Bayern are going to be ridiculous next year with Goetze and Lewandowski in that team

Loves his Lilt does Mourinho, just can't get enough of that totally tropical taste

Dortmund very good but it should've been 3-1, Reus with a blatant handball for the penalty that was given.

Suppose the Krauts should be in the final as their money built the stadium it's being played in.

I admire and envy German football at the moment.

Very cheap, great atmospheres and great football.

plus you can stand and drink beer too

And next season you can watch Bayern after they've bought all Dortmund's best players win the league by even more points. I get why people enjoy it for the peripheral things it brings but it's about to take a nose dive in football quality.

You don't even have to get out of your seat, they walk around the stand selling beers, chocolate and schnitzel, everything that is needed at a football game.

It's not as cheap as people think. Only terracing is cheap. Seats are 15.30 euros at Dortmund, but seats are 29-50 euros.

Maybe they'll become the best team in Europe........

Similar to Reading tickets then?

[Winchester Royal]

Dormund's ticketing policy is, I understand, to keep the terraces cheap and let the seats subsidise them.

Never know what is going to happen really. Too many cooks and all that......

I love it for the fact that supporters aren't an afterthought.

It isn't always no, but it definitely is greener in Germany. Germany tends to shit on this country in pretty much every way tbf. Lovely people too on the whole.

I don't doubt it, but I have a friend whose dad is a pretty famous German manager (look at me) and his fascination with English football/atmospheres is roughly equal to ours with Germany. Dortmund and Bayern are fantastic football clubs with great stadiums and loud fans, and on the big European nights they look thoroughly enviable..but then again so does Anfield. English football is good in a lot of ways, hence its popularity domestically and globally, but because we see the bad sides we view it with a certain amount of negativity. We don't see the dark side of German football.

it doesn't though does it. It's just your perception, you appear to have a bit of an inferiority complex.
