Ger90 said: ↑

3rd Liga promotion playoff. The winner of each tie gets promoted to 3rd Liga.

Saarbrucken (tops 2BL) vs 1860 Munich (ex 1BL team)
Weiche (tops 4th division) vs Energie Cottbus (ex 1BL team)
KFC Uerdingen 05 (ex 1BL team) vs SV Waldhof Mannheim (ex 1BL team)

No reserves teams made it. Hamburg II, Bayern II, and Freiburg II were the closest ones. With Bremen II relegated this also means that next season will be the 1st season in 3rd Liga without a reserve them competing.

I am hoping that either Saarbrücken or Mannheim can win their tie, so Die Schängel can remain in RL.

dumb Bayern losing the Cup to mediocre Frankfurt. Now we have to see this team play EL. On top of being a meh team, they barely barely play German players. Would have preferred to see Stuttgart make Europe.

Bayern have also been pretty bad ever since their CL vs Real, feel bad for Jupp.

A shake up is needed at Bayern so this loss was good for them

lmao at Kovac and 2 players basically admitting that Bayern should have been given a PK.

Eintracht Frankfurt's DFB-Pokal win also means that RB Leipzig now has to go through the EL qualifiers, starting in Round 2

Liverpool cancel Borussia Monchengladbach friendly over alleged illegal approach for Rhian Brewster

Liverpool’s dispute with Borussia Monchengladbach following an alleged illegal approach for teenager Rhian Brewster has intensified with the postponement of a prestigious pre-season fixture between the clubs.

The German club were heading to Anfield on August 7 for a curtain-raiser to the 2018-19 season. But such is the acrimony sparked by the pursuit of Brewster, Liverpool have withdrawn the invitation and written to the Bundesliga side to issue a warning about their conduct.

what's the point of RB in getting Adams if there is currently no coach, lol.

Teams having Academies is becoming more and more of a useless thing when all clubs do is go and buy foreign youth kids with 1-2 seasons in lower leagues. Recently they are even buying players with 0 experience outside of youth levels and putting them in the main squads. When they have players who play in the same position that are basically the same age in the U19.

that's all one sees, when almost everyday, 1BL teams are non stop being linked with foreign youth kids.

After the links of Balotelli earlier, Favre could also bring Alassane Plea with him to Dortmund

Wolfsburg win the second leg of the playoff against Holstein Kiel to keep their place in 1BL next season. Not necessarily a surprising result, as the ongoing trend in the past few seasons is that the first division ends up clinging on.

Question now is whether Wolfsburg finally wakes up and or becomes the next HSV keeps on struggling among the relegation zone. For the amount they've been spending, definitely one of the most dysfunctional clubs around.

FC Bayern ready to sell Arturo Vidal for 50m 💶 (he has one more year contract, tomorrow he will turn 31 and he is recovery for his second knee surgery) Chelsea not an option without Champion. Man Utd is the best fit in UK. UK or Italy probable destination. 35💷 can be a bargain

looks like after the fuss, Gladbach are stopping their Brewster interest but still are into Henry Onyekuru, who is contracted to Everton until 2022.

Mainz's Balogun might join Brighton in EPL.

lol, seems like the reason why Asano has gotten 3 years loan to 1BL from Arsenal is because he still doesn't have a work permit.
