I just came here to laugh.


I hate that I care about this club, man.

If every inhabitant of the town whose club you lost to came to London, they would fill up around 17% of your stadium.

This incarnation of the club was also founded 9 years ago, 4 years after Spurs won their last trophy.

So there's that.

Common practice in Slovenia, club goes bankrupt, new club pops up with the same structure, same people, different name. They went from Football Club to Football Society and now to Football School. :lol:

Incredible performance so far from a mediocre Bundesliga team. But as usual they fight like hell in EL.

3-0 up at Camp Nou, should have been 4-0. We absolutely control the game, we control the stadium. White jerseys everywhere.
This is one hell of a humiliation.

It´s insane. They officially gave away 5000 Tickets to the away team and we showed up with ~25000. Real barca fans are mad at socios for selling their tickets to Eintracht fans for a profit. Kinda funny though. They obviously don´t care about this competition in this post-Messi era and then an insane fan-scene comes along and takes advantage of it.
West Ham is probably not going to allow that again. :lol:

Anyway, **** great evening. Even with the wild and stupid ending. Certainly one of the most memorable games in the clubs history.

For political reasons they very much cared. They've transferred 2/3 of their current team since Messi left, making PSG and Man U look like conservative actor in the transfer market. Tebas/La liga probably also very purposefully avoided going after them for the probable financial doping involved with the City sales to Barca, Aguero undervetting, breaking contract with Depay after the player arrived to negotiate down wages, etc etc etc.

I love this so much. This continental campaign has given so much more than I imagined.

Nkunku is on a sick run lately. Shame he plays for a plastic club like Leipzig.

Don't understand the reffing here; That was a penalty in the first attack and the fouls that are not being called are ridiculous. Having said that if Barnes and Vardy actually start playing in the second half I believe we can win this still. Foxes don't quit. European final beckons. Come on Leicester.

That was incredible. We really made it. We are having trouble finding a way to the goal against every mediocre Bundesliga side but we made it to the finale. It´s hard to comprehend whats going on here with us on the european stage. Knauff changed things for us for sure since we were looking for a decent right winger for a long time. And Glasner has done a fantastic job preparing the team against these better teams (on paper).
We are on a roll in this competition. We were not the better team against West Ham, but everything just went our way from the start with that super early goal in London. Now the early red card for Cresswell. We were looking nervous up to that point and they had a good start to the game. It would have been a difficult game for us for sure. But against a decimated West Ham it was just a long and crazy Eintracht party.

Now against the Rangers in our first european final since 1980. I don´t know how strong they really are outside of Ibrox but it´s better than Leipzig i guess. On many levels.

Looking at that weather in Seville i´m really glad i´m watching this at home on my couch with a cold one. It´s may ffs. I hope the city is prepared for this **** with those 100000+ fools. Beer is probably worth more than gold down there.

Phenomenal set of penalties by Frankfurt. Congrats to ZoLo and our German friends.

Heartbreak for Rangers, they could have won it in the final minutes of ET if not for a great Trapp save.
