Germany's two best theoretical nos. 10 are Kai Havertz, who is an elegant giant who looks like he was built in a lab, and Thomas Muller, who is an absolute physical abomination who can barely control his limbs.

Frankfurt have employed multiple Mexican soccer players over the past few years. Whether or not he knows it, t's not a coincidence that Shea is here.

No injury time ... despite four goals in the second half. They need to void Sam's bet.

Bayern have 19 players worth at least 10 mil on Transfermarkt. That's after the values were depressed due to the pandemic, too. You're not even allowed to have 19 players in your matchday sqaud!

That was fun -- our liveliest chat yet. Thanks for participating, all. We'll do another one for the Dortmund-Bayern game on Tuesday. Spare a thought/create a GoFundMe account for Sam.

Great through ball from Fernandes to Davies.

That was a total beatdown. We can all spend the second half pulling for Sam, whose "Frankfurt +2.5" bet seems like it hinges on whether or not Bayern sub on a bench player who feels like he has something to prove.

Frankfurt have conceded goals from: 1) a midfielder playing a no-look through ball to the other team in his own box, and 2) a center back trying to do a cruyff turn but instead kicking the ball off his own heel and into his own goal. Cool.

That's 7 goals, 17 assists for 30-year-old Thomas Muller.

Good morning Ryan. My sexuality is a low driven cross from Alphonso Davies.

To celebrate signing his new contract, Manuel Neuer hasn't made a save yet.

Last week I talked about how I didn't love Leon Goretzka. You're welcome, Leon.

Bayern have ... zero passing midfielders on the field currently? This should be interesting. Also, Cuisance looks like every kid I went to middle school with. All he's missing is one of these: https://www.thesteelshop.com/products/7mm-steel-figaro-link-chain-necklace-ssn70w?variant=31112801058858&currency=USD&utm_campaign=gs-2018-10-03&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign&gclid=CjwKCAjwk6P2BRAIEiwAfVJ0rH5kmhw4JER2ckUG8qK_6lIdAZcZMr_Cc4TPdOSY7gtFqTVuNNxt0RoCJsoQAvD_BwE

The announcer just said, "There wasn't much he could've done about the own goal". Lmao.

Has there been a utility player like Alaba before? In terms of skill and variety I feel like it might be unprecedented. Winger, OB, CB for Bayern, and used as a 10 for Austria I believe.

I keep on thinking about the damage TAA could do if he made the switch to midfield like Alaba did

I genuinely can’t tell if Kimmich came to his senses and shaved or not

Gnabry should be starting every single game. As a Bayern fan, I'd like to see Perisic relegated to the youth squad permanently.

Bayern finished with an XG value of 3.59 the highest in the Bundesliga since the restart and since their match against Hoffenheim on Feb 29
