The ref was awful with his decisions to both teams but especially bad were his calls against Dortmund. He denied them two " must give " penalties and could have even given a another one...
Good game by BVB at the end - lots of dribbles and short passes - that's what was lacking in the first half for them: they were doing more long passes and running through into the penalty box, falling down with the hopes of giving penalty - although some of those could easily be a penalty (ref was more on Wolfsburg side). Terrible deffending by BVB also giving too much space and open areas - if you give space and not cover De Bruyne, guess what, he's going to score. DE Bruyne is probably one of the strongest players in Bundesliga and I could see him play in one of the Top teams soon.
@stiop the reason for late bvb might be attributed to simple fact that wolfsburg decided to protect their scoreline instead attempting to score more goals which turned to be quite risky for them.
I don't usually use internet sayings but this was an "epic fail" by the German F.A to schedule this kick off while the (English) F.A cup was still in progress. The Spanish cup kicking off later allows people to watch that and the F.A.
@neumi17- I'm sure you aren't naïve enough to believe cup final kick-off times are geared purely towards the domestic audience. Football is a £10 billion business and the reason the F.A Cup was moved from 3pm to 5:30pm was purely so more international viewers (primarily the almost 1 billion in the Americas) can watch it. It'd have been 9:30am in L.A as opposed to 7am so a big difference in potential viewers. Those in far-east Asia are hardcore so would watch it even if the kick off is at 2am their time so that move wont alter viewing figures there. The problem is the German cup won't out-view the F.A cup and the Spanish cup kicked off at 8pm our time (the German cup wont out-view that either) so the German cup should be moved to Sunday to avoid clashes and capitalise on the global audience imo.
man look at the foul miki that was quite penaltyish.
This is the reason i like miki he can dribble very similar to messi.
Though a bad day for dortmund right now BVB is the better team.
Man would u look at the weird double header that a pe aubayang had.
@Ffaris- Penalty-worthy you mean. ;-) . And no, Mkhitaryan's dribbling skills are nowhere near Messi's in style or level. The only player in world football who is close is Hazard and Henrikh is no Hazard... well, maybe Thorgan on a bad day. :-p
@SteveHyland well u maybe rite on hazard. But that does not take away the fact Miki is good dribbler though very inefficent one becoz he gives away ball alot.
@AlbertGomez If you click on his name you'll see his contributions - this web gives points automatically based on amount of possession passes shots dribbles and so on and takes away for errors and ball loss.
hahahaha this has to be fate. BVB is 1 up against the wolfsburg. Look at the beautiful ambieance of the stadium the beautiful yellow light that shinning not while ago creating a yellowish colour on the tv screen. Even the God has decided it would dortmund day.
Usually I'd go with Wolfsburg since they are the better and more consistent teamthis season. But because of the fact that Dortmund is much more experienced in finals and most of all because it is Klopps last game as their coach, I think the players want him to win that trophy as a good by present. So 2-1 Dortmund...
Miki has been the best player today. Best passings, best tackles. See above if you're not convinced.

@SteveHyland I think most people in Germany don't care about the F.A. Cup final. So the timing didn't matter.

@Ffaris I was thinking the same thing!
@stiop well thank u for agreeing pal.
fuck
@Javad011 You are from Babol , aren't you ? :D
kagawa deserved 3 assists in this match. 2 sitter have been missed. Even aubayang cross was connected for the goal. Come bvb.
What is Mikimouse contribute? His rating always goes up
@AlbertGomez If you click on his name you'll see his contributions - this web gives points automatically based on amount of possession passes shots dribbles and so on and takes away for errors and ball loss.
@AlbertGomez well then ur were not watching then he playing hard for the team some of his long were really dangerous that only needed to be converted.
@AlbertGomez That's what I would like to know too! Way better than Kagawa, better than KdB? I don't think so...
@AlbertGomez That's what I'd like to know too...
Great game till now! PS.: Wonderful strike by KdB
dortmund were the better team but langerak who made good save not a long ago had to spill the it horribly to allow wolfsburg to score.
@Ffaris And since than Wolfsburg has been the far better team...
@neumi17 well call it momentum wolfhurgs are now a better team. But don't lose hope. Believe always believe.
Reus does not look sharper now. Just now he missed a sitter. But hopefully he would come back in the match and become man of the match.
@Ffaris you're right but Mikhitaryan and gundogan never didn't pass to the reus !!
@marco.reus well u maybe right. But i like miki he works hard for the team.
hahahaha this has to be fate. BVB is 1 up against the wolfsburg. Look at the beautiful ambieance of the stadium the beautiful yellow light that shinning not while ago creating a yellowish colour on the tv screen. Even the God has decided it would dortmund day.
@Ffaris And 10 minutes later, 1-3 for Wolfsburg :)
@Ludo and @Dempseydumpster tgat was ironical. Infact it is sadly funny after happened afterwards.
@Ffaris Yeah about that
Come on Dortmund win this for KLOPP
Klopp deserves a going away present.
Usually I'd go with Wolfsburg since they are the better and more consistent teamthis season. But because of the fact that Dortmund is much more experienced in finals and most of all because it is Klopps last game as their coach, I think the players want him to win that trophy as a good by present. So 2-1 Dortmund...
@neumi17 wow im really suprised here. This guy makes a very resonable anaysis he get flames for that. Seriously how much immature u can get.
This Match is by far the hardest to call, from the 3 cup finals. I really want Dortmund to win, but Wolfburg have just been better this season
