Same story this week. 2-2 draw at Freiburg. I get that Freiburg are in second (and Dortmund now in 7th) but this is a match that should be full points to Dortmund. There is a five-way tie for the top spot but Bayern are ahead on GD. But I don't expect this scenario to last; Bayern will put away and that will be that. PSG probably has already won Ligue 1 and Juve will need a few more weeks for Inter to implode.

As a Köln fan, I'm excited about mid-table finishes. Being in the 2. Bundesliga means there is a constant pressure to not being made fools of. Köln were made fools of a few times last season. This year, if we go down, we know the drill. But if we don't, there'll be great joy all around.

They were very bad against Leipzig and positively awful against Wolfsberger AC in the Europa League, but otherwise have been solid. The European result is looking more and more like an anomaly (Leipzig are genuinely good, unfortunately).

It ends 5-1 to Gladbach
They haven't been top of the table this late in the season since 85-86
The stand opposite the cameras at Wolfsburg isore than half empty for Union's visit, which is strange.Last edited by ursus arctos; 06-10-2019, 14:00.

Surely the league positions mean almost nothing yet (except in Paderborn's case.) I wonder what effect these international breaks have on perception? Only seven games over ten weeks makes for a distorted and kind of anti-climatic start to the season.

I get that the point is Gladbach's last time in the top spot but they certainly were very good when Lucien Favre was managing them (until they slipped and he was fired). I also remember a good run in the Europa League. None of that was title winning but they played some impressive football.

In other news, for folks living in the US, I just read that ESPN+ has acquired Bundesliga rights starting next year. If they match what happens with Serie A (every single game), that will be a good change. Fox does a good job but more choices is always better (esp. since FS+ is sometimes an option for Bundesliga and the $15.99 per month is steep for a channel that is rarely HD).

Bayern losing to Hoffenheim the other week and drawing against Augsburg on Saturday was highly amusing. And it looks like Süle will be out injured for a while.
Kovac raus!

The most bizarre penalty was awarded in the 2. Bundesliga today. Warming up behind the goal, a Holstein Kiel substitute stopped a goal from going out. The penalty gave Bochum an equaliser, but Kiel went on to win 2-1.
A bizarre red card was given to Hannover goalie Ron-Robert Zieler. Trying to punch away the ball, as goalkeepers are wont to do, he connected with a Karlsruhe striker. Happily the red card came in injury time (which had already produced two goals) and didn't change the score.
Bizarre stuff also in Mainz, where the VAR alerted the ref to a clear Mainz handball in the penalty area. The ref went to look at it on the monitor and inexplicably decided to give no penalty. That would have given Köln the chance to make it 2-2; they went on to lose 3-1.
