It is called social distancing. Frankfurt should get 5 p for that.The Frankfurt backline don't want to get close to any Gladbach player when in the box. Horrible defending.

Maybe lacked a little intensity but the actual quality was high. Extremely good passing triangles from dortmund.The bolded part is incredibly disingenuous.
It also wasn't "top league quality", it was overall quite poor.
What makes you say that?Most of the players seemed to not want to be involved in these games.
Amazing goal.
Honigstein is in the studio. Hargreaves is the other pundit (from home via video link).Why would they use someone like McManaman? This is a chance for broadcasters as well to increase the value of their BuLi TV rights, especially in the absence of their usual PL business. There are quite a few obvious candidates as well. Steffen Freund (his bio also fit the Dortmund:Schalke match nicely) and Ballack for example know both football cultures and already did their share of punditry, if you're looking for a cheap option Jan Aage Fjortoft or Honigstein probably don't charge a lot either.
It was very much real football. Are you incapable of watching football that doesn't have the atmosphere of a CL knockout tie? Do you ever watch any live football that isn't professional football (in terms of the crowd aspect)? It's different, but it's absolute raw football with just the players playing the match. Top league quality, with random sunday league atmosphere.
At the end of the day, it just depends on what you watch football for, what you actually enjoy about it. If you enjoy watching football for the actual game going on on the pitch, then you'll enjoy this. If you don't care for football that isn't related to your club on a normal day, then you definitely won't care for random teams in a random league with no fans. Not sure why anyone would expect otherwise. If you literally never watch the Bundesliga and don't care about it, but then turn it on now because there is nothing else on, why would you expect to be super interested in it? It meant nothing to you then and it'll mean nothing now (not specifically you, just people who don't watch/follow these other leagues in the first place).
It could very well be that Bayern have their power on their FA like someone in the PL.Wow. Watched highlights now from other games. So many players breaking rules. Just watch Hertha goals. And DFL is not going to ban anyone? Amazing. German goverment must be really happy that they were presented documents so they would allow football. Same documents that are not being followed. Just so football could be played.
You seem to have an agenda too.Some predictable posts with their predictable agendas in here already
Yup. One in particular with so many posts in here already. Think I’m gonna follow your method from the other thread and just not even bother engaging it.Some predictable posts with their predictable agendas in here already
Very diverse opinions today and that's how it should be.Enjoyable games so far. Not sure what all the fuss is about.
Maybe it's because women's football has been forced upon us in the Netherlands that I am somewhat used to football without atmosphere, but I am totally cool with watching it like this. Brandt was a joy to watch today!
What would be your solution to BCD, playing crowd noise over the PA?Very diverse opinions today and that's how it should be.
We all see football from different perspectives.
I bet you they have their fingers crossed for anything to go wrong so they can spam this thread too.Yup. One in particular with so many posts in here already. Think I’m gonna follow your method from the other thread and just not even bother engaging it.
How does this work... you're forced to watch women's games on pain of death?Enjoyable games so far. Not sure what all the fuss is about.

It was awful.I watched a little but I don’t think BCD football works for me when it’s sides that I have no emotional investment in.
You could watch that Robben celebration from his corner goal against United on repeat for an hour or two to build up some hatred towards Bayern and then take it from there.I watched a little but I don’t think BCD football works for me when it’s sides that I have no emotional investment in.
Needs to be the way going forward. Don't want to watch another event with golf atmosphereSky Germany offered a second audio track with stadium atmosphere accompanying the commentator.
Boy what a difference...i agree with the people on here, that completely without fans and chants it feels a little "soulless".
Did your TV station also offer an audio track with stadium atmosphere?
I enjoyed the match but it was scrappy as owt. Misplaced passes, dawdling goalkeepers and CBs and rusty first touches all over the place from both teams. All completely to be expected of course after such a lay-off.Maybe lacked a little intensity but the actual quality was high. Extremely good passing triangles from dortmund.
