Now, I know that Kaiserslautern was relegated and they're in the 2-Bundesliga, but did anyone else have a little bit of a laugh (or cry) when they saw our lineup for today? Pretty sure someone (*cough* Jerome *cough*) is starting as a bit of a punishment for his performance last Sunday...and I much prefer Kapitan Tymo to Kapitan Arjen, but that's okay.
And 12 minutes in, Pizarro gives us the lead, 1-0, off a lovely assist from Robben.
By minute 18, my commentators had commented on Robben's attempt to re-gain fitness at least three times. I wonder how long before they start talking about how van Gaal is to blame...
We're back from the half and within the first few minutes, Robben scores to put us up 2-0. My German stream died, which means I'm now watching the match in Portuguese. Which, well, is interesting. Better than Arabic or another language I don't speak, but it's a little weird hearing the German AND the Brazilian names pronounced correctly.
Then there was another Pizarro goal and another Robben goal. Woohoo.
Not bad, folks, not bad at all. Glad to see some of the newbies get some playing time. And with that, despite the match not being over, I'm off to class. Until Saturday...(and the entire US cheers for a late match start! I can sleep in past 7:30!!!)
