Just embarrassing, but well, at least you pocket the money, but no one should talk about getting further for the time being. 3rd place is the maximum and that would still be okay.
I would be very cautious with such predictions. Eintracht dominated 60 minutes and could easily have led 3-1. Luck was just not there today. Eintracht performs better and better against better opponents.
Don’t want to rule out finishing fourth, but it’s far too early for that. Who laughs last, laughs best.
I really hope I’m wrong with my prediction, but I think Sporting were the most beatable opponents at home, so it won’t be any easier from now on.
And what exactly was embarrassing about that? Which game did you see that you had to say a word like that after this performance, which was also a first for most of the players? Or did you happen to think back to your last trip to Europe or that your carnival mood wasn’t nearly as great as ours today?
And we are entitled to the income. You can cry as you like or you can take care of your own club, you can speak again after the group stage or if you ever achieve something.
Hahhaa you’re not serious, are you? Are you trying to shoot against Mainz 05 to hit me as a single person? How poor
The income thing wasn’t meant in a negative way, only if you’ve heard all the announcements beforehand and you’re allowed to represent the Bundesliga in the best competition, then a 0:3 at home against a middle-class team from Portugal is very embarrassing. I’ll still keep my fingers crossed for you against Tottenham and Marseille and just look if you stay up without Kostic, this year could be tight
Ah, and what announcements? That we want to survive the group? Wow, what an incredible blasphemy, how can we claim such a high goal?! Is it a game over lately or do we still have 5 games to wipe out today’s result? Nothing was embarrassing today, you can tell me so much that you see it as an individual and not as a Mainzer. Whoever puts such a word in his mouth after this game can also expect a headwind.
We’ll see how close it gets in the end. But you shouldn’t spit out such big tones just because your own club is ahead. Can you fall flat on your face very quickly? You can still dream of something that we had in the stadium today.
Everyone in Frankfurt is aware that you have to enjoy each of these 6 games and it may well be that there are no more games to play. So what? We’re not Bayern or Dortmund, it’s not mandatory for us, even if the rest of Germany’s soccer team is still squinting at the 5-year ranking. In the last few years we were the only ones who held up the flag in European competition anyway.
If I read that again from a Frankfurter, I really get bile. Your mood and fans are respectable. I don’t want to blame anyone in Frankfurt for this either, but why do you always claim exclusivity and define yourself through your mood. Your stadium atmosphere may be good, but it doesn’t stand out from other traditional clubs in Germany (BVB, S04, Werder etc.). Here I like to remember the great Schalke atmosphere on the 31st matchday of the last 2nd league season. Schalke were 0-4 down against Werder at home and the fans continued to support the team. Something like that doesn’t only exist in Frankfurt and at the latest when you slip into the relegation battle again, I can hear you calling again “We’re fed up”. To cite another example, I cite the 2016 relegation battle. Werder played against Frankfurt on the last day of the game to stay up in the league. Of course, Werder had a home game and the fans were able to create a better atmosphere. The Green White Wonderwall of the Werder fans, which is still known throughout Germany, was also created in the process. Why didn’t the “best fans in the world” manage to make this game their “home game”?
We have a good fan culture in Germany. We should all be proud of that. For this reason, I can no longer hear Frankfurt officials/players/fans always talking about the “best fans in the world”. In addition, one should not gossip about fans of smaller clubs and criticize their stadium atmosphere (quote: “You can still dream of something like what we had in the stadium today. “). Your support in Barçelona was certainly good, but there were also a number of favorable factors in favor of Frankfurt (only EL, Barça did not want to compete, an unattractive opponent from Barça’s point of view, Maundy Thursday, nice weather, Frankfurt airport etc.). Under the same conditions, clubs like Dortmund, Schalke and Werder would also have sent more than 30,000 fans to Barcelona (tendency: even more). When Eintracht played in the 2nd Bundesliga, there were usually less than 40,000 of the “best fans in the world” in the Waldstadion. That smells a lot like event and success fans to me.
It also bothers me that, in your opinion, Frankfurt has had to fly the German flag alone in Europe for the past five years. So Bayern won the CL in 2020, where was Eintracht there? That’s right, you embarrassed yourself in the AF of the EL with 0-3 in your own stadium against Basel…
Sorry, but I would prefer that Eintracht hadn’t won the EL. Then the points from Bayern, BVB and Co. would at least only be divided by seven instead of eight. Thus, the presence of Eintracht in the CL not only has no positive, but even a negative effect on the five-year ranking of the Bundesliga.
So many words and yet so little said or referred to the quoted post. No word on the Mainzer putting the word ’embarrassing’ in his mouth as he apparently watched another game. Of course, the bad Frankfurters.
Of course, EVERYONE would have taken so many with them to Barcelona and Eintracht’s European trip would have been the same for any other club in the Bundesliga, of course. Why don’t you add more points to it? Nice weather, Maundy Thursday, airport. Naturally. There are perhaps 2 clubs in Germany where Barca would have run similarly, but certainly not exactly the same in terms of number. Frankfurt has developed steadily upwards in recent years and has impressed every time you have been there in Europe. You can talk badly about a 0:3 against Basel, especially since I could now also include a number of external factors, but of course that only applies when it comes to Frankfurt.
Believe it or not, even in the second division we were at the top in terms of crowds. Of course, with success comes fans, but where isn’t that the case? Is this an exclusive Frankfurt problem? And that I make fun of Mainz, the colleague has to blame himself. Especially since they are almost behind Wiesbaden in terms of fans when we talk about the area here and that’s sad enough. Embarrassing were at most their last European efforts.
We can talk about the 5-year ranking again in November, today was the 1st game and you certainly shouldn’t have lost it. And I don’t know who you’re talking to, but most Frankfurters can assess that quite well with the CL. There the 6 games are enjoyed and in the end everything is bonus on top of that. Which also brings me to the next point: we’re not Bayern or Dortmund, we don’t have to prove anything to anyone in the CL. And if a club deservedly won the EL (but of course it was just luck and the opponents weren’t in the mood, blabla) then they’re welcome to take the income from the other German teams, even if we didn’t lose anything in the competition for many . As I said, we’re welcome to talk again at the end and then we’ll see who made a fool of themselves and where.
