Does anyone feel that the commentators for German Bundesliga on Football Channel are

a little biased, especially toward FC Bayern Munich or some of its players, or is it just me? And, they got the players' names wrong sometimes. It made me feel as if they are thrown into commentating for the Bundesliga when in fact, they actually wished that they were commentating on some other matches that they were more interested in. I wished I could tell them, whoever they are, that Lahm is not Schweinsteiger is not Van Buyten is not Müller is not Mandzukic is not Alaba is not Dante........ and the list goes on. Also, I think it's really i-don't-know-what-word-to-use when they made comments saying things like FC Bayern would still do as good even if a particular  player is not with them even though the player was scoring goals for the team. I mean, why say such hurtful things? And some are really biased against Bastian Schweinsteiger. I know there are people out there who don't like him as much as I do too, but sometimes the commentators' remarks were just negative and condescending. An instance was when Bastian Schweinsteiger was probably trying to explain to/plead with the referee about his so-called penalty and the commentator went like, "Why is Schweinsteiger even talking to the referee. He's not the captain, Lahm is". I know the captain usually speak on behalf of the team to the referee, but if Schweinsteiger was the person directly involved in the so-called penalty, wouldn't he be in the best position to talk about it?

Well, if they (the commentators) ever read this, they probably would ask if I could do a better job than them. Frankly, I wouldn't foresee myself being a good commentator, so I wouldn't even take up the job in the first place. But if it's your job, it's just natural for you to understand what you are doing and do it well. Getting names wrong, not knowing who the player is and has to wait till he turned his back so you could see his name on his shirt are definitely things that I think a sport commentator shouldn't do. I know there are a lot of players and it might be difficult to remember all the names, but seriously, every time? Fans would probably already know who the player is, what's the point of mentioning the name after 10 seconds later, and leaving the interval in silence with the commentator probably hoping the player would turn his back to the screen so he could see his last name on his jersey.

Meanwhile in FC Bayern Munich, Holger Badstuber suffered another rupture of his cruciate ligaments in his right knee again and has to be kept out of matches for another six months. That's really saddening.

And it seems like an end of the football season marks also the end for many. Jupp Heynckes' last season with FC Bayern Munich as their coach. Mario Götze's last season with BVB Dortmund as he is going to FC Bayern Munich for the next season. I probably need some time to get used to see him in his new red jersey. Just a little too used to seeing him in yellow. A little too many Marios in FC Bayern? I hope the current Marios will still remain in FC Bayern even though a new Mario is coming. I'm not sure how the team dynamic for the upcoming season will be. New player, new coach...... I hope it will be for the best. For them to claim the position of deutscher Meister again.

And away from FC Bayern Munich, Mike Hanke from Borussia Mönchengladbach will not have his contract renewed with the team, so basically, he will not be playing with the team anymore. :( It's kind of sad because I read that he was really happy to be in the team. Also, other prominent leavings in the football world would be Sir Alex Ferguson and David Beckham. I guess David Beckham is just literally an icon for football. Probably nobody, even without any knowledge of football, would not know or have not heard of him. 20 years of career sounds pretty short, but it's still awe-inspiring.

And once again, GET WELL SOON, HOLGER BADSTUBER!!!! I just wish I could give him a hug because he has been such an inspiration to me. Unlike me who has not achieved much, he, being the same age as me, is a renowned figure with so many people supporting and being there for him. He might probably feel that he is wasting his time away because he has to keep out of the field for another 6 months, plus athletes careers are pretty short, but I hope he wouldn't be discouraged, continue to fight on and come back a better player.

Meanwhile, I shall continue to work toward my dream... though I might not be as successful as Holger... but still... life moves on...
