@Robberysteiger I think you just a little bitter inter beat you in the final and knocked you out at home last season.... So them beating you guys and than losing 5-2 to schalke kinda makes you guys look bad :/
Agreed, he is a fantastic player! It will be interesting to see who signs him in the summer. He wants to leave Dortmund (silly move in my opinion) and play for an English club, apparently both Arsenal and Man United are interested
You brits have really got to get past this hatred toward calling the sport soccer. If we were the best at the sport in the world ya'll would call it soccer too. Hince why baseball, basketball, and really any other sport we are better than ya'll in, which is a lot, came from america
Spain/Southamerica, Germany /Austra, Portugal /Brasil They share the same language but have their local color. Do I have to state the obvious, that the term football would lead to confusion in the us? So.... Correcting everybody seems pretty ignorant to me
Enough wit this soccer-football sh*t.... If you on one country you call it one thing, if you in another you call it another thing.... Its two different words with the same meaning, stop b*tching about it every time you see the word "soccer"
@Kon91 and those who +1'd him: A word to the wise, racism is not acceptable on footytube. This isn't the place to slander people of any nation, so let this be your first and last time doing so.
In the midst of you calling Americans ignorant, you actually managed to be the ignorant one in this case. Football is commonly referred to soccer in Canada, Ireland and South Africa, as well as many other countries. In fact, it's not a noun, it's actually a shortened phrase for the term Association Football. You probably verify this within 30 seconds using your favorite search engine.
Indeed, stop being anal about it. Who are you to determine what anyone else in the world should call anything? Your name is Alex, correct? The only time you should ever be correcting what someone chooses to call something is when someone calls YOU Alexandra. Simply because, that's not your name is it?
No. It isn't. Which makes it wrong.
Does soccer mean what YOU call football? Do millions upon millions of people that aren't YOU use that to refer to the same sport?
Yes. They do. That makes it right.
Next time you call someone ignorant, consider that you may very well be, in fact, the ignorant person.
Thanks!

Oh and btw, I'm putting this up on your wall so you can't miss it ;)
"Imagine people said handball when they talk about basketball. Wouldn't you call them ignorant? I would!"
That's exactly the point imho.
I see the problem about confusing Football with American Football in the US.... But the game footytube is all about was originally called "Football" - so why inventing another name? Americans would laugh at us calling Basketball "Handball", and they would be right! - just like Ramin85 mentioned.
So sad atm oh well, glad I had some good wine and weed with me to endure that
Lets atleast get ribery goal of the week
Our defending was all over the place, dortmund was on top of their game, they got lucky and we made some insane mistakes in defence even neuer hiting the ball on his knee while trying to grab it.... That's how you end up with a 5-2
But can't say Dortmund didn't deserve it they played well and we played like idiots.
If we win next saturday I don't care if we lose the next 3 years! FInALE dahooaammm NUR DER FCB
