The regional sender (NDR, MDR, etc) normally only stream the third divsion matches of clubs that are in their respective regions. Stuttgarter Kickers lost the first game 1-2 against Hansa Rostock, btw.
Kickers are 14th in the league after 5 games; record: 1W,2L,2D. They just beat VfB Stuttgart Reserves 4-1, in which Fennell scored a goal. That must have been something. His ratings from Kicker are (in chronological order): 4.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.5, 2.5; for an average of 3.2
He scored off a bicycle kick (with some help from a defender) today in Stuttgarter Kickers' 3-0 win (starts around the 3:18 mark) -> http://www.socceroverthere.com/?p=9954
So is the bicycle kick the new Yank signature goal? This make the 3rd in the new season! BTW, I love how his name just rolls off the tongue of the German commentator!
1080 minutes over 12 games with 2 goals, thus far, including a full 90 vs Babelsburg 03 on 11/3 for his 1st action since September: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/royal-dominique-fennell/leistungsdaten/spieler_58004.html Here's another good video of his bike vs. VfL Osnabrueck on 8/25:
Bad news for Fennell: he has been plagued by a "persistent groin injury" and will be operated on to fix the problem. The article says he will be out till the end of the year. And their first game of 2013 is not until Jan 25, so he should be good to go for the second half the season. http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/...auch-fennell-und-krauss-auf-dem-op-tisch.html The article also states that his coach was fired this week, and that Guido Buchwald has taken over as interim coach. Guido, of course, is one of Germany's 1990 WC heroes.
Royal has extended his contract with Stuttgart Kickers to 2015. Mark this one as a prospect for 2018 under the best case scenario (he'll be 29 then). http://www.stuttgarter-zeitung.de/i...fix.69f33116-fcda-4a02-a03f-787a58b7f35e.html
Unless Kickers manage promotion back to the 2.BL and Royal is still starting for them at that time I don't see any chance of him getting a call up to the NT. Even then starting in the 2.BL may not be enough to get a look with the NT.
RD is back on the bench today for the Kickers. I think he had been hurt for a while. http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/...sv-elversberg-118_stuttgarter-kickers-26.html
Fennell goes 87 min' in match last week for Stuttgart. Not sure which position he played. http://us.soccerway.com/matches/201...tzer-fc-ev/sv-stuttgarter-kickers-ev/1490695/
Royal's played 553 minutes for Stuttgart this season, including 6 starts. http://us.soccerway.com/players/dominique--fennell/67350/
