First time since 90 years Germany plays for ice hockey world title

^ this, not more, not less. They wrestled down team USA and now meet Canada in the final.

Far more curious today however was the final day in the German Bundesliga, a day that had its screenplay written by a dramatist from Hollywood usually writing screenplays for the Die Hard series. It was a distance duel between the leading team BVB Borrussia Dortmund, and 2 points behind them Bayern München. The drama included all elements a football drama could include, including last minute goals, penalties, big chances missed, the decision being in balance, then looking decided, than being in balance again. In the end, Dortmund played only a draw and München got a win, so they won the title (11th in a row) by the closest of leads by points: none (71 both), München had scored more goals over the season). It was the by far most dramatic and exciting seasons final I can remember. And curious. München had a pest-and-plague season behind it, and in the minutes the games were whisteled off München's president Kahn and sport director Salihamidzic got fired. The latter learned it two minutes after the game was over and the trophy was secured and he was standing at the kickoff point and some other man told him. Kahn did not even appear in the arena, later twittered that he was told to stay away. Wowh. Now you know why in Germany we call them the 1. FC Hollywood. Their new film'S title: "Titan has fallen" (during his active career as record national and Bavarian goalie Kahn was called the Titan).

Anyway, today it was football drama at its very best. Hollywood couldnt do it better. And I am not even especially a fan of the clubs involved, or football in general.
