolfsburg or Mönchengladbach can win most of their games to become champions.
 
We will see, we will see.

For now we just wait. For me watching Ashes during the day is awesome!

lol England. 1-1.

I think the english clubs have too much money, I've heard that ManU want to buy Bale for 135 million euros / 94 million pounds. I remember when Martinez came to Bayern, everybody said that 40 million euros/ 28 million pounds is too much for a defensive player. English clubs are getting so much money because of the TV, even the worst teams of the Premier Leage are getting more (I think about 50% more, but I'm not sure) than Bayern Munich, thats crazy.

Looking at those prelim draws...

The USA got a very kind draw (not that it matters, it would take an unprecedented catastrophe for them to not advance. That or a FIFA screwjob as revenge for the indictments). England also got an extremely kind draw (which they probably needed more than the US, they need time to gel and figure things out)
