Re: German Football 2023-24

https://i.ibb.co/8gc8WWr/043.png https://i.ibb.co/p21F8cY/452.png Final Bundesliga matchday incoming. The most interesting part is of course the fight against relegation. Köln are back in the game, but it's still very difficult. They need lets say a 2-0 in Heidenheim plus a Freiburg win with two go...

Re: German Football 2023-24

No one here would suspect you of being a commie just because you like former DDR clubs, it's even the opposite, most fan scenes in the East are politically incorrect, patriotic, against Western "values". Especially Hansa Rostock whose fans have a deep political rivalry with St. Pauli, sam...

Re: Euro 2024 Group A: Germany - Scotland - Hungary - Switzerland

Why do they need 4 goalkeepers? I've yet to see the third goalkeepers getting any time on the pitch in a major tournament. Netherlands used 3 at the 2014 World Cup. Cillesen was the main keeper, Krul came on in the QF for the penalties and then Vorm played in the bronze medal match. Ok, but they di...

Re: Battle for important ranking positions 2024-25

It is too early to make any predictions until the qualifiers are played. What can be commented on is only the Top 5 leagues, which will surely have at least 5 or 6 or 7 clubs in the LP. Italy is again the main favorite, regardless of whether they played with 7, 8, 9 or 10 clubs. Simply put, Serie A...

Re: Italian football season 2023/24

I didn't like it either, now they are even more greedy and hungry in the EL final. And unlike Atalanta, Juve won enough titles already. Now as a German I hope they also lose the EL final, but then they can win everything in Italy in the new season. Heard some Eintracht ultras were there.

Re: German Football 2023-24

As the only former Eastern German club in the Bundesliga (not that I'm a commie) for quite a while when I started watching, I have a little soft spot for Hansa Rostock. No one here would suspect you of being a commie just because you like former DDR clubs, it's even the opposite, most fan scenes in...

Re: German Football 2023-24

Holstein Kiel are promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time in club history. Funfact 1: Holstein played on level 1 of the German league pyramide all along from 1903 to 1963 before Bundesliga was founded, even winning the German title in 1912. Funfact 2: Holstein will be the northernmost team ev...

Re: 2023/24 Europa League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

Hoping for a Dortmund and Leverkusen win in the finals, I have German friends and former prominent Celtic players have history with both teams so I have a wee soft spot for them. Hopefully that's Germany's glory for the year tho and Scotland put them in their place in June 😂 hoping for an Olympiako...

Re: 2023/24 Europa League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

This is what, like the 6th time it's happened in the last 1.5 months? Don't get me wrong, I like Leverkusen, but this looks almost scripted. Not possible to script this, or at least to realize it on the pitch. This time it wasn't surprising. Leverkusen was pushing hard after the 0-2, it was only a ...

Re: German Football 2023-24

Fantastic European season for the Bundesliga and German football. :applause: One CL finalist, one finalist in the EL. And Bayern is not even involved. Hopefully we can grab at least one trophy. UEFA Supercup Leverkusen vs Dortmund would be unreal.

Re: 2023/24 Conference League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

Congrats Olympiacos and good luck in the final. Never thought this is possible when they lost 0-5 in Freiburg. But changing a coach can do wonders.

Re: 2023/24 Europa League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

Losing this game would have been so undeserved, even if a 1-2 would have been enough. They saved their unbeaten streak and it looks much better than qualifying with a defeat.

Leverkusen vs Atalanta :applause:

True, but Roma have 3, 4 players like that. :wink: Paredes in the first place.
