Bundesliga and the rest: Domestic and European competition discussion

Werder and Darmstadt look to be in the clear so far

While Union Berlin still having struggles with RL level Chemnitzer

 

Mario Goetze to make this competitive debut for Frankfurt as he's in the starting XI vs Magdeburg in the Pokal

 

Easy work by Frankfurt to get a win vs FCM and wrap up today's matches

The only games remaining in the opening round of the Pokal now are Leipzig and Bayern with their respective opponents from the lower tiers

 

Freiburg are expected to sign another midfielder before the transfer window closes, and have a budget of about 5 million euros to work with

Top Scorer=Selke
Breakout Player=Sarr

 

hahahah

But honestly dont think much will change to previous years.

Only point which will be interesting will be TOP SCORER.....NO Lewa NO Halland

 

If Hertha had kept Magath they would have been champions, they already have a world class CF and Kevin Prince Boateng >> Kimmich

Bayern would have done way better if they'd signed Draxler & Mustafi instead of chumps like Mane & De Ligt.

 

A weakened Bayern still making easy work of Frankfurt so far on the season opener

 

How's this a weakened Bayern

 

Goretzka was injured today, and Coman red card suspension from before. So Bayern would've been even more full powered. But clearly they're still a class above. Frankfurt got destroyed in every way possible

 

Bayern's movement was great, but Frankfurt were so open their back 3 was constantly exposed, gaps everywhere. The performances of Kimmich, Gnabry, Muller and especially Musiala were very encouraging from a NT perspective, nice assist from Sane when he came on too.

 

back 3 will always be dumbass shit, tbh. Wish most clubs would stop using it.

according to some reports, Musiala could be ahead of Coman, LMAO. Another Frenchie L..

 

LOL Boyata got axed from Hertha squad.
When asked by Sky, Schwarz confirmed that Boyata was not injured: "It's a sporting decision that we made. Uremovic has made up the training deficit from the preparation.”

finally someone axed this mediocrity who was captain last season, lulz.

 

all that money spent and Union still better than Hertha.

 

Augsburg aren't necessarily that strong of a squad and Maassen is still fresh into the job, but Freiburg looking good to begin the season

 

Look at Hertha
Christensen=very poor GK
Kenny, Uremovic, Sunjic=got plucked from Championship
Ejuke and Kanga=got plucked from Swiss and Russia
Maolida, Selke, Plattenhard=average
Boateng=past his prime

some real shit scouting and planning.

 

Selke is NOT average.

 

back to back Ls for Bayer, LMAO.

club doesn't look same sans Wirtz.

Great to see Moukoko and Adeyemi showing to be diff maker vs one of better 1BL clubs and one who usuall make MIN Europe.

 

Are you all satisfied with the quality of football we saw in Dortmund-Leverkusen match?
Leverkusen were too physical which is so unlike Leverkusen

Kobel saved Dortmund
Tah was pretty good though bit at fault for the goal

 

recall when one said Hoppe and Sargent were best young CFs in 1BL. LMAO, LULZ, LOL.

hope that person enjoys watching Championship.

Middlesbrough and Mallorca have reached a deal for USMNT forward Matthew Hoppe, I’m told. Traveling for medical tomorrow to complete the move.

why can't Germany produce average CFs like them?

 

Modeste looks likeliest to be the striker that Dortmund are on the verge of signing

Still early days in the 2BL but Kaiserslautern coming out the gates fairly well and about to beat St Pauli today, one of last seasons near promotion candidates. Although I don't necessarily expect them to keep this pace going and well eventually sink back down later on

On the opposite end, Bielefeld and Fuerth still need to find their footing again since getting relegated. While Hannover continue to look weak
