Bayern Munich – Franck Ribery as the Perfect Team Player
Posted on 2 May, 2013, by Riven in SoccerOne of the more interesting things Bayern Munich have given us in their incredible run this season is the next prototype to the perfect team. One with quite a few talented players, and so-called “stars”, but without the sense of anyone being greater than the collective. Franck Ribery might be the best example of this system, that makes the most of his individual talents while it doesn’t suppress the attacking talent of those around him like Arjen Robben, Thomas Muller and others.

Total Humiliation (Barcelona vs Bayern Munich)
Posted on 1 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerThey might not win the Champions League eventually, but there’s no doubt as to who is the new best team in Europe, the new golden standard for excellence. Bayern Munich, with goals from Arjen Robben, Thomas Muller and one own goal from Gerard Pique humiliated Barcelona 3-0 in the Camp Nou and 7-0 after both semifinal legs, leaving Lionel Messi, who didn’t play, to chew his nails and miss out on the festivities.

Referees Keep Ruining Big Games (Bayern Munich vs Barcelona)
Posted on 24 Apr, 2013, by Riven in SoccerYes, it wasn’t a fair fight. Bayern Munich steamrolled over Barcelona with a 4-0 victory that already puts them in the Champions League without a real need for a second leg. And yet, the feeling that referee Viktor Kassai messed up one a lot of big decisions, including three goals, gives another example of the crisis in terms of match refereeing football is experiencing, while nothing is done (hint: start using replays) to make things better.

Bayern Munich – Javi Martinez in the Center of a Demolition
Posted on 24 Apr, 2013, by Peter in SoccerEvery single player for Bayern Munich did his part, while Manuel Neuer never had to do anything. At the center of everything was Javi Martinez, who completely destroyed the passing game of his opponents, allowing Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Thomas Muller and Bastian Schweinsteiger to roam free and create counter attack at a relentless pace.

Lionel Messi at His Worst (Bayern Munich vs Barcelona)
Posted on 23 Apr, 2013, by Peter in SoccerA 4-0 win by Bayern Munich might signal the end of an era, but those things are usually figured out through a longer period of time. What we’re left with are the facts, and they are that the best team in Germany is much better at the moment than the best team in Spain, as the group of players Lionel Messi usually carried on his back didn’t show up, just like their star player, probably still injured, and giving his worst display of football in recent memory.

Bayern Munich – Thomas Muller Unexpected Shift Brings Perfection
Posted on 3 Apr, 2013, by Riven in SoccerExcept for more goals, Bayern Munich played the perfect match, with everything going for them. An early, lucky goal by David Alaba, and 90 more minutes of constant pressure and fantastic football, that should be enough to pull them through the quarterfinals. A lot of this was enabled by Toni Kroos leaving the match so soon, and the introduction of Arjen Robben to the right wing, while Thomas Muller was shifted to the middle. More
Bayern Munich – The Destructive Power of Arjen Robben
Posted on 14 Mar, 2013, by Riven in SoccerThere’s the Midas touch, and there’s the Robben touch, both blessed and cursed at the same time, although at this stage of his career, Robben often seems to be more of bad seed on a Bayern Munich side that is everything Robben isn’t in the way he plays football.

Bayern Munich – Arjen Robben Showing Off for Next Team
Posted on 28 Feb, 2013, by Peter in SoccerIt was only fitting Arjen Robben was the one who scored a brilliant goal for Bayern Munich in their 1-0 win against Dormund, finally putting the ‘curse of Dortmund’ behind them, which had a lot to do with Robben himself, who has hardly been given the chance to shrug off the ‘loser’ label off his forehead.

Bayern Munich – Thomas Müller Ready for the Big Double
Posted on 17 Feb, 2013, by Riven in SoccerIn a world of Barcelona’s, Bayern Munich will never be regarded as true favorites to win the Champions League, but it’s hard to argue with two finals in three seasons, while playing excellent football in both the Bundesliga and the UCL, having quite a few players having career-best seasons, with possibly no one better than Thomas Müller.

Bayern Munich Are So Good Manuel Neuer is Getting Bored
Posted on 12 Feb, 2013, by Peter in SoccerIt’s been quite a boring season around the major European leagues, with the exception of one or two. The title race in the Bundesliga seems to have been over before the winter break, but that hasn’t stopped Bayern Munich from crushing everything in their pat, and leaving Manuel Neuer unemployed and bored.

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in Swimsuit Calendar Photoshoot
While the Dallas Cowboys are no longer the force they used to be in the NFL, the allure and prestige of being a Cowboys cheerleader is still a thing to envy for some girls (and maybe even boys), and is generally a pleasing thing to see when the ladies join forces to create a swimsuit calender, posing in bikinis on the Mexican island of Cozumel.
