QUOTE (X-Offender @ Oct 21 2014, 10:58 PM) Did you guys know that Lahm has retired from the NT? Weird... Why weird? He left at the top.

This result puts a lot of perspective on England, Russia, Germany and Italy.
Roma went to City and got a credible draw in a match many saw as a 'cracker' between a top Italian side and the English champions.
However Bayern absolutely demolishing them away shows how far Italy have fallen, and just how poor City are in Europe.
They threw away a 2-0 in Moscow and dropped another two points, and somehow Pellegrini's millionaires just cannot translate their domestic form to European competition.
The Group of Death is a stroll for Bayern, while Roma, miles behind them, are still miles ahead of City, who are significantly ahead of Moscow.
Italian sides are appalling in Europe, bar Milan.
Juve got that lucky win V Malmo but were easily beaten by Atleti, if not by as many scores as the gulf in class merited. And Roma comfortably beat the woeful CSKA, scraped a draw against a dire City, and were simply r*ped tonight by a Bayern who arguably aren't what they were under Heynckes.
Football. A funny old game.

Well Lahm has always been "special". He published a rather controversial autobiography that pinched quite a few players he played with. Beside this, Lahm left Germany at the top.

Yeah, but this has not been about loving or liking Roma at all. Having the second team in Serie A get humiliated with 7 goals on their turf is something very bad for the whole Italian league.

Having the second team in Serie A get humiliated with 7 goals on their turf is something very bad for the whole Italian league. Bayern got 4 from Madrid last year in Munich, Barça got 7 overall from Bayern two years ago. It's a terrible result, surely, but I wouldn't look so much into it. Everyone knows that Bayern are light years ahead of Roma. Garcia just approached the game in the worst possible way, and let Bayern do whatever they pleased. If they'd played more on the defensive and used their chances better, I'm sure the result wouldn't have been so tragic.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Oct 22 2014, 02:27 PM) Two curious facts: 1. Last time Roma lost with such a huge goal difference was against ManU in 2007, precisely 7-1 2. Last time a team coached by Garcia lost with such a huge goal difference was 6-1, when he was training Lille, against ... wait for it... Bayern (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) 1- Ohhh, I remember that match..some real battering. 2 (IMG: style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG: style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ..He has some issues with Bayern.
