Solid 2nd half effort today, but the better (at least healthier) team advanced

Now bring on the Paulaner "das boots" and bitches in dirndls...

Bayern is a mess. Doesn't even resemble a German team today. Wish Jupp was still the coach.

Me too podnuh...Jupp was tremendous, but what we got is what we got...

With Pep or not...Bayern is about to break the bank on a spending spree.

There will be haters...

Spending spree on what?

They've already spent an enormous sum collecting some of the best talent in the world. I suppose Dante is done. Maybe Gotze. He never should have left Dortmund. They've thrown money at it and have come up short.

Other key pieces are aging. Basti, Lahm, Ribéry. I suppose Pep can get on with trying to turn the premier German club into tiki-taka version 2.
Die Geschäftsfüher ist schlecht.

They should be in the mix for just about whoever they want.

Agreed, Gotze was a bad deal to this point. Benatia has been solid, though has battled injuries. Lewa has scored plenty of goals up top, and the move itself cost the club nothing.

Dante will be gone, along with Reina...not sure what they'll do with Weiser, but his play toward the end of the season may earn him a new deal. I'm sure with all these injuries occurring more often, they're going to be looking to get younger quickly.

Ribs is on his last leg, Lahm & Basti are beginning to look slower...Robben had a great year, but he's still over 30. They're going to need to start thinking further down the line.

DeBruyne is on the list, though City may be the frontrunners at this point. Gundogan and Xhaka have already been contacted. These guys are likely only the beginning.

Yeah, if I had my choice I'd prefer they had not poached their roster. Gotze hasn't worked out great, and I'm still a Mandzukic guy over Lewa...but he's who we have now.

I've been disappointed in Bayern's raiding practices. It's not good for the Bundesliga. Bayern of course says it's good for the league because it forces everyone else to improve, but some teams obviously can't compete financially.

Been a huge follower of German football for many, many years. I saw Beckenbauer play for the Cosmos. He was always my favorite player, and I tried (and miserably failed) to model my game after his.

I actually pulled for Dortmund this year, because I felt they best represented the Bundesliga I grew up watching. I don't recognize Bayern anymore. Schweini is still my favorite active player, though, and I always pull for die Mannschaft.

Getting errybody back but Franck...not looking good for the long-term for him.

I imagine Bundesliga on Fox will be Bayern or showcase game on FS1, next big game on FS2 and the rest on Fox Soccer 2 Go

ETA: Obviously will be 6am/11:30am games as well on FS1 I would think
