The strangest thing happened today, I met a group of about five Dutch lads today and none of them appeared to speak any German. How is that possible @KirkDuyt I always assumed you guys knew your place? And to add insult to injury they were even rewarded with a Dutch R9 masterclass for it. There's no justice in this world.
Great to see Morey make a comeback. Seemed a genuine long term option at RB for Dortmund before that horrid injury period. Hope he can return back to form.
It's Glyphosate or Gladiolus tonight
You gotta be smart about this, and buy him now, before he becomes unaffordable in the summer window. Cheeky straight swap bid?
A Malen brace, that's some Mayan Calendar-end of the world type of s...tuff right there, I'm terrified, and you're here cracking jokes, feck this
Es ist unglaublich, dass diese jungen Randalierer kein Deutsch mehr sprechen. Sind wir nicht von deutschem Blut?!
my grammar is rusty, this might be wrong.
Malen seems to have found his form again though. How's Simons doing?
Good game at halve 5. Top vs 2nd
So, so wrong, but the grammar is perfect

What is happening in Germany? 2 games interrupted.
Little bit of chaos. Some fans are protesting.
Been protests every week in most games for a while now, usually in the form of chocolate coins being thrown onto the field.
- 24 of the 36 clubs from the Bundesliga and 2 Bundesliga back plan
- German Football League (DFL) is proposing to sell an eight per cent share of its TV and marketing rights in a 20-year agreement
- New marketing company to be established
- Deal expected to be worth between €800 million (US$863 million) and €1 billion (US$1.1 billion)
The gist of it.
Wow, does Tuchel copy Leverkusens system?
Neuer – Upamecano, Minjae, Goretzka, Kane, Sané, Dier, Boey, Mazraoui, Musiala, Pavlović
Looks like a 3-4-2-1 for me.

So this like your version of the CVC deal?
Not that familiar with the la liga CVC deal, but fans are worried that this will in the end screw over the fans going to the stadiums and watching at home in terms of increased costs down the line.
Best way to neutralise a back 3 is to play with a back 3. Smart move by Tuchel
Probably but Leverkusen seems to play in a 4-4-2 today
Think Bayern will win to go top.
I'm not familiar with how La Liga use the money, but yes, at least in a broad sense, that's what it is.
As far as the protests go:
On one hand there's a tendency of organized fans to reject anything going into this direction out of principle.
But beyond that there have been some issues with this deal, that lend credibility to these protests. I think even among the "unorganized" stadium goers the protests have quite a bit of approval, at least as long as they don't overdo it, e.g. by pushing games to the brink of cancellation.
These issues mainly center around communication, the DFL sought approval without going into a lot of specifics about what they intended to do with the money.
And the process itself has also been a bit of a mess. The DFL gave themselves the burden of having to reach a qualified majority for approval and they already failed that once in an earlier attempt a couple of months ago.
This time they just made it to two thirds with their second attempt. But they did so in a secret ballot and public statements from club officials about what way they voted suggest that one of the necessary votes came from Hannover96.
And that is anther can of worms initself, since they were represented by their owner, Martin Kind, who is very much at odds with the club he owns, in particular on this issue.
50+1 (and some laws, I guess) mandate that he should have acted in accordance with the club's position, which would have meant voting down the proposal.
So far they've just hidden behind the fact that it was a secret vote, so no one can tell for sure who voted what way, but that's a bit of a lazy excuse and the implied disrespect to 50+1 makes it especially aggravating for organized fans.
Seems way too defensive for my liking.
More a 4231 I think. So Bayern are playing Leverkusens usual system and vice versa? Could be interesting.Probably but Leverkusen seems to play in a 4-4-2 today
Feels like Tuchel will try to do to Leverkusen what he did to Stuttgart recently. Park the bus and counter attack, and not try to dominate possession.
Müller blanking all the kiddywinks looking for a high 5. Hope Bayern get tonked.
BAAAAYEEEEERN
It hasn't kicked off yet. Thought they had scored.
What is it with Germans chucking items on the pitch? Wolfsburg game almost got abandoned because of it.
Protesting against a planned investor deal for the league. The voting about it was dubious as it looks like at least one club official didn't vote as decided by his club before... (yes, my club... again... I just hate this clusterf***)
It's a protest against selling part of the league's revenue to an investor.
Ye didn’t realise was a protest.
Fair enough.
strange kind of player, too good at playing football to leave him out, but on the pitch, no one knew what to do with him, not a #9, not a #10, not an #8, not a winger. Bit like
Espn+ steam is fecked up
Was this ever officially confirmed? I thought Kind just said something like "Secret vote, LOL".
I know this is an unpopular take, but some of these organised fan groups take them themselves way too seriously.
If you want to watch „pure football“, don’t watch professional sports.

Well, that's why I said "it looks like" and not "exactly this happened"
Right, I misread your post.
Actually, these current protests have started talks about re-thinking that investor deal. Previous fan group protests have had significant impact as well, most of those positive for those supporters who dont want to pay more to watch a game on the telly than i do for my stadium seat.
Typical that De Ligt and Frimpong aren't playing when they've been linked with moves to United
I didn't know Timothy Fosu-Mensah was in Germany at Leverkusen.

Bundesliga's marketing / self image is mostly about being authentic and fan friendly. Having influential fans that make their voices heard goes with the territory.
