Düsseldorf still have more goals scored.What the heck is going on in the 2nd division. 3:2 and 4:0 score lines after 40 minutes...
Suddenly Schalke are deep into relegation worries again, with three teams behind them pulling off wins.
And Karlsruhe (huge club) can now claim to have the best attack, probably not something people were expecting to see.
I guess the only ones who care about this are the Bayern fans who still hold a grudge. Even Hasenhüttl, while far from a bad choice on paper, is hardly exciting.
Oh right, I must have been blind.
Well both Hertha and Schalke are comically bad at defending which made for a pretty entertaining match.What the heck is going on in the 2nd division. 3:2 and 4:0 score lines after 40 minutes...
I am trying to ignore the league since I don't want to jinx Pauli...What the heck is going on in the 2nd division. 3:2 and 4:0 score lines after 40 minutes...

It’s only human to forget that Düsseldorf exists. We all want it to be true.I guess the only ones who care about this are the Bayern fans who still hold a grudge. Even Hasenhüttl, while far from a bad choice on paper, is hardly exciting.
Schalke's away form is truly special:
Closing in on 3 GA on average.
Oh right, I must have been blind.
I'm still fairly confident that they'll win enough points to stay in at home and they also have their last two away games against Osnabrück and Fürth.

Eh, could be much worse. Could be Cologne. Or one of, like, a dozen fugly Ruhrpott cities.
Gonna be interesting to see if he can right the ship. Kinda doubt it, Hasenhüttl hasn't impressed me much so far. Southampton was thoroughly unimpressive under him, as has been Leiptsch when he was in charge, and he's been out of a job for a year and half now.
And then he scored a pen? Every. Time. Player should be sent off, then scores.
Yeah that was pretty on the nose. Read somewhere that Bayern supporters everywhere were relieved when he was not sent off. I tend to agree
I would love to see him in a punditry role but I'm not sure he'd be into that
Germany could do worse....?
Pretty sure he would absolutely hate that
I fear that as well but who knows, maybe he becomes bored in retirementPretty sure he would absolutely hate that
I sort of agree with this I think Germany at home are serious threat in the Euros and most idiots have already written them off.
Depends what you define as "spanish" but the spanish national team itself hasnt really been succesful in recent tournaments.Just read the SZ interview with Gündogan and I'm not really sure what to make out of it. Asked whether a Gündogan - Kroos midfield would make the playstyle more "Spanish", he said that they aren't there to bring a Spanish tune to the national team. IMO, Germany should definitely become more Spanish and there is no logical reason not to as almost every successful team plays in such a way and the best players Nagelsmann has available all play in such systems as well.
If Nagelsmann has Germany play the same 'head through the wall' approach he introduced at Bayern, we could be in for a disaster class.
I fear that as well but who knows, maybe he becomes bored in retirement
I didn't read the article, but the way you have put it in your post, it sounds like Gündogan might just be giving a diplomatic response. Something like 'no, we don't aspire to be like Spain' - as I suppose the opposite ('Germany should be more like Spain!') wouldn't land well with everyone. But maybe that's just because of the way you've written it here.
I'm fairly certain that you're right: giving a positive answer to this would have been a huge blunder that could have followed the team around for the entire summer. How easy is it to imagine some pundit saying stuff like: "they want to play like Spain, but they forgot they are actually Germany" or some other lazy reference. It's also not Gündogan's place to make such statements in public, it's up to his coach to explain what direction he wants to take tactically and who may be his inspiration.
The relationship between Adidas and DFB was always suspiciously close for a nonprofit and global corporation. To the extend that I remember reading reports of them turning down much more lucrative offers from competitors.

The usual next step would be to make Fährmann first choice keeper again
Considering the kind of goals they conceded against Hertha that's probably only one or two defeats away.The usual next step would be to make Fährmann first choice keeper again
Musiala should come to Leverkusen so e can see them together week in week outMusiala and Wirtz in one team
lets be fair. both teams were utter garbage s04 managed to be just even worse.
They conceded that one goal where Müller miscalculated a cross and left his goal open and another with a near-post shot, that looked a little too easy as well. So it wouldn't be the craziest thing in the world to see a change in goal, if Müller keeps making mistakes.
Schalke were a mess long before that. They just didn't get punished, because there wasn't as much competition (Dortmund, Leipzig) earlier and their academy kept producing top players with some consistency for a while.It was Müllers first game with mistakes that lead to Goals. Its normal for Keepers to make mistakes. there wont be any discussion about him since Fährmann sadly isnt an option anymore.
im not only blaming the Guys who took over. after Assauer got mobbed out by Tönnies and his Gang everything went more or less OK until Tönnies decided "lets gamble on the future" kicked out Heldt for Heidel who kicked Breitenreiter to pay like 5million for Weinzierl (lol) then proceed to spend about 170 Million of which he wasted 140.... just insane. But then came 19/20 look at the first half under David Wagner. they played good counter pressing football and got 30 Points. beat Gladbach for the restart and didnt win a single Bundesliga game anymore after. anyone with literally 5 working braincells would have kicked Wagner at the End and replaced half the team with new Players. pretty much nothing happened and you know the result
i dont even wanna start on how stupid you have to be to not buy Itakura to sell him for more later or getting Kramer as a coach. or not wanting Rangnick who could have transformed the club.
it just hurts to see this
Don't be dramatic.. It's three points in Braunschweig and a bunch of clubs in between, Schalke can probably even afford to mess up one more game.
