Blissett if your out there,
Man City up to 2-0 over Fiorentina after only 9 minutes, lol

 

WOB leads 1-0 halftime on an sort of bizarre goal where the ball rolls on the net over the top post for a while before falling back down the in field whereby Popp taps it in. Just got to wonder if the ball was out of play while It rolled on the net?
LSk comes on strong with 3 close chances but fades after about 10 minutes into a mostly defensive position. WOB takes mainly soft shots after that, usually just bouncing off LSK defenders

FIO hasn’t let an goal in since, but their missing from their starting lineup Boneti, Kim & Breitner(who figured prominently in that last CL match vs the Prague team

 

Played 6 time zone’s away Bayern Munich defeated Kazigurt 6-1. An impressive win since there’s been previous complaints about the field conditions over there, I believe even Lyon once could only manage a tie with them

a win but still more questions than answers given; why LSV had so many close chances? Their problem was probably bunkering too much. That 5-4-1 zone was designed to stop Wolfsburg famed cross kicking from the flanks, but gave Popp a better chance to get to penetrate upfront. When LSK played out in the open, they looked quite good, but lack of subs is probably why they didn’t do it often enough . Oberdorf still needs to prove herself; against a more athletic squad than the typical Bundi team, she didn’t look viable at all, her CB sidekick, Engen, had the way better game. At least for WOB’s sake; finally Pajor & Jansen got back on the field again, though far from 100%

 

well I was looking forward to the Bundesliga’s new policy of streaming most their games, but alas, the Frankfurt/Hoffenheim game link says not allowed to watch outside Germany. Shame, cuz this featured in my opinion was the league’s two most exciting teams. Yesterday Essen/Bremen match was on YT, but was very dry, dullish squads especially with Anyomi continuously missing from the Essen lineup, so gave up watching after about 15 min.
Not to put down WOB/BM, but both teams face rather easy opposition

PS after the twin disasters of the main Bundi flagship squads; the Austrian & German NT’s. here’s hoping that the league coaches start playing more direct style soccer

 

here's highlights Bayern Munich's win over Freiburg. Some rather nice passing & give n go's that BM's men's team or Jorgie would be proud off, but bad goal keeping for the 3rd as well the usual disaster associated with back passing on the 5th goal. Got to say, Linda Dallmann owns this match!


worth noting; Berger's heroics in stopping to PK's in Chelsea's CL win over Athletico Madrid(shades of Angerer at 2013 Euros!). But German fans might have bad memories from a certain time in history when the Chelsea DM named Ingles gets a red for accisentally tripping from behind(hint, Julie Johnson aka Julie Ertz, lol)

 

nothing today, but tomorrow's Wolfsburg's game vs LSV will be on youtube


most can watch Bayern Munich's game
Wnited
quick sign up needed, though geo blocked in Germany

nice pick of Lena Goessling celebrating her 35th birthday. Not sure, but that might just make her the oldest player in the Bundesliga(or at least for the top & mid tier teams)

 

WOB wins 2-0 over LSV. Nothing phenomenal about the game but at least WOB didn't turn the ball over much like they did in the first game,so lessened LDV's chances. Goessling did a good job in bringing the ball up while not making any passing errors. I would give her p.o.g award, though Svava looked pretty sharp on defence. WOB didn't bother playing Rolfo, Blomqvist, Hendrich or Oberdorf. Thinking maybe to rest them for an big game on Sunday, but all they got is Bayer Leverkusen on their schedule
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bayern Munich took it easy on their Kazaknstan opponent, putting a lighter lineup in it. This was a great chance to see play the 18 year old hot shot,Corley.
So what does anybody think about her?
My opnion; she's got terrific dribbling moves, but didn't expect her to be so short! She's great if opponents bunker & so play just half the field. but noticed she's a tad slow when trying to pick up mid to long range passes, which you think would be important for a winger like herself. Interestingly, BM produced another 18 year old named Donhauser to take over around the 80th minute & can you believe, was even shorter than Corley! But she had heart & ran right at the opposing defence(as compared to Corly dribbling around it)
So two more youngsters to look forward too, but remember what I've been saying; woso is going more athletic right now than technical

 

What’s Dallmann’s size?(minus her
four inch hair bun, lol)

surprised she’s headed for Hoffenheim cuz they all ready got Jule Brand at left-wing(that’s where Corley seemed best at)

interesting fact; Corley’s born in Tacoma Washington what seems very ethnic parents(possible poaching aka Fuso?)

Got the feeling it’s going to be end of the road for Wolfsburg vs an Chelsea squad that got 2 of the 3 worlds best rated attacking player’s(Kerr & Harder) an brilliant supporting cast with the likes of Leupolz, Berger, Kirby, Ji.
Plus Chelsea likes to attack quickly upfield vs WOB who’s gets completely exposed when it’s sends its over lapping FB’s upfront. The only weakness they got is their ridiculously overrated slow poke of an defender; Millie Bright. Thus the hopefully WOB will try to challenge Bright 1v1(as this might their only chance of winning)

at least Bayern should be able to beat Rosengard(who didn’t look convincing at all I their taking down over the weak Austrian club)

 

Hoffenheim's game vs Bremen will be streamed shortly

 

This game felt like it was a bit mundane; Wassmuth seemed disinterested, but then you could say that as well for the whole Weder Bremen squad. Maybe it was the weather?;rain poured, then sun, then once again an avalanche of rain followed by sun(I mean monsoon season in Germany? lol).
Once again Jule Brand stood out as the player of the match. She follows several other 18 year olds that have looked good this week; Corley, Pollak, Donhauser & especially the 17 year old/6 footer, Kuver, which means maybe it’s time to look more forward to the u19 Euros, that’s if their having one

possible news that WOB can’t even play Chelsea at home due to Covid restrictions & must meet them instead in Poland. Stay tuned for updates.

And just announced by WOB who apparently are allowed to have an unlimited roster, the signing Lynn Wilms(plays FB for the Dutch NT)
