Re: The Bundesliga Thread

Dortmund can always win 4:0 against Hertha tomorrow

[VivaStPauli]

Counting Lahm and Alaba as defenders btw.

I thought Hamburg could pull it off this week and build some momentum going into next matchday but they always seem to disappoint.

Oh, also, I started following the Bundesliga in earnest last year (before then only casually, and mostly for players that were interesting). Had to pick a team and I went with Frankfurt. I really enjoy watching them play. Stendera and Oczipka are awesome. <3 Plus they have Castaignos who I've always liked even if he didn't live up to the hype.

On their game today...Stuttgart were unfortunate not to score more early on, but after the keeper was off especially Frankfurt really took advantage well. Castaignos had a great game...hopefully he can build confidence from this performance (2 goals and a peno earned) because he really stunted his development over the last couple of years. We really need it because otherwise we're looking at Luuk de Jong to succeed RVP and Huntelaar...lol

Also Frankfurt have some of the nicest kits in football IMO.

HUMMELSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[rwo power]

Mats Hummels scored the 1:0 for Dortmund against Hertha BSC in the 27th minute now.

[VivaStPauli]

That premium Dortmund finishing, though. OMG.

[VivaStPauli]

The few goals they managed to score were real beauties, though.

[rwo power]

Lucien Favre will turn the wheel around. In the Swiss football genius we trust!

[Hapless_Hans]

Boateng suspended, Benatia probably with a harmstring injury now, Bafstuber and Javi still injured.

Guess we can't sell Dante to Leverkusen now, seeing that we play them next Saturday

Or we just go with the Rafinha-Alaba-Bernat 3 man backline

We went ahead and sold Dante anyway, to Wolfsburg

Lahm-Alaba-Bernat backline it was



Thank you Dante

Hats-off to German fans

(German / Austrian / Swiss proxy needed)


The  mother of all tap-ins: the 1:0 was a real screamer by Jan Koller (idly standing at the right post), and Jens Lehmann (in grey) didn't look good at all.


Dedé celebrating with the fans after scoring the penalty leading to the 4:3


Dedé thanks the referees for giving him the penalty after his spectacular dive XD


Even Ex-Schalke player Kevin Kuranyi dons the black+yellow to honour Dedé


Full house in Dortmund: The Südtribüne


Even Norbert Dickel is subbed in - and scores a penalty


A Last Good-bye: Leonardo de Deus Santos - Dedé

Dedé's Testimonial Match

Some of those names bring a tear to my eye

I had one German program as a kid, DSF, would wake up every morning just to see the highlights... They also had Serie A highlights, my heart would jump when they say Inter Mailand, as I didn't have internet, Serie A wasn't shown and my TV had no teletext, so that is where I would find out the results

[rwo power]

Sport1 is the new name of the good ol' DSF. And yeah, that testimonial match was really something, considering who all came there to say farewell to Dedé who is/was one of the most beloved BVB players ever.

[Hapless_Hans]

Claudio Pizarro is back in Bremen after his contract at Bayern expired, set to sign for for Werder for the 3rd time in his career.

Greeted by fans upon arrival, though my first impression was that it's not a good sign he would have to get there using a walking frame

[RealGunner]

Can BMG finally get their first win of the season tomorrow?

(The English text exaggerates a tiny bit, but the - German language - comments of the players are pretty funny nonetheless. XD)

Pep forgetting Vidal only has 60 vision and 72 agility.

[RealGunner]

I am sure he has over 80 agility?
