So how many players lost their job in your league for being pro-Palestine? We have 1 (a player from Mainz) and Mazraoui from Bayern is in for some very serious talk with the bosses when he comes back from his national team.

I am shocked by this considering most FA's just pretended nothing has happened. Thought there was just going to be silence from both sets of fans, some sorrow for the Swedish fans, and moving on
 
So interesting games this weekend are Chelsea vs Arsenal, Milan vs Juventus, and surprisingly Union Berlin vs Stuttgart. While the other 2 are self explanatory, Union Berlin were a surprise team last season and got into Champions League (struggling though) and currently Stuttgart are second in the Bundesliga. Its insane to think that Leverkusen are top of the league with 19 points, Stuttgart is second with 18, and Dortmund are tied with Bayern at 17 points. Wonder how long that will last

Union absolutely overperformed last season. They won a lot of games where they had like 0 chances and 0 shots on goal but still managed to score somehow (overexaggerated). It really was insane. Since they reached Bundesliga they got better every year and got a better ranking in the end so it a lot of people expected them this year to do a bit worse. But they now lost 7 games in a row (Bundesliga + Champions League). To be fair they play way better but they completely miss any luck this season so far.
For their CL run it was expected that they will struggle. 99% of the teams who play for the first time in CL do. Eintracht Frankfurt last year was an exception with getting through the group stage.

Stuttgart struggled the last two season and played against being relegated although everyone expected them to do better given the amount of young talent in their ranks. They lost a lot of crucial players this year so most people didn't know what to expect. Last season they got Serhou Guirassy who as at the moment at 13 goals in 7 games which is a new record. With his first 8 shots on goal he scored 8 goals which is another record.

So it's the best scorer against a team that is 0-7 in their last 7 games. Good luck, Union.
 
So either Chelsea go on to be in the top 6 and grab some other amazing results, or Arsenal just bottled it by letting that overpriced Ukrainian score. Really pissed about that


Stuttgart won again. Kind of insane seeing the top 2 spots being leverkusen and stuttgart.



Also, Sir Bobby Charlton died today. I imagine the manchester derby next weekend is going to be insane.
 
Imagine being FC Bayern and landing a league record breaking transfer with Harry Kane.
Imagine being a Premier League top scorer and going to FC Bayern who won 11 championships in a row so you finally get a shot at a trophy.
Suddenly a club shows up who battled relegation the last two seasons and is now ranked before FC Bayern and spend 100k on a player who outscores the Premier League guy.

Just lol

Leverkusen is near to be flawless so far but there is a reason why they are called "Vizekusen" (Vicekusen). Bc they always fuck up in the end.

Stuttgart has the advantage of not playing internationally so maybe this keeps them stable and their players fit enough for a good long run. There is no way Guirassy keeps his pace (14 goals in 8 games now). If he does he would end up with something around 60 goals. Not gonna happen.

Edit: Guirassy got injured in the game and will be out for "some weeks" now.

Dortmund doesn't really look that good. They won 6 out of the first 8 games but they never looked stable and convincing enough in any of these games besides the 4:2 win against Union but that was mainly bc Union fell apart in the 2nd half.

So essentially its Leverkusen that everyone has to get behind in order to beat out Bayern. Otherwise its just over
 
Great 2nd half comeback by Leeds at the weekend. Shame they weren't playing at home.
 
In the 2nd Czech league a game ended 5:9. 11 goals were scored in the 2nd half.

German commentary but it has all the goals. That FC Zlin goalkeeper was really having a bad day. Like really bad.
 
>Last UCL group
>0 UCL goals
>Historic loss to Inter
>Loss to a mid Juventus squad at home

Thanks for the Scudetto, but it's time to go (along with most of our bozo players)-

Romano's confirmed in recent days that he has a release clause of 17.5m that takes effect this upcoming January too. Wouldn't be surprised if several big clubs went in for him for that price but I'd love to see how he does outside of the Bundesliga. Some people seem to have amazing seasons in the Bundesliga and translate terribly in the PL (Werner, Havertz, Sancho, etc), so wouldn't be surprised if this is another flop waiting to happen.

Also, reports coming out today that Sandro Tonali is getting a 10 month ban for gambling offences. Makes you wonder if Milan knew all about it and cashed in before shit hit the fan.
 
Today is Manuel Neuer's comeback in the goal of FC Bayern. Right now they are playing against Darmstadt ... and Kimmich from Bayern got a red card after not even 5 minutes. Welcome back, Manuel!

Edit: After 20 mins played Darmstadt decided to join the celebration and got a red card too.

2. Edit: Darmstadt decided one present isn't enough and got another red card. It's still a 0:0 tho. But seeing 3 red cards in one halftime is something very special and rarely ever happens here.
