German football season 2023/24

[Wee Baby Seamus]

During his first stint with Dortmund I talked a lot of s*** about Sancho being a product of Haaland, who thought he was better than he was...but he's just been fantastic for BVB of late. Wonderful opener in the war for 4th.

WTF? How was Simons not offsides in the build up to that equalizer?

EDIT:
Oh s*** Ryersen on the far side did play Xavi just onsides, not even a half step between the equalizer and no-goal. Great catch by the VAR.

what

Sancho had 12+14 and was TOTS in the BuLi the year before Haaland arrived

he was already at 9+10 by the time Haaland arrived in Jan 20

TM has it as 12+18 actually (I was definitely unreasonable), but that wasn't the 17+17 in 200 fewer minutes that had some calling Sancho the best player in the BuLi...plus watch a compilation of his assists after Haaland arrived. A lot of those were balls I could've hit that Erling just did something incredible with

Just looked at Bayern's lineup...Sane, Coman, and Gnabry are all out, and TT still refuses to start Tel; Müller, Raphael, and ECMC started over the young frenchman

If they don't want to play him, we'll take him & Mouki to be our starting forward partnership next season

This is why I was dubious including Hummels in pre-liminary rosters for the EM despite how well he was playing earlier in the season. He's just looked gassed in recent weeks, and this happened last year as well. BVB needs to rotate him a lot more than they've been able to do if they want to keep him fresh through a whole season at this age.

EDIT:
Oh Ryersen, that movement deserved to result in the 2-3.

PSG must be licking their lips watching this Dortmund performance. They've been much worse than the league this season than the CL, but this match is highlighting weaknesses that PSG should be perfectly armed to exploit.

Augsburg saw Hoffenheim's result and went full hold my beer in the one game they have left on their schedule that they were favored in

Dortmund has looked like shit in just about every game against other top BuLi team this season. Funnily enough their only win against a top 4 team was Bayern away, which probably highlights Bayern's struggles this season.

Guirassy with a huge, uncharacteristic miss. Leverkusen's luck goes on.

Game's quite boring though, some bad executions and an overall lack of intensity. I get it from Bayer's side but I expected Stuttgart to come out stronger.

Which is why their focus & discipline in the CL this season has been so incredibly baffling

With it looking more and more certain that the BuLi will get that 5th CL spot, neither team really has anything to play for other than Bayer's undefeated run.

Stuttgart started this game 6pts ahead of Dortmund with 3 games left, so they should be good even if the BuLi f***s up that 5th CL spot, and they were 18pts ahead of 6th place Frankfurt.

Bragging rights of finishing above local rivals Bayern?

They'd have to beat Leverkusen and Bayern in back to back weeks just to draw level, but even if they took advantage of FCB being distracted by the CL and drew level with them on pts, their GD is currently 19 goals worse.

So not impossible if Bayern dropped one of their final two, but like falling behind Dortmund, it's super unlikely.

Ok you've just convinced me to not watch the second half haha

Cut to the 2nd half turning into an absolute barn burner

Führich - 47th minute

Undefeated watch is back on

2-0. But I've seen this flick before...

Adli makes it 2-1 with Boniface & Wirtz getting ready to come on…

To be fair that wasn't really the case in the Atletico draw. They only really scored off of Dortmund mistakes and should've capitalized from at least a couple more mistakes if we're honest. Luckily Morata hasn't felt like scoring too many goals lately, lol.

[Jack Straw]

what did I just see?????????

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Dude...no way. Game should have been over.

 

[Jack Straw]

This has gone beyond amazing and is now in the realm of the completely absurd.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Whatever pact they made with the football gods for this season, I'm not going to be surprised in a few years when they are back to back to back relegated and spend the following 20 years toiling around the regionalliga, lol.

I have never been a religious person, but this season's Bayer Leverkusen is tempting me to start believing in a higher power more than anything in my life before.

Same here. It almost makes you think that someone up there is pulling strings, maybe just to have a little fun, but this just doesn't seem normal.

Next friday will be good.
HSV vs. St.Pauli

St.Pauli can destroy Hamburg's promotion dreams and secure direct promotion with a win.

Oh, the drama.
