QUOTE (LaPalma @ Feb 10 2008, 08:48 PM) They missed the Cl quali once or twice and then had a huge financial scandal in 2003. All their stars like Rosicky, Koller etc. had to be sold. Now they're just a mediocre team with huge debts, while Schalke did a good job recently and managed to build up a really good team under manager Andreas Müller and Coach Mirko Slomka (both were in the legendary "Eurofighter" team that defeated Inter in the Uefa Cup final 1997).  All I know about Schalke is that they've a huge deal with Gazprom. 25M/euros per year or so. Unbelievable. Much better than the Milan-bwin thing. |

Yap....secured their financial stability....and the get even more millions for titles. They've built up a pretty strong team in the last years. Their clash with Porto in the CL is a nice matchup...a test for them to see how good they really are. |

Schalkes defense is surely the best part of their team. Their attack is very very bad though (they rarely score....in years!). If Kuranyi will be out for one leg or our form Schalke won't have chance. So, in short...yes I think Porto's the slight favorite for this game. QUOTE Thanks, I did not know this.

I must be the only one currently online to be watching the Bundesliga this morning but the game's been interesting so far. It's halftime in the game between Frankfurt - Bremen. The game has turned into something of a slugfest (ala Netherlands-Portugal 2006). Diego was given a straight red in the 40th for bodychecking Frankfurt's Kyrgiakos. There've been 4 yellows (two for each team) in addition to Diego's red and a whole bunch of other not-very-nice fouls.
In other games of note in the Bundesliga, it's scoreless between Schalke and Leverkusen (poor Adler's hurt!). Stuttgart lead Karlsruhe 2-0 in what I think is a local derby (need to check a map for that). Bayern and Hamburg play in the Sunday game. |

Well, the Frankfurt-Bremen game continued to be generally ill-tempered, but Frankfurt got the win courtesy of a goal from Amanatidis (dst, lots of Greek players on the Frankfurt team) and some very good goalkeeping.
Stuttgart beat Karlsruhe 3-1, with goals from Gomez, Hilbert, and Cacau. And Leverkusen beat Schalke 1-0, with a goal from Friedrich. There was a red in injury time for Schalke's Jermaine Jones for a nasty foul on Kiessling. |

Schalke was defending very poor but Friedrichs cross/shot was one Neuer had to have. But I'm happy with Leverkusen winning. Amanatidis showed a nice performance again, great finishing against Wiese. Stuttgart won over surprise team Karlsruhe and they're back in the race for the UEFA Cup spots. Gomez scored his 11th goal in his 16th match. That guy is a striker a striker a striker. |

Bayern-Hamburg today. 16:00 UK.
I hope Klose, Toni, Altintop and co give them a lesson. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Ribery will be back, though Hitzfeld said he doesn't know if he'll play. |

Hamburg used to be Bayerns most feared opponent in 1 on 1. Bayern couldn't win against them in the last 2 years and Hamburg won the last two games in the Allianz Arena. If Bayern wins, they'd almost be through for the Meisterschaft. As I can't stand Bayern I'll cheer for Hamburg. Oh and, Mario Gomez wants to become the new Zlatan as it seems. After Stuttgarts match against Karlsruhe he insulted KSC defender Maik Franz (with whom he had some hefty duels) "This unfair @sshole is being covered by the refs."
