German Football 2024/2025

[Jack Straw]

I think we’re going to be saved by VAR again. Looks offside

Or not

 

[cgf]

Gladbach deserve this one

 

[cgf]

Leverkusen have really responded well to the goal

 

[cgf]

Stöger to Kleindienst…for gladbach *sigh*

Great defending by Netz there to keep that away from Frimpong

 

[Jack Straw]

Wow

 

[gary69]

Wow, another late Leverkusen goal incoming?

Wirtz misses the PK, but scores from the rebound. Deja vu at 101 mins.

 

[Jack Straw]

Laterkusen rides again

 

[cgf]

Leverkusen’s last second goals are becoming blasé.

 

[Jack Straw]

Leverkusen’s last second goals are becoming blasé.

It’s aging me prematurely. And I wasn’t young to start with.

 

[S E P H]

M'Gladbach fans pretty much lost them that game, LOL. Without the flares, Leverkusen wouldn't have had an extra ten minutes to score. Goofs.

 

[PanniniClaus]

That was a fine football match.

 

[cgf]

Starting Tousart over Benes is...a choice...

 

[cgf]

Holy stuttgart. Stiller at CB and Millot next to Karazor? Stop looking at forwards and buy another freaking CB lol.

 

[Chimaera]

they won't listen...

 

[cgf]

they won't listen...

I mean it would be really cool for the NT if Stiller could at least play in a back 3…Nico-Rudi/Tah/Thiaw-Stiller looks very interesting…but that’s asking a lot of a kid who’s more of a Schweini knock off than a true holding midfielder.

 

[cgf]

Benes makes his BuLi debut for 1.FCU with a bang

 

[JoVel]

I get that Sahin wants to make Beier's life easier by letting him come on as a sub at first, but surely you gotta start him if the alternative is to play Adeyemi at #9.

 

[gary69]

Sub Gittens finally puts Dortmund ahead, nice side step and shot near the back corner.

And scores his 2nd in the last minute of added time.

 

[KlausJopling]

Bensebaini deserves an assist for that tackle

 

[JoVel]

Bensebaini bailed out Schlotterbeck to set up Gittens for the second goal. @Power Man will like that

 

[gary69]

Leipzig just about wins 1-0 at home against Bochum, who must be amongst teams predicted for relegation.

Sub Nusa scores the winner, after the ball fell to him from Sesko and Xavi Simons manouvers.

Late scare for Leipzig as Orban was sent off as the last man bringing down an opponent, who would have otherwise been through on goal. Not a hard tackle, rather just a trip, looked trying even to play the ball, but was just too slow and only catched opponent's leg.

 

[Power Man]

Bensebaini bailed out Schlotterbeck to set up Gittens for the second goal. @Power Man will like that

I do

Gittens’s first goal though

 

[Bon Esprit]

Christoph Daum passed away after a long battle against cancer. Willi Lemke a couple of weeks ago.
I kinda liked both at some point, because they were arch-enemies of Uli "I am always right" Hoeness.


A legend.

 

[cgf]

Finn Jeltsch continues to impress. After a strong campaign with the U17s he's made the jump to senior football very well so far.

 

[cgf]

Schlotterbeck - Chabot would be my NT CB pairing, but Jeltsch is really smooth at the BuLi2 level already and on his current trajectory could be a NT factor as soon as the WM ends.

A year ago the kid was a U17 european champion getting ready to become a U17 world champion, now he's elegantly cutting out dangerous chances against a team that played in the top flight last season.

Kid has good mobility, plenty size & potential on the ball, he reads the play well, and he's made some great challenges to clean up for his more experienced team-mates. He looks better than Thiaw did for Schalke at this level, despite being even younger than Thiaw was.

...and I still like Thiaw a lot; Chabot is just such a monster in the air and a real rock against the ball who should complement Schlotterbeck beautifully.
