BUNDESLIGA: RESULTS FROM MATCHDAY 5 AND PICSPAM

[jenni_blog]

I didn't get a chance to update on the Bundesliga for Matchday 4, but here are last weekend's match results:

And I have been told that I cannot be both a Schalke fan and a Borussia Dortmund fan because apparently both are deadly rivals. But because I am living in Canada and know nothing about these things over here, may I please be forgiven for not knowing and just liking the way that each team plays? So okay...if I must choose one team over the other, then it has to be Schalke. For Raul. For not only Raul, but their other players as well. For their passion and heart. For all the pleasure they have given me over the years. (Okay, maybe not so much during Magath's term as coach. *shudders*)

Right. Enough talk. Onto the picspam!





Wolfsburg 2-1 Schalke

I saw this match. It was a horrible day, cold and rainy. I know Farfan didn`t like it and it showed. Schalke did not play well at all. :(

























Borussia Dortmund 1-2 Hertha Berlin





































Stuttgart 3-0 Hannover











































Moenchengladbach 1-0 Kaisserslautern



Bayern 7-0 Freiburg



Cologne 1-2 Nuremburg

Thank you so much for this picspam! The Dortmund-Hertha match was a total killer. OMG. I am so happy that I actually went there to watch the match live. *wheeee*

I do not understand why Rangnick doesn't let Uchida play. When he did (ONE game!), the team gelled and was at its most organized. I'm not saying it's all because of him, no, but it helps!

Fährmann got tears on his ankle ligaments and wants to play like that today :|



What the heck has Ebert done to his hair now?! o.O

Thanks for the comment!

Who plays in Uchida's position instead? I think it's sad sometimes when two good players have to vie for the same spot. :(

Fahrmann is a pretty amazing GK. :)

LOL @ Ebert's hair! It might look cool (to some) when he's just standing around, but it's NOT a hairdo for action shots! Looks ridiculous! O_O

I've got to give kudos to some cameramen for capturing the most awesome pictures sometimes. :)

Poldi always gives the BEST poses...always with emotion too. XD

Geromel has such an interesting look...I swear he wears kohl eyeliner. :D

Marco Höger plays at RB instead of Uchida. Though Uchida played today and I heard the defense was better. Thing is, Höger is a midfielder. Either way, he's good as a RB, but I think Uchida is a tick better. And faster.

lol at the eyeliner thing XD

Bayern won 7 to nothing :) just sayin' ;) you are settling on the wrong horse lol

Hahahaha...I started off watching the Bundesliga for Bayern. And then I got put off when they had that awful coach...what was his name again? And players I liked left...starting with Poldi I think...and at the same time I was developing a strong affection for the team in blue. Even after Schalke was overhauled, I still felt the same way about them. And even that dreadful Magath couldn't change my mind when he came in...so I guess it's true love. It doesn't hurt that Raul is there. And that he stayed another season...he must be fond of them too...says a lot.

LOL...in 2009 when I visited Munich, I bought a Schweinsteiger shirt (I still like him a lot), a beautiful Bayern sports bag that was awfully expensive...close to 100 euros, a Lahmi scarf and some other Bayern souvenirs. I liked them a lot, but Schalke has overtaken them and captured my heart. ♥

If it means anything, I love the German NT and do think they are the best in the world year after year, and it kills me that they seem to choke right at the worst time. :(

I really love this. It estranges me as well. Liking schalke, dortmund and bayern is something so absurdly fascinating. Nobody over here believes it, when i mention it lol My husband said: poor girl, going from bayern to schalke is like 'choosing' a life if of pain and misery. most likely referering to the fact that they haven't won the german league in forever. I hated Van Gaal in his second season, too. Of course nothing could ever change my love for the club. Not even Micho leaving, which was heartbreaking. i'm ashamed to admit that I wanted Poldi gone because he is too slow and too lazy for us. Hope you can forgive me. All for the greater good and hopefully the win at the end of the league. However I still love this. Since you are not from here it's an entirely different perspective, which is fun to follow. Definitely enjoy your entries, even if I don't understand it lol You are wonderful. Crazy Canadian!

Wow. You know you love a club when you still love them after your favourite player leaves.

I forgive you.XD I feel it is better to agree to disagree rather than attack someone because they like someone you hate and vice-versa. :)

Bayern looks very strong this season. Despite the fact I turned to Schalke, I felt bad that Bayern didn't do well last season. But I don't like it when the same teams win the league year after year after year. Yet I suppose it is a fact of life. :(

Yeah, it's a bit more difficult for me because not only am I not from Europe or even South America, I have been following European football only since 2006, when it became available on TV here. Early streams were just unwatchable for their poor quality.

LOL...I think Canadians are known for our craziness! :)
