Bundesliga and the rest: Domestic and European competition discussion

21 year old SC Freiburg center back Caglar Soyuncu will be moving to a "big" PL club this summer for 20-25 million euros, according to an ex-national team manager

Hoffenheim actually take the lead 1-0 vs Istanbul BFK.

 

And they concede the equalizing in the final minute of stoppage. Shit ending and no ground picked up in the table, still remaining in 3rd place.

 

Nagelsmann has been getting exposed lately. Werder Bremen beat them easily in the Pokal. They haven't won in 4 match days in the BL. And can't even hold onto the best chance they had to take a win with away goal advantage in Europa today.

 

Selke with a nice pass in the box, but Esswein's shot is flat.

 

Selke the best player on Hertha scores to make it 1-0!!

 

Hand ball penalty not given to Hertha despite the replay clearly showing the ball going off the Zorya defender's hand

 

WTF Koeln!

 

No idea how Peter Stoger still has his job. How much lower do they have to go.

I don't think he's a bad coach, but sometimes these measures just have to be taken to stop the bleeding. Gladbach had a similar nightmare start of the campaign a few years ago, and they had to get rid of Favre.

 

Köln tied it at 2-2. This is gonna feel like winning the treble if they can somehow get another one for a comeback victory

 

Köln are going for it, in the lead 3-2 now

 

Still a mountain to climb in terms of the group. But at least Köln made it one helluva comeback winning 5-2 for some entertaining football.

Hertha's 2-0 win keeps them within reach too. But it's still gonna be a challenge. Both of them and Hoffenheim need to basically get all winning results from this point onwards to have a chance.

 

5 - @fckoeln_en scored more goals today (5) than in their ten Bundesliga games this season combined (4). Relief. #KOEBATE

A last minute goal by Seb Polter gives Union Berlin a 1-0 win vs St. Pauli. The Eisernen continue their strong start to the 2BL campaign, to keep pace with Fortuna Düsseldorf and Holstein Kiel.

Those three and FC Nürnberg are beginning to stand out from the rest as main promotion contenders.

 

Bosz raus after today?

 

Hmm...well we've just reached that scoreline

 

Dortmund face Stuttgart next. But then have to play against Tottenham, Schalke, Leverkusen, and Real Madrid afterwards. Right now I don't fancy their chances with those 4. The rough ride could continue for a bit more.

 

Looks like Dortmund are staying with Peter Bosz, and could provide the coach with more winter signings in January.
