The General Football Thread

Graeme Souness can give him some tips on that...

 

So apparently Borussia Dortmund signed a sponsorship deal with an arms manufacturer. As for as dodgy sponsors go, that's gotta be up there. Makes the betting companies look positively moral

 

Fokkers !

 

And they’re set to go into tonight’s CL final all guns blazing.




Meanwhile Real Madrid have signed a sponsorship deal with a local bakery service.

And they’re set to go into tonight’s CL final all buns glazing.

 

Very odd. A salient barometer of the effects of the war in Ukraine and the German population's shifting attitude to military defence; manifesting in a footie jersey sponsor! Especially interesting when how - comparatively - connected to the fans German football is and BvB having that reputation of being a bit of hipster team to support.

 

Holy ****!

 

Their fans are brilliant. Come on Dortmund!

In other news, I see that Elyounoussi scored an amazing goal yesterday:

Germans are very good at organising things!

 

What was this ?

 

Crap it's been deleted. An entire army of Dortmund fans walking down a street.

 

It was a really good clip!

 

Have amended my post.

 

It got taken down as it was actually before the PSG game. Not in London at all.

 

Oh well we can pretend it's London!

 

Stoke could cold windy he wet it do on night in a?

 

This CL final is so end to end.

 

Wow, that was a clear dive by Vinicius Jr who has already been booked. Should be off.

 

What's the point in VAR when it doesn't look at stuff like that?

 

Madrid goal feels very anticlimactic
