    Bundesliga – Bayern Munich Feel Normal, Dortmund Slightly Worried

    It’s not the first time Dortmund have been upset at home, but it’s been a long time since Die Schwarzgelben have found it so difficult to dominate a match they’re hosting or creating an abundance of chances. For Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga didn’t come with a perfect start, but good enough to not be too concerned about anything.

    19 Best Memes of Arjen Robben Diving to Beat Mexico in the World Cup

    We’ll never get one conclusive answer of whether or not it was a foul by Rafael Marquez on Arjen Robben, but a penalty was called and the Netherlands beat Mexico to make it into the World Cup quarterfinals. As expected, the memes and jokes at the expense of Robben diving were soon to follow.

    Netherlands & Arjen Robben Know it Pays Off to Dive & Cheat

    It pays off to try and cheat in football matches. It doesn’t mean that Rafa Marquez didn’t foul Arjen Robben in that highly controversial decision deep into injury time that won the match for the Netherlands against Mexico.

    For some reason people are still shocked by Arjen Robben diving, and then a bit more, and carrying on with it until he wins a penalty.

    Bayern Munich Were at Their Best Last Season When Arjen Robben Wasn’t Playing

    Bayern Munich – Mario Götze Is Just Getting Started

    It was Arjen Robben who scored both goals for Bayern Munich in their most recent win, extending their conquering form in the German Bundesliga this season, but Mario Götze is the player that at the moment makes the difference between a hungry and dangerous side to the one we saw in the second half, that’s simply content with winning and moving on to the next helpless victim that gets in their way of European domination.

    Bayern Munich – Mario Götze Has Every Reason to Celebrate

    The 3-0 win for Bayern Munich over Borussia Dortmund doesn’t really tell the story of the difference between the two teams, but there’s also no doubt about who’ll end up as the champion in the Bundesliga.
