suárez es un fuckin estúpido. alright if he wants to be a hilariously sociopathic little bastard, he can be competitive and stretch the limits of what's legal, but there's a limit to everything. fucking dolt will end his days playing in some 3rd division team in brazil or something. fucking idiot. so much talent is gonna sit on his ass for 10 dates. fucking. idiot.
hey little girl, watch your daddy say goodbye to his career...

re: the bayern dominance, etc. it's not that simple, and the petrodollar patrons ruin things because in order to make money (they always do) they fuck the fans. what makes the difference in available money is not the petrodollar itself-- it's the difference in ticket prices, tv broadcasting rights, merchandise deals etc. so if the bundesliga charged 4 times more maybe they could out-shop the other teams, but the clubs are fan-centered. bayern however has the support of 130,000 members (it only costs 60 euros per year to be a member for people over 25:

for tv income, the broadcast rights for the bundesliga are lower and they make less money. they are negotiated collectively by the bundesliga as a whole.dortmund can't go and sell their matches to espn, for example. so all the bundesliga needs to look good for all of them to profit globally. right now i can watch the prem in "fox soccer to go" ($20/month website), espn/foxsoccer on cable (sports packages vary). the bundesliga? the only fucking major carrier to have it right now is directv (a satellite provider) and time-warner in new york. basically: the bundesliga on tv is small fry. the spaniards and brits make more from their tv rights.
i wanna be able to watch bayern and dortmund and leverkusen on every fucking cable provider. barring that, i wanna be able to pay a subscription so i can watch the broadcast in english without having to resort to shitty-ass streams in languages i do not comprehend. which is what i'm stuck with right now (horrible). the CL matches thankfully are on fuck sucker 2 go so they look good (and i was able to watch from a coffeeshop today).
so here's to an all-german CL final (fingers crossed). and better TV deals and more broadcast and merch income.

AS for Dortmund's survival--- they were going to be picked off eventually but at least i'm glad the players are staying in germany and not going to the sheik of manchester or some other outfit. i hope they don't let go of hummels-- maybe having sold gotze and lewandowski they'll have the money to retain him. and they probably have a bunch of other 20 year olds coming out of the football academies to replace little gotze. or maybe they'll buy gomez! cuz lewandowski, gomez and mandzukic on the same spot is too much. or maybe they'll steal huntelaar from schalke. who knows?
as for the future of bayern, i gotta say, i fear guardiola. yes he is great and all but i think bayern has moved a step beyond tikitaka and i don't want them to go back. at this point i wish heynckes would have stayed longer instead. guardiola better bring something fresh and not build another team of crafty mice. bayern benefitted by adding power to their barcelona-style good possession-- and the new hires are great but kinda short. every team needs a few beasts here and there. so i hope he doesn't destroy bayern's current versatility with some extremist ideology. pragmatism FTW.
mang these past 2 days have been too much for me. NUTS! i sure picked a good year to start following the bundesliga.
buy low, sell high! yeah im high on victory lololol.
