Werder Bremen game tonight

[andyf5]

Anyone watching? Bayern down to 10 men 11 mins to go Bremen need a goal for a point. Lots of crowd noise which improves viewing.

[Lancs Harp]

I think Werder tactically got it right. 1-0 down but hung in there then Bayern reduced to 10 men for the last 15 minutes or so and gave it a bit of ago. Congratulations to Bayern yet another championship, head and shoulders above anyone else in the Bundesliga and have been for quite some time.

Eight in row PSG must be about the same Juve too ?

Money is killing the game.

Getting a bit boring now, eight in a row.

It's nearly as bad as Scotland

Huge game on Saturday. Don’t win that and it’s over.

Most top leagues in Europe, Juve/ PSG/ Porto or Benfica/ Ajax/ Bayern/ Anderlecht or Brugges/Olympiakos/ etc etc almost makes the EPL competitive. Football has been money centric for decades lets not pretend otherwise.

In my lifetime I think 4 maybe 5 teams have won the bundesliga.

It's 2 in Scotland.

TBF Germany is 12 times the size of Scotland it should be more competitive. In my lifetime 5 or six teams have won the league in Scotland.

Monaco won the French league 3 years ago.

[G15 Hibs]

Monaco won the French league 3 years ago.

PSG have won 7 of the last 8.

Going back to the topic, Bremen probably did the right thing last night, knowing that the important games are still to come, especially this weekend, and the likelihood of taking anything from last night's game. Kept in the game but never overstretched themselves and risked injury or suspension. Wins for Dortmund and Leipzig tonight a must, as is 3 points against Mainz on Saturday. Still a chance for them.

I think they will beat Mainz they looked terrible the other night

They looked utterly bereft against a poor Augsburg team on Sunday, aye.

It's actually fifteen times the population of Scotland (5.4 million to 83 million), but your point still stands.

Either way, it doesn't change the point that both leagues are now getting boringly predictable.

[Hibrandenburg]

Huge game on Saturday. Don’t win that and it’s over.

I think the result against Bayern was positive for Werder. This could possibly go down to goal difference and with 5 goals at the weekend for Werder and only losing by 1 against Bayern, things could get pretty tight before the last game. With Mainz away to Dortmund and Düsseldorf away in Leipzig tonight it could possibly see Bremen leapfrog Düsseldorf despite having lost yesterday.

Yes. Lyon won 7 in a row last decade though, no one said a word.

These teams have taken a big step forward and left others in the dust. There is no reason Bayern are so far ahead other than being better run and making better decisions. Dortmund have had all the chances.

Dortmund 0 Mainz 2
Leipzig 2 Dusseldorf 2

Not good results for Werder Bremen.

[DaveF]

Last game of regular season today.

Bremen up 3-0 and Dusseldorf losing so as it stands Bremen will be in the playoffs.

35mins to go though.

Fortuna Düsseldorf,the ultimate yoyo club. When I lived there they beat Bayern and Dortmund but still got relegated

[Hibrandenburg]

That was some day yesterday. My boy's team had their end of season party at the ground and the clubhouse was showing the games on a couple of large screen TV'S. Although the area I live in is 50/50 Union/Hertha, by the end of the game everyone was rooting for Werder. Oh ma heid, all set now for another Wunder on the Weser. 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Hamburg had the chance today to set up a Nordderby playoff with Werder, but instead Sandhausen killed them as a club: https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1388708/Live/Germany-Bundesliga-II-2019-2020-Hamburger-SV-Sandhausen

Werder's playoff will be against Heidenheim.

Heidenheim are decent but I prefer their camp site rivals, Heidenho.

BT Sport show a fair number of Bundesliga games, not sure if they usually show the playoffs.

Shocking today by one of German football's traditional "giants". I don't follow German football in depth but anyone got a wee breakdown of why Hamburg have fallen so much in the last 4 seasons or so. They've lost out to clubs like Paderborn, Union Berlin, Armenia, Heidenheim in the promotion stakes - all due respect - clubs nowhere as big.

I would imagine they have massive potential, surely?

Yeah they are both on BT

Scheduled to show 1st leg Thursday. I presume 2nd Sunday. Saturday is Pokal final.

When they went down last season, it was their first ever relegation from the Bundesliga. I haven't followed how they've done this year but I'd guess the club is still a bit of a mess.

I'll be honest, my sympathy is limited:

Mine too - but there must be something why a massive club like Hamburg has missed out for three seasons on promotion back to the Bundesliga. Stuttgart went down and got back quickly, as did Cologne.

Two seasons, but yes, longer than I thought.

Footlights just off Bread Street shows loads of German foitba, think they have a Dortmund fan club. I don't think they have an outdoor area though, worth knowing for future reference though.

For those not familiar with the German language, Heidenheim is German for Hamilton.


:duck:

[Wilson]

Weirder 0-1 up in the away leg. 18mins in.

[Wilson]

Half time. 0-1 to the good guys.

[DaveF]

Cracking OG for the goal too.

Should be level after a good start to the 2nd half from Hamilton but now pretty even and both teams look capable of losing goals.

[04Sauzee]

Had about 3 cleared of the line should be 2 up at least

[DaveF]

Bremen should have scored again but poor finishing / good saves keep it at 1.

[Wilson]

1-1.

[greenlex]

Sakes

[04Sauzee]

Cruel goal to lose but deserved to win on the night

[Jones28]

Yaaaaaass!

Unbelievable Geoff!

Fortuna are apparently going to take the German FA to court after being relegated.

They said that it's totally unfair, as they'd spent €80M trying to stay up... and anyway, their owner is a really good businesswoman.

If they are 'expelled' from the top league, they want €100M in compensation, plus whoever is now the Head Coach at Dundee Utd.
