Beautiful goal from Burkardt to reclaim the lead for Mainz against a 10-man BVB

Emre Can, my captain.

Yeah I tuned in right after they showed the last replay so just saw that during the halftime show. What an idiotic tackle.

Kabar looks physically ready to play against men. It’s just a question of experience & learning the mental side of senior football. His potential is through the roof with his physical gifts, combativeness, & skill.

How is Tim Oermann looking against Leverkusen?
Don’t know who that is but in general Bochum have looked ok. Better than I would have expected, I was hoping this would be a relatively easy 3 points but Bochum are putting up a fight.

And just as I type that they equalize.

#$%^%$#~!

Gladbach unlucky to not be ahead after 45minutes.

…I’m still salty they stole Kleindienst & Stöger from us…

Young CB for Bochum (#14)

Crap game from Bayern at St Pauli but they get 3 points and have 6 ahead of Leipzig now

Other contenders dropped points (well, Frankfurt play tomorrow), so it was still a good result for them. Maybe Kane finally wins something this season, no-one outside of Bayern seems capable.

It was to be expected that Leverkusen won't have a season like last year, but Leipzig has been disappointing (moreso in Europe) even if they're second. If they're eliminated early in Europe, maybe they can make a push for the title in the spring.

Crazy stat I've just found out today, I know he's a defensive midfielder but Atakan Karazor has never scored in his Bundesliga career (115 games). He's 28 years old, I wonder if he ends his career without a goal in the top league (he has 4 in Zweite and 1 in the Cup)

Beautiful game, unsurprisingly, so far between Stuttgart and Frankfurt. Eintracht tried sitting back and giving Stuttgart the ball, but changed their mind when Stuttgart had and missed a penalty haha. Love watching Ekitike but worried for his safety every time I see those spaghetti legs, Vagnoman almost killed him with a tackle earlier haha

Frankfurt get ahead after another nice combo between Ekitike and Marmoush

Millot was invisible for Stuttgart and I'm not sure about that French center back they have, Rouault (sp?) seems overmatched every time I watch him.

Marmoush had another good match, that freekick goal was beautiful. When Frankfurt led 3-0 who would have thought that Stuttgart can make a comeback like that. Well, the tying goal was disallowed, but still. That missed Demirovic penalty was poorly taken, too.

Now it certainly looks like Stuttgart can't challenge for the title this season.

Ultimately we fell short against spain after not getting a pen we probably should've, again...but with the last international break behind us, this was a really positive year for the NT. The senior team's only loss was that match against Spain, taking the NL seriously for the first time in our history, as Nagelsmann has been building a really strong squad around our duo of BdO caliber maestros.

I still feel like we need to integrate Pavlovic or Stiller into the starting 11 before the WM, but Andrich has really settled in well. It all makes sense the way his game has progressed but I would never have predicted this when he left us for the pillpushers. Plus moving Kimmich to RB and Mittelstädt's evolution have really solidified the back 4.

The U21s had a much more disappointing Euros as Mouki got hurt and some of the other top talents weren't part of that squad, but have been rolling since then with a bunch of kids who have already warranted senior team looks...Mouki, Beier, Adeyemi, Gruda, Wanner...with rapidly improving depth further back down the pitch...including two young keepers already starting for the clubs.

U19s have been more up and down but as the generation who won the euros & WM at the U17 level has hit the U19s that team is also loaded with kids that have the talent to not just play for the senior team, but star for it if their development continues to go well...Darvich, Ouedraogo, Brunner, Moerstedt, Kabar, Moreira, Jeltsch. So there should be further reinforcements on the way after North America.

A cousin of mine lives in Ehingen and is a fan of Ulm, he told me to remember the name Maurice Krattenmacher, he said the kid's technique make him looks Brazilian, and he's not a name I remember you mentioning.

With a name like that, hopefully he makes the box often. Also, taken from his birth place, he probably purchases bad AI-bling.

He’s a good talent too, but he’s not as gifted as wanner or bischof from that same age group so gets a little lost in the shuffle…like El Mala & Dardai from the Darvich / Ouedraogo / Brunner generation.

He scored a lot for unterhaching’s youth teams before getting sold and starting his own loan odyssey

Damn Football Manager delaying their new release, I thought he was still with Unterhaching.

Bayern bought him back this past summer, before loaning him out.
