that the Cup has its own laws, can not hear no one actually. But somehow it's true! The two winners of the Bundesliga flying times just to unterklassige opponent out : Mainz is unceremoniously in Aachen (10 of the Second Division) and the currently outstanding BVB blew even his penalty shoot-out against third division Offenbach (Photo: Reuters). Also, Freiburg, after all, currently in top form for years and in the league to seventh place in Cottbus gets a swatter. Does this mean for the strength of the lower leagues or the marks of the stars? Another issue: I write so rarely and only reluctantly about refereeing. Most of the referees must anyway serve merely as excuses for unpleasant defeats. But what happened on Tuesday at Bayern and Werder - I was already more than annoyed . As with the score at 1-1 Prödl makes a perfect headed goal and it is simply withdrawn Sun Foul said. But even after 37 slow motion is nothing to see it. Can not be! Game, tactics, and end result be simply turned on its head! (OK, a little bit I look at the course already by my green-white spectacle ...)
Cup weekend, the loser then also have the opportunity to reconcile their fans again. Mainz and Dortmund, these two incredible surprise teams with their sympathetic coaches Tuchel and Klopp, meet in the absolute top game. First against second, predecessor to successor, master to apprentice. These stories only writes the Bundesliga. Schalke Leverkusen receives the crisis. Magath's troops actually on the mountain? I fear not. The FSV Frankfurt 1-0 in the Cup was anything but sovereign. The Bavarians are hosts to the Freiburg and the Clippers Cissé (8 goals). As a surprise is in the air. Werder licks wounds against Nuremberg, the HSV does the same in Cologne.
goals, excitement and desire victory
