    Argentinians see football as their life and unfortunately it often ends in viiolence.
    There are actually no away fans allowed for the game, but it's pretty safe to say the black market is flourishing and we'll see madness outside and inside the stadium.

    It looks like the madness outside already started, riot police is ready.

    No matter what the score would be and who will lift the trophy the real hero of tonight would be the police.

    Good luck with containing what would come after the game.

    I like both clubs, I despise Carlitos Tevez but that is for another time.

    I want boca to win for my friend.

    I understand you about Tevez i won't say that i despise him(it's to strong of a word for me) but i get you.

    I feel like everyone here can fill pages on players he likes or despises.

    I wanted to like your post but i couldn't(it just felt wrong).

    all i can say is(my german isn't good enough so dutch would be good enough)
    "Succes meet je niet aan hoe hoog iemand klimt, maar hoe hoog iemand stuitert als hij de bodem raakt".

    "I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom".

    All i can say is that i hope to see you getting better.

    Game will be interesting as f, him saying he wants to do something before being fired indicates a middlefinger starting XI full of youngsters and with all complaining vets benched. Kinda like what lead to the Ancelotti sacking, but in case the youngsters deliver and impress more than the old guys it would be a huge statement and lead to Hoeneß and Rummenigge backing him.

    From reading your comments i get a feeling that he has nothing to lose so why not?.

    I wanna see Bayren youngsters getting their opportunity and showing off on the biggest stage.

    It's pretty clear he'll be sacked if they lose this Benfica game or one of the next league games, so yea he's probably in "screw you, I'm doing this my way and don't care about consequences" mode.
    One of the aspects I always loved about Kovac as a player and as a coach, he doesn't back down and has a lot of pride. True fighter.

    Update: Match will be played December 8th or 9th, AND in an entirely different country. Crazy stuff, guess they know it would be a war all throughout Argentina otherwise.

    Well there would still might be war, public viewing party/ results of the game would surely lead to mayhem.

    It's just saddening me that a classic game like this won't be played in its classical and historic venue.

    There were some rumors about Abu Dhabi but i'm not sure about it.

    • FC Bayern: Neuer - Rafinha, Boateng, Süle, Alaba - Kimmich, Goretzka - Robben, Müller, Ribery - Lewandowski
    No surprises after all, maybe Uli intervened or there's some special approach to the game we can't see until kick-off.

    I liked Niko as a player but he can't go around projecting the Croat underdog mentality onto a posh German team.

    He knows the German mentality as well as anyone, having been raised there.

    He coached in Salzburg, in Germany and the Croatian national team.

    I wish him all the best for his career, not everyone can coach Bayern to success, it is extremely complicated.
