Buddle traveling to Germany to sign with FC Ingolstadt [R]

He got fine service in matches I watched.

His problem was wasting those chances.

But, at least, he's been getting into dangerous positions.

 

I certainly agree, making the most of his chances has been his major concern.

 

We got to 1000 posts. Time for a new thread? Let the naming begin

 

Buddle, Buddle, Toil and Trouble: Edson @ FC Ingolstadt .

 

Eh, it's the end of the season.

Let this roll.

Getting back to the club, they're 7 points ahead of the 17th place Rot Weiss Oberhousen, making the straight relegation a virtual impossibility.

FCI does however need to maintain the form to avoid the relegation play-offs, where they are 4 points ahead of the 16th place Osnabrück.

 

No dig at Buddle but, personally, I hope that Osnabruck make up the 4 points. Enochs deserves it.

 

You can have it both ways. If Osnabruck FC leaps over Karlsruhe(only 2 points behind) then they are in the safety zone at 15th. 2.B 17th and 18th go down automatically, 16th goes to a playoff with the third place team in 3rd Liga.

 

But then Luis Robles gets relegated with Karlsruher (correct spelling of the club). I think we are all going to have to come to grips with the fact that one Yank is going to do down.

 

I could be wrong about this, but I think Robles was just signed for this season, so if Karlsruher get relegated he'll likely be gone anyway.

 

No, you are not quite correct. It is only Karlsruher when SC follows it. Otherwise it is Karlsruhe when it it stands alone. And kicker usually refers to them as KSC.
As an another example you don't ever see Hamburger written unless SV follows it. Without the SV, it is Hamburg. Like with KSC, HSV is mostly used when referring to the club.

the -(e)r ending has do with the C in SC meaning Club and the V in SV meaning Vereing. Both words are masculine (der Club und der Verein), which leads to the adjective ending of -(e)r.

 

Postcard from Europe: Buddle helping the cause

A snippet:
"The German league is a bit more physical," he said. "In the US, we have good athletes, but the Germans are more tactically aware in how they play. We just haven't developed as much with tactics. It's what they stress here, in how they build up and defend collectively."
Of course, he concedes, those German minds are never forced to think the game in the muggy Dallas smolder of mid-August. "It does make a difference," he stated, giving MLS players a degree-of-difficulty point. "You have to manage your body and keep the ball. Maybe their tactics would change [in American summer heat]."

 

If it ended today Osnabruck would be in the playoff to stay up. So if they won that, then all three would stay up.

 

Ingolstadt host 2nd place Bochum tomorrow. Buddle tweaked a thigh in practice on Wednesday, so it is questionable whether he will start.
The article also explains that Möhlman likes start Buddle in home games because "dangerous in front of goal and a good distributor." In away game Moritz Hartmann is preferred because he works more in the defense and has a better motor.

Kickoff is noon eastern.

 

"Ein bier. Zwei bier. Und ein bratwurst. Und große Lederhosen für vier Füße".

BTW, my question is this, Why couldn't he go to a store, pick up what he sees and likes and pay for it with either cash or a credit card?

How difficult is that, even if you don't speak the language?

 

Buddle's on the bench to start the match with Bochum today.

 

Ingolstadt is in Japan?

 

No. But I have been in a German speaking country (Austria) and an Italian speaking country (Italy) having almost no knowledge of either language and got along got enough to buy food, get on the right train, etc.

And that was before the Euros were the singular currency everywhere (Austrian schillings were something like 14 to a $1).

I insist that that is not as difficult for the majority of common household and grocery items.

PS. As to the Japanese - I've been to McDonald's in Hawaii where the Japanese tourists just pointed at the picture of an item and bought it without speaking any English.

 

Just to be the slightest bit contrary, aspirin is probably not the best example used. You know because of BAYER.

We've been speaking German with that one for some time now.

 

A couple things that got me were trying to figure out nutritional info (which could be important to a pro athlete) and for certain items trying to determine which flavor variety I was buying.

 

No Buddle today. Ingolstadt were up 3-0 after 60 minutes, so there was no reason to push a player out there who was carrying a slight thigh injury.
The three points pushes Ingolstadt further and further away from the relegation zone. They now have 34 points and are 7 points above 16th place Enochs and Co., who play league leaders Berlin tomorrow on the road.

 

He probably eats at the club anyway.

That's how most clubs control the proper food mix of their players (unless, after the workout, Edson stops off at a local ice cream parlor)

Huge win for FCI against a promotion hopeful Bochum with only 4 matchdays to go.

Considering Osnabrück averages fewer than a point a game (27 off 29), today's win pretty much guarantees FCI a stay up in BL II.

As the schedule would have it, FCI also hosts Joe Enochs' boys on the last matchday of the season.

 

What does the introduction of the Euro have to do with anything (other than a chance for you to show off your wiki skills by citing the dollar/schilling exchange rate from back in the late 90's)? Edson didn't say he was confused by the prices, he just said there were times he wasn't sure exactly what he was buying.

Back to your first point, I've done the same, but managing your way around a country as a tourist is a different animal to actually living in a place. Looking at my own, rather extensive grocery list, I am quite confident that if I were actually living and doing my shopping in Ingolstadt there are plenty of products that I'd need some help with (ie google translate) to make sure I was getting the right thing (different flavors, nutritional info, etc.).

 

I spot checked a few of the recent seasons, and it looks like 37 points, or one more victory, will definitely do it.

the remaining schedule:

@ Union Berlin 4/24
Erzgebirge Aue 4/30
@ 1860 Munich 5/08
VfL Osnabrück 5/15

 

Yes.
