Augsburg are in the hunt for promotion to the 1 Bundesliga. They are currently 2nd (automatic promotion) but are playing right now. They are coached by former 'Gladbach coach Jos Luhukay.

However, the 2nd team plays in the Landesliga-Bayern-Sud, which is apparently in the 6th tier of German soccer.

 

It's odd that a 2.Bundesliga team on the verge of promotion would have a reserve team that low in the German pyramid. Most German clubs in the top two divisions have a reserve team in the Regionalliga.

 

Yes, or even in the 3. Liga. It doesn't look like Augsburg II is getting promoted this year, and even if they do, it'll take at least two years to get to Regionalliga.

Wiki says this:

 

He is still playing on the 2nd team. He has one goal in 13 appearances.

 

Now with FV Illertissen (Regionalliga Bayern - 4th tier):

You are on fire with the thread titles lately

 

He scored for FV Illertissen II on 4/5 vs. ASC Oberweikertshofen.

 

Robinson was an unused sub as FV Illertissen opened up their Regionalliga Bayern campaign yesterday with a 3-0 home win over FC Augsburg II.

During the 2013/2014 campaign he played 223 minutes for the first making 2 starts and 3 substitute appearances.

FV Illertissen finished in 2nd in the Regionalliga Bayern last year which earned them a spot in this year's German Cup. They will host Werder Bremen in the first round.

 

German Cup slots for the lower leagues are awarded through the regional cups and not the table.

 

Except for the second slot for the Bavarian region.

Bavarian Cup final last year saw Würzburger Kickers defeat SV Schalding-Heining.

The Bavarian representatives in DFB Pokal this year are Würzburger Kickers and SV Illertisen.

Both the English and German language versions of Wikipedia say SV Illertisen got in through their position in the Regionalliga Bayern (best placed non-reserve team).

 

I didn't know laurence fishburne had a kid playing soccer in germany.

 

A Google search for a Dominic Robinson from Augsburg turns up what appears to be his Facebook page (lives in Augsburg, "likes" FV Illertissen), on which he lists his hometown as Los Angeles. Might mean he lived there at some point.

@bungadiri -- Can we combine these threads in YAA? Thx.

 

Funny, I used a site:bigsoccer.com search for him and that thread didn't show up.
