Frauen-Bundesliga Follies 2011

That's called a real crisis, in my books.

I only follow Bundesliga for japanese players, like Kumagai, Nagasato and Ando, but I am really impressed by the way Frankfurt seems to be crumbling to pieces... the team is chock-full of great international players, and it doesn't really seem the same one that was easily winning match after match at the beginning of the season...

And don't tell me it's Crngorcevic injury, 'cause it can't explain anything for sure...

 

Kozue Ando would want to have a word with you!

(2-2 at the moment, with Ando scoring first goal for Duisburg and preparing the second one with an header hitting the crossbar, before Popp scores for good).

 

I guess the Duisburg seen today can easily make consecutive losses for Frankfurt become 4 in two weeks, when they'll have to meet...

 

Great come back. The match was pleasant to watch.
Liked the little fight between Laudehr and Peter

 

Lol, it wasn't so "little". If referee wouldn't had put a stop to this with a yellow card I bet it would have easily degenerated...

By the way, although that action probably wasn't a foul, i can understand Laudeher's feeling: she played a great match, but she had countless fouls committed on her...

 

The full-game replay is http://tv.dfb.de/index.php?view=3962 of which I watched almost 30 minutes and since then I am denied access. Is this geo-blocked as they say?

 

Looks like Simone extracted full revenge in the 90th minute....... just walked around Babett to make that cross.

 

Potsdam, Duisburg, Duisburg, Potsdam... yes yes that's all very nice but, as they say, revenons à nos moutons.

Ha... hahahaha! Oh, Conny, you little rascal you. Was it a good goal, or just her usual? Heeheehee. At least it (probably) didn't come at Thunebro's expense. Is there footage?

Walked out... of the post-game press conference? Of your and all other Frankfurt fans' affections? Details, details please!

 

Well, anyway there must be something really wrong if, with Crngorcevic injured and the team apparently unable to score in any way, Landström doesn't find any place and the coach says that everyone would be better than her!

I mean, this is very close to kicking Landström out of the team. And I hope for the coach that he has the approval of the club in doing that, because sweden forward had to be quite an investement for the club last year.

I am not saying the coach is wrong at all, but you have any clue about how the situation came to that? Is it possible that just some laziness in training sessions determines a so deep fracture or is there something more that we don't know? Come on, Micol, give us some gossip about reckless Landström's nights in Frankfurt!

Anyway, I am relieved that the goal apparently wasn't Kumagai's fault. It's probably enough of a pressure playing in a team that lost last 3 matches, without having to worry about your own mistakes (by the way, doesn't Champions' League's PSG-Frankfurt makes it 4 consecutive losses, although they scored and they passed the turn anyway?)

 

I think if it was anybody other than Landström, the coach would be in serious trouble. Since it's her, people seem to agree it doesn't matter and are happily discussing the Prinz ridiculousness.
I for one am amazed that this guy (still) has a coaching job. Nobody would dispute that Landström has serious problems with soccer as it's played around her for the past couple of years. But you don't say that in public with her in attendance! If you're the coach and she's too bad for the roster, don't put her in. I'm sure there are promising teenaged forwards in FFC's second team (hahaha) to replace her. That's why you pay for those lower league teams after all. As far as I know Landström hasn't complained publicly about not playing. That means she doesn't deserve the public humiliation either. Will be interesting how she reacts, fight or flight.

Anyway, I'm just happy Linda Bresonik managed to pull herself out of the mess she dug herself into by her own pretty hair. What a nice game to watch. One thing going right woso-wise this week.

 

Ms Bresonik definitely had a "game in two halves". What a turnaround from 1st half calamity.

 

It says in "Culture Shock: Sweden" that Swedes are very polite and have trouble understanding when others are purposefully not polite. For instance, it does not work to try to intimidate/impress a Swede by making her wait, because if you are late to your appointment with her, she will just assume that you have either had an emergency, or have been badly raised, and five minutes after you were supposed to meet, she will simply wander off and leave you to try to explain yourself later. At the same time, Swedes have a positive horror of anyone being embarrassed.

Carrying this to the absurd, I can imagine Landström during the press conference thinking "Coach must not realize I'm still in the room, I had better make as quiet an exit as I can so that he can continue to insult me and not be so ashamed of himself later."

Actually physically clumsy, or 'clumsy' as in 'not with the program/doesn't play well with others'?

 

Well that was nice of her. After all, they had been teammates waaaaay back in the Baaaaad Old Days, before the Great Turbine Meltdown... chuckle, chuckle, oh dear, oh dear, those are the worst, she must have been absolutely furious, with herself and Krieger too. glad it wasn't Thunis' fault.
