What a crazy day of football. Three 3-3 draws and a 2-2 decided by penalty shoot-outs, all won by the team from the higher division. Plus Frankfurt's 5-3 thanks to Rebic's hat-trick... 64 goals in 11 games.

You had practice a few years ago.
Good thing I missed Köln's match in Wolfsburg, which they lost 2-1. Apparently they were denied a pretty clear penalty, even on VAR review. Good to know that VAR doesn't interfere with some traditions.
BVB in the end beat Augsburg 5-1. Surprise score of the day: Werder - Düsseldorf 1-3

A bit of both, I suspect.
Meanwhile, Bayern have released a statement to the effect that the terms of the agreement between them and Barcelona governing the Countinho deal will be kept strictly confidential, by mutual consensus.
Barcelona also released a statement: "Bayern is paying 8,5 million euros and the players salary. The agreement further gives Bayern a buying option for the fixed amount of 120 million euros.
Firstly, define "confidential". Secondly, sounds like a panic move by Bayern. 8,5 million euros for a loan deal? That's more than some Bundesliga clubs' most costly transfer.

I don't know how accurate the figures (from Wiki) are, but some "loan deals" can have some pretty large costs attached. For instance, when Chelsea loaned Higuain from Juve last season they paid paid them Ł8.1m (not sure that was good business!) whilst, in the other direction, Zouma's services cost the Toffees Ł7.11m.
If you trust the figures, Chelsea's loan outs last season generated just south of Ł17m.

Well, Hennes' debut started well, and Köln were good value to be 2-0 up before Dortmund equalised in the 70th, and took the lead in the 86th. The their goal came at the death from a counterattack. Köln's new young defender Sebastiaan Bornauw looks very promising indeed. He'll play for a big team before too long, if tonight's performance is an indicator.

Back from Berlin where I enjoyed seeing Union gear in the souvenir shops, though I've always liked Hertha's flag badge. I of course have a pre-Wende Union badge given to me by my pal who did his year abroad at Neues Deutschland.
Sadly there was no tv in the apartment so mssed highlights of Gladbach's 1:3 at Mainz. I DID however pick up a Sonderheft and a Bilanz (last season in excruciating detail, same price) and while playing with my Stecktabelle came to see the great difficulty of getting the tabs into the Bundesliga top 5 (knives ultimately required) as a deeply profound metaphor.

No - just translating press releases, I think. He did write a memoir, but rather more focused on his terminal brain tumour. I remember him telling me how pleased he was to see Blutwurst (see- thread relevance! or two years' ago's, anyway) on the canteen menu. Then the horror of piercing it with his knife and watery blood contents deluging his kartoffelsalat.
