Excuse me, but did Switzerland win the World Cup? No? How well are they doing then?

At least so far it seems like this season might be more entertaining than the last. I approve, lets just hope that Bayern don't win this thing in the end. How amazing would Köln be as Meister?

There is no reason to root for Bayern, them winning the Meisterschaft would suck just as bad as RB winning it, albeit for different reasons.

RB will remain Tabellenführer because we will beat Bayern in today's game.

Pretty bizarre stuff. It's also a dumb rule that you can't correct such a mistake short of using up one of your three substitutions. In the end, it worked out all right.

The Schalke forums are pretty strange about this. A lot of people said that Bürki's absence would make Dortmund stronger, since Bürki is apparently a bad goalkeeper and Weidenfeller a lot better... :confused:

Also this. I'm truly sorry for you, Smirr. It's not as if it would have made a difference in the Meisterschaft, Bayern will win it anyway. But they did not deserve 5 minutes extra time, with the ref deciding to up this another minute! loving lol.

Why is every team except Bayern and the Rasenballs such trash this year in the Liga? Honestly, every team from Gladbach in 9. on needs to watch out to not slip up because if they go on a run of bad results they'll end up on the relegation spots. Only six points between Gladbach and HSV ffs.

RedBull lost to Dresden in the Pokal. It's a bit easier to play consistently when you are only playing at most one match per week. Dortmund have to play in three competitions and still manage to hold third place.

Please call them by their official name and don't use what that company wants you to say. :)

I don't buy that excuse of not being in the cup. Mainz, Darmstadt and Augsburg played one whole cup match more and look at them. Werder went out first round too. And they have the benefit of not just being promoted from 2.Liga.

Fair play for Dortmund being in three competitions bur seeing them win big in Cl one day and then mess about in the Liga the next match is annoying.

RoteBrause certainly has competent leadership (something other clubs desperately need, like the HSV or Schalke), they had a good start and got on a roll. They also did pretty well in getting good players.

Dortmund had to reorganize quite a bit after three top players left, and I'm not sure that all the under-20 players can yet cope with the Bundesliga, Pokal and Champions League. Reus getting injured (again!:argh:) doesn't help, he would have been extremely valuable against Hertha. I agree that it is frustrating to get these unnecessary losses in the Bundesliga, but there's no real difference between third and second place. Apart from wishing RoteBrause only the worst, they can have their Vizemeisterschaft for all I care, as long as Dortmund retain third place and play well in the Champions League and DFB-Pokal.
