Yesterday Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski scored five goals in nine minutes. We do not need to explain to you how awesome that is. We were sitting there watching the game, and it was 1-0 Wolfsburg at half time. One of our coworkers went to the bathroom. When he came back, Lewandowski had been subbed on and it was 5-1 to Bayern.
Meanwhile, in Mexico...
