Bastian Schweinsteiger

Metaphysical

Bomb Dropper
Schweiny didn't choke in the actual game.

he choked in the shootout.

Gomez didn't choke in the shootout.

he choked in the actual game.

neither was as bad as Robben, though.

Schweiny had so much to do in Gustavo's absence, Gustavo gives him so much freedom to boss the game. that what he missed in Kroos, basically both are so much alike in terms of role on the pitch. that's why he looked like he choked when he actually did so well.
 
He did miss the PK, but football is a team game, win and lose as a team. Munich had so many chances, but they did not convert on almost all of those chances and that adds up in the end.

he's German as well.

no excuses.


:lol:

I knew you'd be in with this picture. Totally man, he just gets overwhelmed. He had fuck all to do, where are his extraordinary shots? No where to be seen because he had no balls to take any. Sure, he had come off injury but ffs, take a proper shot. Plus he is no Neymar, that step and shoot was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo telling of a miss. And that is, if you had any hope of him making it. He just looked frightened.

People are bumping Bastian and Gomez' threads accusing them of choking, but actually they both did rather well. Gomez missed a couple of good chances but thats the sort of player he is, he did brilliantly to create that 2nd chance for himself but should have finished better but IMO the one man who failed Bayern last night (as he has on countless occasions, and his mediocracy almost cost Bayern against Real) was Robben. I'm not criticising him for missing that pen, but he sucked the whole night, he's selfish and greedy, he took like 10 shots on goal (all were piss poor) when he had team mates all around him, and his passing was mediocre all night, his runs were largely superficial and I don't recall him getting past any Chelsea defender all night long. The astonishing thing is that he continued being a greedy dickhead even after his penalty miss. I just hate Robben, I hate his character and I hate how he is talent less pile of crap (at least in the past 3 seasons) and always chokes on the big stage (to be honest he hasn't even been performing on the small stage for years now). Get rid of the asshole Bayern. H'es more self centred than Messi and Ronaldo yet he's 1/10th of either player in terms of ability.

Gomez had a "first touch of a rapist", as a wise man once said, and Bastian bored the shit out of me and didn't threaten Cech enough. He is bit a like Zidane in that he does not hurt teams enough, but he is no where near the aforementioned, best player in history.

Well said.
People accusing players of choking just because they miss a penalty or two is laughable. Bayern were better than Chelsea (well, everyone in KO stages was) but that's football. There'll always be fluke/lucky winners.

Don't agree with King. Germans will have high morale regardless of this final. If there's one thing Elf is known for, it's team spirit.

Sorry but no. 3 knock out rounds and a final is never a fluke. One game maybe a fluke....even two at a stretch but 7? Nah......

Also unquestionably Gomez bottled the game it is such occasions, a final, which separate the good from the great, and Gomez failed when it mattered.

Germany are Germany - machines. They will be the team to beat at the euros and the likes of Ozil, Gotze etc will brighten up the bayern players.

Yeah it is. People win lotteries too.
Gotze won't even be in first 11, I don't know why you mention him, of all people.

Squad players are just as important as first 11 players in such tournaments.

Lousy analogy about people winning lotteries too. To win the CL, after the group stage, there are 7 hurdles to pass through. If any team does so, then it isn't luck.

Finally won a major tournament. I'm seriously happy for this guy. Awesome season and he really deserved this. One of my favorite mid fielders. It's about time him and Lahm were able to enjoy victory lol.

Me too, the only thing good about BVB's bitter defeat yesterday was that finally Bastian and Philipp got to lift the CL trophy.
