German Football 2018/2019

[TheMoreYouKnow]

I don't see how they review the penalty..but not the dive by Ribery that caused the penalty. But odd things happen in Munich when Bayern are in need of help.

 

[Vipers31]

This one's a good goal.

Dreadful decision. Video ref just as incompetent as last year.

 

[Bon Esprit]

elbow, no goal

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Nice play..

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Hoffenheim kind of just stopped playing after the penalty. Bit weird given they were still within a goal.

 

[Vipers31]

elbow, no goal

Clearly and utterly unintentional, thus not a handball. Not even questionable.

 

[les Habs]

Robbery indeed. The rule should be changed if someone is encroaching in that situation. Why retake it? It should become a goal kick or a free kick.

Martinez showing the Spanish way of getting the ref's attention. Goes down like a sack of potatoes after the touch of a gentle breeze.

What of Muller embellishing? What about Ribery? Is it because they're German and French respectively? Idiot.

doesn't matter, he deflected the shot into the goal with his hand (elbow). No goal.

That's not how the rule works. At all. Not even phrased that way.

No handball without intention. There's a few indicators for intent when the ref can't tell - whether the hand moves towards the ball, whether the player makes the "body surface" bigger, whether there's an advantage, and others. Those are mere helpers. When a guy tries to get it of the way and gets hit, that's not intent, and that's not a handball. The rule is entirely clear on requiring intent.

Robben is still very dangerous, if Bayern don't overuse him, he can a a game changer even against the best teams in Europe.

 

[Power Man]

Lol Ribery

Chill out, marica, it's just a bit of banter.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

This is why other teams won't win the Bundesliga.

They manage to get wins even when they aren't at their best. Same thing with Juventus.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Coman hurt his left ankle again and will be out for a part of the first half of the season. I hope he gets well soon, he really has bad luck.

 

[Cassano]

Coman hurt his left ankle again and will be out for a part of the first half of the season. I hope he gets well soon, he really has bad luck.

Gnabry will suffer a major injury as well in the upcoming games knowing his history with injuries.

 

[ecemleafs]

schalke need a creative attacker and a goal scorer.

 

[ecemleafs]

utterly ridiculous decision to send nastasic off. 2 players trying to kick a ball thats in the air. nastasic wins the ball and studs hit the other guys leg. now the ref just lost his mind and send off a wolfsburg player for nothing.

 

[ecemleafs]

now the ref reviewed his mistake and changed the red back to a yellow.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Hendrik Weydandt! First game as a pro and first goal. The last seasons he played in the Regionalliga. Cool story.

 

[John Pedro]

I'm excited for Leverkusen this season. Plea at BMG also a nice news. Looking forward to their match later today.

 

[John Pedro]

BMG up 2-0 and even missed a penalty. Nice start to the season.

 

[Bon Esprit]

The handling of the VAR by the DFL is like watching the NT at the last WC. Painful. These amateur clowns are destroying the Bundesliga with this crap.
The Hannover goal was the best example. It was a good goal and a linesman should have easily seen it, but those idiots had to review the play. Ridiculous. On the other had they didn't recognize the Ribery fake penalty.

I had shoulder surgery last week and having issues sleeping, so I was up early in time to watch the replay of the second half of this match. It was crazy. A red became a yellow, a yellow became a red, he mistakenly flashed a red when he meant to flash a yellow. I was waiting for him to call something that isn't even a soccer penalty like icing or goaltending.

WAZ reports Rudy to Schalke almost done
Bayern-Profi Rudy steht vor Wechsel zum FC Schalke

Sport1 reports (live on tv) Henrichs (Leverkusen) to Monaco is done

 

[Albatros]

Sad to see, but looks like Badstuber isn't anywhere near good enough for the Bundesliga anymore.
