Bayern Comes Up Short

And there was much sadness in the land.

Was anyone else expecting Robben to feature more prominently? His ability to control the ball, keeping it just out of reach of the opposing team is really something to watch. His razor sharp skill resulted in several goals in the lead up to the tournament and I was really disappointed that he didn’t get much of an opportunity to shine in this match.

As much as I don’t care for the style of Inter Milanos strategy, I have to admit that they had defense on lockdown and ultimately that the game was decided on the defense. Inter had a great game keeping Bayerns opportunities to a minimum, and only giving them a few lukewarm attempts to score. Meanwhile Bayerns own defense flagged and left the box wide open for 2 beautiful scoring opportunities, both of which Inter capitalized on.

I had a great time watching the game with friends down at Lumpys despite the outcome and I can’t wait for the World Cup to fire up here in just under a month.

Now that the UEFA Champions League tournament is over I wonder how I will get my soccer fix… EA Sports FIFA 2010 anyone?
