Rennes is dominating the last 5-10 minutes.

 

TOMASSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN





And Delpierre

 

'89 PENALTY. We're lucky tonight

 

LJUBOJA SCORES HIS FIRST GOAL FOR VfB!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

FT:

Rennes 0
VfB Stuttgart 2(Tomasson, Ljuboja(P)).

Fvcking lucky, but hey, its nice to celebrate something every now and then this one result already puts us in an excellent position to qualify. I expect atleast 4 points from the next 3 games(and that's the absolute minimum) and that should easily be enough to send us through.

 

My ratings:

Hildebrand 6 - looked unsure at times but he didn't let in any goals.
Stranzl 5.5 - A little error prone, but not terrible.
Meira 6.5 - Solid as usual.
Delpierre 6.5 - A few lapses in defense but overall solid, and if anyone should be thanked for our lucky lead, it should be Delpierre just as much as JDT.
Magnin 5.5 - Not horrible, but wasn't good either. In fact, he was poor.
Soldo 6 - Unspectacular but he did his job.
Hitzlsperger 6 - Average, however it is an improvement on alot of his performances for us since joining.
Gronkjaer 5.5 - An off-day, though he did look dangerous at times. I wouldn't have taken him off so early.
Tiffert 6 - Didn't play well, but fought and ran alot and earned the penalty.
Cacau 5 - Poor, way off his best imo.
Tomasson 6 - Missed one good chance in the first half, and lost the ball alot. An off-day, but it's all ok 'cause he did what he does best, which is put the ball in the back of the net.

Subs:
Ljuboja 6 - Made a stupid dive in the penalty box to earn a yellow and didn't do too well, but to see him score his first goal for VfB from the penalty brings his grade up a little.
Carevic - - Didn't see enough of him to grade him.

 

Score between Shakhtar and PAOK(highlight to reveal) : 1-0

That leaves us top.

 

Back from the bar where i saw the Leverkusen game.

We are completely unlucky:
- 1 regular goal for us not given
- The Leverkusen goal was offside
- We hit the post twice and had a shot saved by a defender off the line.

It was an outrageous refereeing performance, well linesman performance and it stole us a comfortable win(i wonder whether there were any discussions with the Croatian mafia). A point in Leverkusen is not a catastrophe but we clearly deserved two more. It's a shame, but atleast for the first time this season i can say that i was truly pleased with how we played and after our two games this week, i definetely have a little more confidence in Trap again. But now we must continue the good form we showed in the last two games and beat Hannover next Saturday!

 

Mmmm, i wish i had Sport1 and Sport2 over here...

i must admit though that i'm pretty pleased with being first, quite a feat considering i went into this week 10 points behind.

 

Go away

 

I notice you haven't responded.

I was just kidding

 

DFB-Pokal match tonight.

Against Rostock. No pushover, and i still remember the beginning of our downfall that we haven't gotten over yet was when we lost 2-1 in Rostock last year. No pushover, but i still expect us to reach the next round.

AUSWAERTSSIEG!

 

I'm busy so i have to follow the match online, i can't go to a pub this time.

And we lead!

'2 Hitzlsperger.

 

HT:
Hansa Rostock 3(Schied,Prica, Arvidsson)
VfB Stuttgart 1(Hitzlsperger)

This is horrible

We still have a small chance of going through but even this early on i don't believe we can do it.

 

Change at half-time.

Gentner on for Soldo.

I'm pessimistic about the chances of this changing anything at all.
