Jep. Carnival starts on Friday too. That’s got a little bit to do with it all, as well as being a derby.

Good result for Xabi. Doing well so far.

mobydick · « **Reply #17123 on:** November 9, 2022, 07:31:05 pm »

Bayer can, and should be able to play better. They let Effzeh play and gave the ball away far too often. Good win though for B04. My lad just sent a few videos from the closing sing-song after the win.

Some game in the Bundesliga tonight. Schalke 04 - Mainz 05.

'SC Freiburg fans boycotted the away game against Leipzig and instead decided to go to their old ground "Dreisamstadion" to support their club's 2nd team for the 3. Liga game against 1860 München - both home and away fans joined together for a "Scheiss Red Bull" chant':-

Great fans - from both clubs!

Freiburg is one of the most wonderful clubs in football, in every way possible. They are a club and fanbase that is all that is good about football. I watch a lot of their games as my husband supports them, and they are also a decent watch a lot of the time! A well coached, hard working team that plays as a team and will always try and attack.

That's the problem when it comes to picking a German side to get behind... so many clubs have quality fans to admire and respect. Not a bad 'problem' to have!

A general sentiment shared across Germany. Was delighted to see the Qatar protests too at the weekend. Still affordable to go to games and top quality football to boot too.

The Germans eh, they seem to have this football thing nailed don't they? As we are all very aware.

They still have issues. Ultras being one of them...

Dave McCoy · « **Reply #17130 on:** November 11, 2022, 07:40:33 pm »

So was it ever answered definitively if Germans actually talk like Derek Rae talks? I can’t believe they do.

Monchengladbach all over Dortmund so far.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #17131 on:** November 11, 2022, 07:52:03 pm »

That Dortmund goal was phenomenal. The pass, the touch, the finish on the turn. Sensational.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #17132 on:** November 11, 2022, 07:52:06 pm »

Really good finish from Julian Brandt. Lovely pass by Bellingham.

BVB woke up.

Bread · « **Reply #17133 on:** November 11, 2022, 07:52:27 pm »

Bellingham with a worldy of an assist.

That'll be another €5 million.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #17134 on:** November 11, 2022, 07:58:58 pm »

Gladbach back ahead, Bensebaini with a great header.

Bellingham taking a couple million off with some not so good marking

Dim Glas · « **Reply #17135 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:02:39 pm »

Marcus Thuram’s having himself a season so far. 10 goals now.

3-1 Gladbach.

Although it looked like the ball went out of play, weird. Looks like the goal will stand though. And no one seemed to complain!

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #17136 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:03:36 pm »

Dortmund are so open. It’s like the midfield doesn’t exist.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #17137 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:06:12 pm »

What a great block from Bensebaini there, looked a sure goal for Reyna.

Theoldkopite · « **Reply #17138 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:09:55 pm »

Cracking game this. Neither of them can defend very well though!

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #17139 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:12:04 pm »

Best game I’ve seen in Germany for ages. Hilarious defending mixed in with some genuine quality.

Dave McCoy · « **Reply #17140 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:12:28 pm »

These teams just aren’t very good. Makes it a decent watch at least.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #17141 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:12:31 pm »

Schlotterbeck!

3-2.

Mad game, but also sort of typical. Great fun.

The defence in this

Dim Glas · « **Reply #17143 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:23:32 pm »

Gladbach with 4 shots, all of them on target

BVB with 13 shots that half.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #17144 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:37:05 pm »

took about 5 seconds.

4-2.

Kone with the goal.

skipper757 · « **Reply #17145 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:38:48 pm »

And Kone's price tag goes up. Nice finish.

Bread · « **Reply #17146 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:42:43 pm »

This might be one of the best games I've ever seen live. Can't take your eyes off it.

Dave McCoy · « **Reply #17147 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:42:56 pm »

Comical defending all game long.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #17148 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:43:05 pm »

Lucky it’s not five, Thuram just puts it wide. Hummels has been a wonderful player over the years, but his legs seem long gone this year.

skipper757 · « **Reply #17149 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:45:10 pm »

One run, one ball splits the CBs. Too easy.

Now BVB can't get out. They're lucky it's still 4-2.

The other CB was right there as well. They’re both having a bad night.

Also the game just reminds me of what I’ve thought in Bellingham in that he’s a wonderful attacking talent but he’s a kind of a nothing out there if he’s not attacking. Not sure he’d have really fixed any of our issues this year.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #17151 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:48:45 pm »

That finish from Manu Kone really was something else, like zero backlift, placed it perfectly.

And Marcus Thuram is giving BVB palpitations.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #17152 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:59:29 pm »

good grief BVB

Comedy that from Hummels, not helped by Sulé.

5-2.

Thuram sets up Hoffmann.

skipper757 · « **Reply #17153 on:** November 11, 2022, 08:59:30 pm »

Is Hummels going to retire mid-game?

This is a nightmare.

EDIT: VAR spares his blushes. Although there was some contact there.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #17154 on:** November 11, 2022, 09:01:03 pm »

Oh, 4-2 still

There was some contact, just a bit, from Thuram.

Yep, sad to see such a decline, but he’s an embarrassment to be honest.

Robinred · « **Reply #17156 on:** November 11, 2022, 09:08:28 pm »

Kinell, it’s a very long time since I’ve seen a ‘top’ European team so defensively abject - Hummels being subbed for everyone’s sake.

They don't. I can't clearly put my finger on what's wrong with what he does, but to a German speaker it just doesn't sound right. It's clearly an English-speaker trying his best to get the pronounciation right (especially with the vowels). On the one hand, he tries way too hard to get it to sound right like when he says "Friiiieeeedrich". Yes, the "ie" is just a long "i" in German, but no native-speaker would make it that long. On the other hand, he also clearly has some vowel-sounds that are English and not German like when he does the "o" in "Hofmann". I think he does it either further back in his mouth or his mouth is not open enough (or a bit of both) compared to a native German-speaker. Whatever it is, it's not a German "o" it's an English one...

Dim Glas · « **Reply #17158 on:** November 13, 2022, 04:51:53 pm »

What a 20 mins for Freiburg

3-0 up, Grifo hatty (2 penos) and Union down to 10 men.

The 2nd penalty was a copycat of the non penalty on Salah yesterday. But in this case - given, and the man sent off.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #17159 on:** November 13, 2022, 04:52:47 pm »

Break is coming at a good time for Union. Back to back towellings can quickly take it out of you.
