Dortmund - Real Madrid 1-2

Olympiacos - Fiorentina 1-2

Another legend, at least he had a longer life than some of the other legends who died recently (especially Brehme). RiP

Finland misses some NHL stars like Roope Hintz and Sebastian Aho. It's the best moment to face them. Normally they are a lot better. I saw articles about it before the WC already. Would still be a good improvement for Austria, no doubt. Switzerland are in a very good position because all of their NH...

Germany have a 45% success rate in powerplays at the WC (leading all teams in that stat). Incredible number. Oilers won 3:2 and Edmonton, Alberta (outside Calgary) in a hockey fever pitch!!! Among the remaining 4 teams Oilers the only Canadians. :up: :applause: From a German point of view it's about...

Salzburg in the EL would be better for Austria's ranking, I guess. They could bottle the CL qualification like in good old times. Salzburg not qualifying for CL through champions path is certainly "bottling" it. Salzburg not qualifying for CL through league path would be very much "u...

How about Alemannia Aachen? Not exactly a historic Bundesliga club, but I still remember them getting out of a UEFA Cup group as a 2nd division team, the madness. One of the few times the "cup runner-up spot" didn't go to waste. Is there any hope of them getting out of Regionalliga any ti...

No OM in UEFA competitions is very unusual. Lyon on the other hand made it back to Europe after a terrible first half of the season. Reminds me of Dortmund in Klopp's farewell season 2014/2015. Almost at the bottom of the table and in the 2nd half they made it to the EL and also to the cup final (wh...

That's great to know! Though the part about them being rivals to St Pauli doesn't bode well for their current situation. They might as well throw the game vs Wehen. It's a coin toss whether a club will care about being division champion after it has achieved promotion. St. Pauli surprisingly won th...

So many stories. - Reus, born in Dortmund, scored in his last game for BVB at home - Leverkusen did it, unbeaten in the whole Bundesliga season (and maybe for all games in general), incredible - Hoffenheim beat Bayern (I expected it), but thank goodness Eintracht got this important point against Lei...

Meanwhile Germany have almost secured their spot in the KO stages with an amazing 8-1 over Latvia. That's if we assume that two wins in regular times in the remaining three matches (France, Kazahkstan and Poland) can be taken for granted. Another 8-goal win. This time it was an 8:2 against Kazakhst...
