Stuttgart defense still sucks.

Darmstadt lead in Leverkusen. :nod:

After 7 matches...they are second-to-last with just one draw.

Mainz 2nd team are killing it meanwhile in 3rd league. In 2nd spot if they manage to hold onto that 1:0 lead against Würzburg. Plus played a game less than most teams in the league.

To be fair, they have lost their best players and have replaced them with their own youth players and Regionalliga West is simply too stacked to compete with only young and inexpierienced players because of the broken promotion system. Nevertheless it's impressive how many second teams are in serious trouble.

Augsburg takes the lead against Bayern, damn. Koo set it up perfectly. Augsburg is always tough to play for Bayern, I have so much respect for the job they are doing.

Yup. Too bad we did it exactly like we did it against Werder and stopped attacking after the first goal. Is that Dardai's plan? Score and park the bus?

Let's hope Ibisevic is super motivated against Stuttgart.

Edit: Lusti scores and we take a lucky 2-1 lead at halftime.

They have multiple players who were bought from other clubs. Seriously, losing Amini and Derstroff shouldn't be an excuse.

Good to see Koo doing well at Augsburg. He never did anything for us, though. :nonono:

What I never understand about Stuttgart is that Maxim is not a starter over Harnik. :lol:

Umm ok, goal Bayern. HOLD ON TO THIS DRAW AUGSBURG!

Dortmund fans are crazy. They are having a home game in Hannover.

Bundesliga on Fox has been well worth the wait for people in America IMO. A game on Friday, one on Saturday, and two on Sunday this week on FS1. Wasn't expecting them to show this many games tbh.

What a laughable penalty. Might as well hand the trophy to Bayern now.

Post #1073 » by **ATL Boy** » Sat Sep 12, 2015 3:18 pm

Speaking of home cooking, Bayern just got the most generous home call by getting a terrible penalty called for them. Augsburg robbed in this one.

Tough loss for Augsburg. Although Bayern deserved to win this game because Augsburg converted on their first and only chance of the game, I would not call a penalty in that situation, especially not late in a close game. So I have to admit it was a lucky win. But also well-deserved, as strange as it may sound.

Leverkusen losing at home against Darmstadt, wow. Calhanoglu subbed out. Was his effort so bad today? As a coach, I would never sub him out because of his crazy ability to consistently convert on free kicks.

Edit: Felipe alone is responsible for 3 of Dortmund's 4 goals, what a non-performance :lol:

Hands down. I saw it myself two weeks ago. Hannover is the worst team in the league right now.

Also: Go Cologne! :beer:

Edit: That idiot Meier again. :nonono:

Hah, trailing 15th place by just one point.

Next week it's important that we'll "den Bock umstossen". :lol:

Yep, I'm still shaking my head that they signed and especially extended Frontzeck's contract. He has shown nothing so far indicating that he deserves to coach a Bundesliga team. Hannover was already bad last season and is even worse this season.
Although I'm repeating myself, I have to say it again: Jörg Schmadtke is a mastermind and therefore it doesn't surprise me that Cologne is on the rise while Hannover is on a steady decline.

Only caught the first half hour of our match but the team played with much more energy and passion, even if our possession game was significantly less under-control and much more direct. So far so good for the Lewandowski era at Berlin's cooler club.

Holy cow. Köln being brought back to reality with a crash. Mistake after mistake.
