Well, a Hamburg already without VdV put 3 past the Zebras yesterday. They were plenty entertaining. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
(And again Olic impressed me.) |

Olic needs to learn how to finish. He missed so many chances at the tournement - I know he scored 2 in the last minute, but that was more to do with who was in goal, he won't come up against somebody that bad every week. He was also poor in front of goal at the Euro's, even though I thought he had a great tournement.

If one wants o know how important VdV is to Hamburg you just have to take a look at the 06/07 season. After VdV couldN#t play most of the matches during the first half of the season due to injures and suspension Hamburg found themselves in the relegation zone! After he came back they fought their way up and finished 7th in the end. I'm not saying they're useless without him, but unless they purchase a very good new AM they're not even going to make an UEFA Cup spot. |

So, Bayern are playing the cugini in a preseason friendly. Toni and Ribery are out for Bayern - as is poor Willy Sagnol, who's had ANOTHER injury (operation on his achilles tendon) that's likely to keep him out for months. There are defensive absences for the cugini (Cambiasso is playing as a CB) and Adriano is playing lone hitman (with Figo and Mancini on the wings).
Luis Figo and Mark Van Bommel are - from the Italiand and German text commentary - renewing their old friendship from the 2006 World Cup. They haven't quite come to blows but there've been a couple of trademark nasty Van Bommel tackles followed by some not-so-friendly looks (at least that's what I'm making of the commentary). A pity this one's not televised here, sounds like it's entertaining. |

* Mark van Bommel has been appointed as Bayern new captain today. A reason more to dislike them both. Besides that van Bommel is the first foreign player who'll permanently perform as captain of Bayern.
* Franck Ribery has, unsurprisingly, won the election for the German "Player of the year" award. Ballack came in second. * The first round of the domestic cup the "DFB Pokal" started yesterday. Cologne won against a team of SV Niederauerbach. Not a huge surprise. The other games will be played between today and Sunday. my personal highlight is going to be the match between Bochum and Preußen Münster, my hometown club, this evening. What a luxury it is that the Preußenstadium is only 5 minutes away from where I live (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Ribery won Germany Player of the Year? Isn't he French? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Or is it for players in Germany? But then how would Ballack come 2nd? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/96.gif) The game went to penalties, which Bochum won 6-5. Must've been quite the game to attend! |

Must've been quite the game to attend! The game was ****ing thrilling although it was a lousy game for any neutral observer. I was cheering for Bochum of course...but damn...we were so close to a HUGE disgrace. But we won thx to our new keeper Dani Fernandes who saved two penalties. The stadium in Münster was sold out for the first time in 15 years or so and the entire ciy was excited about the match. And yes...I had one or two beers too much...

Gosh. It's starting in style too.
Bayern are playing Hamburg in this weekend's early game. It's Bayern 2 - 1 Hamburg at the half. Very entertaining game. |

Yep, Bayern's missing out Ribery and Toni but they still play good. Main problem is they only play (attack) in cycles.
Hamburg is also doing well, in particular Trochowski who made the assist for Guerrero. But the absence of R van der Vaart is a clear minus. I wonder if HSV plans on bringing in a new playmaker. So far they had a dreadfull transfer period. This post has been edited by Fillipo Simone: Aug 15 2008, 08:33 PM |

FT Bayern 2-2 Hamburg.
Hamburg got the equalizer on a penalty. Interesting start to the season -- the Bayern fans were unamused at the result, which I think is a good one for Hamburg. |

I play football every Friday night, so I will miss then unfortunately. So do Germany have anymore live games every week?
