**Official Other Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

is the Malaga game any good, this one is a bit predictable, i'm only watching it because of my man crush on Ronaldo

I love watching Dortmund. No fudging about, just bam bam bam attack attack attack. They do however waste their chances, which is annoying as I bet over 2,5 goals.

Oh good lord, just seen the penalty claim for Gala... Khedira pretty much held it in his arms for a few seconds. Very poor from the 5th official

Now there's a non-shocker. Those goal refs are the best argument yet for implementing video refereeing.

Varane looks like a top quality centre back..

 

[markysimmo]

Anybody else just see that UEFA respect advert at HT hahahaha WALOB

Very good. Only heard about him prior to this game but looks assured. French I assume?

Yeah he's French and still very young. Only like 19/20 I think.

 

[Baleforce]

think the sky boys are being a bit harsh on eboue, i'd like to see them try to keep up with ronaldo

 

[Papercut]

The movement of Benzema's foot looks even worse in the replay...

Glad they picked up on my Sneider critisicm, doesn't work.

 

[Jordinho]

That was Crouch-esque by Lewandowski.

Incredible how it's still 0-0

 

[Mumorn]

Varane is going to end up being one of the greatest centre halves of all time

Gundogan is such a talent

 

[Rorschach]

How are Malaga financially? I know they have a benefactor but has he stopped investing in the club?

 

[Baleforce]

gotta fancy Drog from there

edit: typical, thats the 6000th free kick i've seen him take from there, the other 5999 were all against us and they all resulted in a goal

I know they are banned from next season's European competitions.

 

[Jordinho]

Bayern and Real almost there and advantage Barca and Dortmund.

Going to be 4 cracking legs whoever gets drawn against each other if they all progress. Wouldnt mind seeing one all-German and one all-Spanish tie

 

[Jurgen the German]

The 4 best teams in Europe are Barca, Bayern, Real and Dortmund. But after watching German teams bottle it spectacularly in the last 15 years, it wouldn't shock me if both German sides went out.

 

[Mumorn]

I wanted Juve in there ahead of Bayern. But I think it'll be too much to overcome.

 

[Jurgen the German]

Do Galatasaray travel everywhere with such good support? I noticed loads of them in the lower tier at the Bernabeu. Also saw quite a few dotted around in various parts of the Veltins Arena when they played Schalke.
