Rofl. I went to a classico at the Nou Camp, and there couldn't have been more than a couple of hundred Real fans there.

One of the most entertaining games of football I’ve seen in a long time took place yesterday on the last day of 2.Bundesliga.

Dynamo Dresden at home to Ariminia Bielefeld – going into the game Dresden were 3rd from bottom and in the relegation play-off zone ahead of Bielefeld on goal difference only, so a draw would put them in the play-off – Bielefeld needed to win to move ahead of them.

After 35 mins at 0-0, Bielefeld go down to 10 men only to take the lead 5 mins later. It was the second half where it really kicked off though. On the hour, Dresden also reduced to 10 men and within 2 mins Bielefeld score again to go 2-0 up – they nearly score a 3rd whilst a couple of fireworks are thrown on the pitch by angry Dresden fans. The ref takes the teams off for 15mins to see if the atmosphere calms down.

Once the game re-starts, it’s all Dresden – they pull one back almost immediately and then hit the bar. Then with 15 mins to go they get the equaliser that will be enough to put them to the play-off and then nearly nick a 3rd – from which Bielefeld break and score a 3rd themselves with 12mins to go. Queue a last 10 mins of gung-ho attacking by Dresden and Bielefeld often breaking 2 or 3 on 1 but missing each time – Dresden miss a couple of chances to equalise and the game ends 3-2 to Bielefeld. Dresden relegated to the 3rd Division whilst Bielefeld should save themselves by beating Darmstadt in the play-offs

Looks like you were right about Bielefeld saving themselves. They won the first leg 1-3 away from home.

Fürth in with a very good chance of relegating Hamburg for the first time though. 0-0 in Hamburg. Second leg tomorrow afternoon. Serious drinking if they win ..

Indeed, shocking defending though. Pinto is proper jokes

[USA_Loyal_Royal]

really hoping atletico manage to win the league! id love to see someone other than real and barcelona.

[Pepe the Horseman]

This is a very good game now!

[USA_Loyal_Royal]

i wish i was watching that game instead of the fa cup match. although this did get interesting now that it is 2-2.

[sandman]

How was Neymar not booked there?

[Pepe the Horseman]

I'm convinced Barca will get a pen.

[USA_Loyal_Royal]

I'm convinced Barca will get a pen.

it wouldnt surprise me...it will be a bullshit dive penalty too...typical of barcelona getting calls to go their way (same with real madrid though to be fair).

[sandman]

Well done Atleti, well deserved.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Brilliant!! Nice gracious response from the Barca fans. Fair play, now for the Champ league.

[USA_Loyal_Royal]

fantastic! i wonder how long it has been since either barcelona or real have won the league? this must be the first time in multiple years.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Think one of them won it last year.

[USA_Loyal_Royal]

Think one of them won it last year.

oh shit my bad i meant, a team other than barcelona or real madrid have won the league.
