VfB Stuttgart-Deutscher Meister 2007 Thread 07/08[R]

[El Pipiripau]

Congrats on a great win, caught the last 30 and it was a quality performance. Looks like they have finally figured it out.

[Vfbstuttgartfan]

Top players for me today:
Hilbert: scored the important equaliser and set up the second goal
Pardo: Back to his best today, setting up two goals and playing very well
Marica: Came in and did great. Scored the 2-1, set up the 4-1. Really encouraging performance, this guy cost us 8 million, and it seems like he's finally arriving in Stuttgart. I'm happy for him :) and hopefully there'll be much more to come.

What a great result on the road, but at what cost? What kind of injury forced Super Mario out of the game in the first half? I hope it is just minor and he will be fine. Although, last season we found ways to keep on track even when he was injured. I would rather him stay healthy and have our full set of options available up top.

Let's keep rolling on this form and maybe grab some CL points and then keep our BL form going into the winter break.

Hey i'm a Rangers fan. How are you guys ok?

Are you optimistic about playing Rangers at home in the CL on Tuesday? I understand it might not be your first priority, but Stuttgart to have fans to entertain at home and professional pride to play for.

I heard you got a good scoreline today, but a bad injury to Gomes. Will he play against Rangers?

[Vfbstuttgartfan]

Regarding the Rangers game:

- It doesn't really matter for us, but there's always the issue of pride, and i'm sure the team will want to atleast get one win in the Champions League if no more. So I expet us to play with our first side and give it a good go.
- Gomez probably won't play, I think he'll be out for a week or two. But both our other strikers(Cacau and Marica) scored today.
- Our form at the moment: 1-0(H) to Leverkusen, 1-0(A) to Nuernberg, 3-1(H) to Bayern and 4-1(A) to Frankfurt. We're back in form and playing well.
- The team will definitely try against Rangers.
- I, personally, am convinced that we will win the match. But we shall see.

Best of luck to you guys.

Nice to watch you guys back in form today.

Need a favor.

I'm looking for Rote Tor Fraktion "Vfb ein Leben Lang". If someone has it, I'd love to get an mp3 for a road trip this weekend.

Thanks

[Vfbstuttgartfan]

I have it back in Stuttgart on my comp. but not here unfortunately. sorry :(

Btw, how come you like that song?

[panicfc]

Heard it on Myspace and its a cool song. I don't even understand German, but it still sounds good.

I've got a road trip this Friday-Sunday with 4 other guys in a van, and I'm in charge of the music. So footy songs are great for the road.

[Vfbstuttgartfan]

Haha fair enough, well i'll try to find it online for you, dunno if i'll succeed though.

[panicfc]

Thanks. I tried a few places, but can't find it.

HA.....:D

Seems like happy days are here again, is this the begining of your 2nd half of the season championship run ?

I saw the game Frankfurt vs. Bayern a few weeks ago and Eintrach's defense look very solid, and yet you guys sliced thru them like a hot knife on butter (at least on the second half...:D), congratulations on a great win.

Hopefully Super Mario's injury isnt bad, and whats the story with our boy Osorio ? was he in trouble with coach Veh, or just some low performances ?

[Vfbstuttgartfan]

Well, Osorio is fine and fit and not in any trouble, but he IS facing stiff opposition for his starting spot now:
- Beck has proved to be very solid in his spot in the games he has gotten.
- Tasci is also capable of playing RB and did so alright against Bayern.

So, Osorio has the risk of being on the bench for a while, but it's nothing personal, and i'm sure he'll continue to get chances in the starting team.

[Borussia]

Congrats on the 4th consecutive win! Finally you seem to find your shape from last season.

The Rangers fans should be worried...;)

[Vfbstuttgartfan]

I really hope the team shows their real worth in at least one of the CL games, so i'm fully expecting the side to give win against Rangers, even if i'd rather have them go through than Lyon.

I'm surprised Cacau got man of the match, I though Pardo, Marica, Hilbert and Hitzlsperger all would've gotten it over him. But wuddeva.

[Vfbstuttgartfan]

Time to show Europe we can play football after all!

[nekkibasara]

Any news on Gomez? Will he be fit to play?

[panicfc]

Any news on that song by Rote Tor Fraktion?

;)

[Fußballgott]

Any news on Gomez? Will he be fit to play?

Questionable according to vfb.de. Doubt he would start anyway as both Cacau
and Marica need confidence through playing time.

Two teams with nothing to lose going at each other. Should be interesting.
