Fußball-Bundesliga

[Bundesbiers]

Several upsets today

1860 Munich beating Mainz .... Erzgebirge beating Eintracht Frankfurt .... Unterhaching taking down RB Leipzig

Fun stuff

I rather enjoyed seeing Red Bull lose.

Looks like we have a Bundesliga kit reveal from the 70's.

Why's that?

Why's that?

I'm 100% against modern football, and the way Red Bull has broken the rules to get where they are today makes me want to puke. It's not tradition and they have no tradition.

Ah, that makes sense

A couple more surprises today in the DFB Pokal....

Werder over Koln I didn't expect (Sorry Bundesbiers), and Monchengladbach continue their tear by knocking Schalke out.

OK, the Bayern game is starting. Let the whining beging.

There's a shocker.

How bad is this? I slept through the whole match! I woke up only in the 91st minute to see Frankfurt celebrating like they won the Bundesliga title. I thought; "Wow, is Bayern getting beat?" But no........

You did not miss anything, sloppy game of your Bazis.

Good I fell asleep then. Spent the day working on too many "Honey do" things, like raking leaves, etc.

I think "sloppy" is a little harsh.

Maybe "uninspired" or "bored" would be better.

 

[Itkovian]

Frankfurt played their best game of the season, and Bayern did not, so there are your results.

Credit to Frankfurt for playing a good game, have to acknowledge though that Pep was resting players. Muller, Alaba, Thiago....none saw the field for the first half, and a portion of the second.

Hopefully this will stop the "bayern has already won the title" madness.

lol poor Lahm. I do think this sums it up well.

“Every week we think it can’t get more defensive and then comes a team that plays even more defensive,” Bayern’s captain, Philipp Lahm, said. “I think Frankfurt played a 6-3-1 tonight. But if we had used our chances and scored, we would be sitting here saying how much fun it was.”

 

[Bundesbiers]

Typical excuses. Frankfurt did NOT play their best game of the season last night. Frankfurt put up 6 goals against my team and none against Bayern. Clearly, Bayern's best game of the season was against Koeln....

They rarely created any goal chances so you may be right, "uninspired" is the better word for their performance yesterday.
But regarding the few chances they had I still think they were sloppy. Just think of the Lewandowski chance five minutes before the final whistle.
However, we all knew that Bayern isn't going to win every game of the season.

I thought EVERYONE's best game of the season was against Koeln.

That is cruel.........Funny, but cruel .

Btw- just bought myself tickets for the HSV game at Volkswagen. I wonder if this has been a good idea?

 

[Croak]

Sure looked like a dive in that penalty against HSV. But the HSV defense also need to get their heads in the game.

Stupid tackly by Spahic, regardless of the fact if the Hannover player did dive or not.
Game could have been won until halftime, we had enough chances. One step forward and one step back the next game. Thats my team, thats HSV

Darmstadt at home for the next DFB Pokal round? Yes please

 

[mhnessie]

Had the opportunity now to watch a game summary and must say that the refs were helpful for H96 again.
The penalty for them wasn't one although I still think the tackle was stupid. And a handball in the box and the foul three minutes before the final whistle where both clear penalties but not given.
Despite of these bad calls we had enough chances to win the game, it's our own fault and a little bit of bad luck when thinking of the freekick of Diaz that hit the post.
