Seeing Subotic out there....has a US-born player ever won the Champions League? I know Subotic wasn't born in the US, just wondering. Just some quick thoughts....O'Brien wasn't playing for Ajax when they last won....no Tim Howard for Man U. Maybe someone back in the day?

Jovan Kirovski was on the Dortmund roster when they won in 1997. He appeared in the tournament but not in the final.

That's what I read on Twitter this morning. Beasley is the only semifinalist I think.I didn't even consider him.Is he the only one?

I remember that getting some pub when he was playing for PSV. Looks like you're right per Wikipedia.

What vision from Ribery to find that pass to Robben ahead of the goal.

lol @ Dante trying to argue that's not a foul. He ####### kicked Reus in the stomach

Don't get the hate really, particularly compared to the rest of the FSC crew

Barton has been a MUCH better addition to the booth than Ian Wright...he's made the broadcast tolerable, even with Gus

Robben!

Not sure I agree with that final whistle. Seems a little premature. Like 3 of the 4 minutes of added time were just subs and time-wasting.
Either way, a fantastic game all things considered.

I would rather eat broken glass than watch Arjen Robben celebrate.
And the voting was close, but the Didier Drogba Award for most time spent on the ground in a CL final goes to... Frank Ribery -- as he narrowly edges out Boatang.
The best team won this year and it was a great game though, so at least there's that.

¿¿Robben = Clutch??

Gotta give Robben credit today. He was really determined. Generally he starts with the whining, flopping and general dooshiness at the first sign of adversity, but today he kept battling and left the theatrics to Ribery.

It was brutal. Just brutal.

Obviously disappointed but it was a great match. I don't see how Dante isn't give the 2nd yellow on the PK. But Bayern simply took charge in the 2nd half and broke BVB with regularity. Please Lewandoski, go to England and not Munich.

What a great game- end to end, fantastic skills individually and from both teams tactically, tons of chances, tons of big plays. I'm glad the ref didn't decide the game and I'm glad it wasn't won on a dead-ball which I would've bet money on given the way BM dominates in the air and can deliver the ball so well.
I thought Dortmund played fantastically well, but ultimately BM just had more in the tank fitness-wise and skill-wise. And for all the obvious credit to Munich's attacking players, I thought their backline did a great job shutting Lewinetc down and limiting his chances in front goal- Dante coulda/should've been off, but man he was a beast winning balls back there.
Gus Johnson on the Dortmund keeper coming out on one of Robben's breakaways "HE GAMBLED!!!!!" (so the safe move was to sit on his line and let Robben dribble in on him apparently). But inspite of the hucksian bombast yelling, yeah- Johnson didn't blabber as much as I feared and let Warren Barton have a lot to say, which is a good thing IMO (big fan of Barton as a commentator, can't remember hearing him do color for a game before).

Do you place your anger on Thomas Rongen, or on Subotic? I don't remember the story when it was new, but Subotic's wiki page makes it sound like it's all Rongen's fault for bashing Subotic in public and not selecting him to the '07 U-20 World Cup.Ted Lange as your Bartender said:

Because Neymar's contract expires in 6 months and he could have left for free then. Santos needed to get some cash when they could.Native said:Bigto Barcelona for signing Neymar for only 25M Euros. Does this annoy anyone else? For all the people who cringe at Real, Chelsea, City, PSG and now MOnaco spending crazy money on transfer fees, this seems like the exact oppositte yet equally irratating. Barca is getting such a discount - why exactly? Why are they able to name their price?
