Allianz Frauen Bundesliga 2015/2016 [R]

Being this is the first season I somewhat follow ABL, I wouldn't say WOB are out of it yet.

 

...or simply one of them is falling down in flames, as it happened with Duisburg some years ago. Time will tell.

 

...or simply one of the big teams (notabli Potsdam) is falling down in flames, as it happened with Duisburg some years ago. Time will tell.

 

Potsdam's down fall was easy to predict; besides injuries to Nagasato, Cramer & Elsig, they've lost a substantial amount of firepower from last year after Frausing-Peterson, Simic, Amonma, Andonova, Bremer & Evans. left They've brought in Kellond, Huth, Schmidt, Mauro & Makanza this season, but I don't think those newbies are anywhere on par with what Potsdam lost.
The one thing puzzling about front runners Munich & Frankfurt, is that their both 4-0 but with very low scores. Frankfurt for instance has scored only 6 goals(in 4 games) while giving up zero. Got to wonder if their going so 'defense crazy' in preparation for taking on that huge juggernaut, Lyon, somewhere down the line in the CL?

 

Thanks for you opinion, Hotjam2.

By the way, I am sorry for the double-posting: I had some malfunctioning and I wasn't sure my post had been sent. When I realized I had sent it twice, it was too late to edit.

 

Actually, the new CEO has already stated that their football sponsoring is one of the areas where budget cuts are considered. It depends on how severe VW will be hit. VW is the biggest employer in Lower Saxony and partially state owned. If people start to lose their jobs, they will have to make severe cuts elsewhere too, even if they are just symbolic.

And the main reason why VW started to pump money into VfL wolfsburg was that the former CEO is a big football fan.

The managers do the same as the players and coaches of VfL. They live just outside of Wolfsburg, not exactly a grey wasteland:

Or they live in Berlin. A few thousand people commute from Berlin to Wolfsburg every day, the train takes about 50 minutes.

 

I didn't actually check the date, but while the comments weren't known then - that this might effect VfL Wolfsburg was pretty clear from the start. And the club was kept running for pretty much the same reason why it got started - it was the hobby of the old big-shots at VW (plus marketing - that VW wants to make Wolfsburg more attractive isn't exactly news, but they aren't going to keep the club alive just for that). Right now people here are very concerned - the city of Wolfsburg is preparing for the worst case scenario already, if this happens VfL will be the least of their problems.

 

Potsdam is now in 11th place(relegation zone) it's hard to believe because they still got some active NT players like Kemme, Schmidt & Huth, along with Swiss NT captain, Wahti & the Aussie, Kellond-Knight, who I believe made the WC all-star team.
The coach Bernd Schroeder(age 73) probably is getting too old. Ada Hegerberg bad mouthed him in this article after she played for him a few years back

as BL, glad to see the blond cutie, Turrid Knaak, playing so well; she was part of the 2010 u20 WC championship team, but never made the big time(meaning big club or senior NT) since

 

72nd minute, SC Sand 1, Wolfsburg 0.........but will it hold up?

 

and the lead holds up.............I can hear the Wolfies sayin about the goal .........Damn.......janovic, why you had to score!

 

Unpredictability is so much fun.

 

I'm looking for a breakdown of all of Sasic's goals from last season, but I can't find anything. I want to know how many she scored against each team. Can one of you help me out?
