Strange stuff happend this year:

-Müller suspension is ridiculous and thus distorted the complete
match.

-Ramos foul on Podolski was exactly the same as Ribery foul in CL
semis. Ribery was red-carded and missed the final against Inter while
the Ramos foul wasn't even a freekick! Podolski was injured and thus
handicapped the whole match.

Justice would have been:

-FC Bayern Munich winning the Champions League with Ribery playing the
final.
-Germany winning the Semi Finals with Müller playing and thus becoming
World Champion.

Are Bayern and Germany one man teams? I don't think so. However I
agree both suspensions were harsh in the extreme.

Both are succesful for being a *TEAM* rather than a collection of
single players. So if you bring significant changes in such a team, it
can collapse in terms of strength. It happened twice.

Sad stuff. People want (and deserve) to see the best Teams playing.
Not cripple ones.

Agree, very poor and inconsistant officiating!!!

Nothing gives Bayern Munchen the divine right to win the Champions League
with or without Ribery, if they were genuinely to be rewarded the UCL title,
they would have had to beat Inter with Ribery, which we will never know, but
we know without him they lost.

Once again, they would have had to beat the Dutch in the final, and once
again Germany have no divine right to the WC crown!!! Paul the octopus can
back-up these comments!!!

May the best team win!!!

Dame right we want it, but some people do their damn best to stop us from
getting it!!!

I don't know who can stand up to FIFA, but the entire setup needs a thorough
review, from the top man (Sir Blatter), right down to the ball!!!
