Well we have our ARD game of the week, they'll be salivating over Bayern and Hamburg. Another cup game I won't be watching... Now that my Royal Blues are out, I'm hoping Braunschweig or Duisburg takes it!
Third Round Results [R] Your final eight (please don't read it if you don't want to know; i.e., results implied): Gladbach Duisburg Hoffenheim Aachen Fuerth Luebeck Bremen Bayern Just three 1.BL teams left. Four 2.BL teams and 1 RL team fill out the field. We'll see how the draw plays out, but Bayern and Bremen are now huge favorites for the finals (fill in Gladbach for one of those two if Bayern and Bremen are drawn against each other).
