Bottom 2 straight down and 16th the play off game?

Yep

So I reckon we'll be alright for the bottom two and then you generally back the Bundesliga team if you do happen to come 16th. Pretty rare the 2.Liga team has won since they brought that system in.
 
We've also now won more games than we did in the entire season when I first got involved.

Cottbus are now in 3.Liga but were even a league lower last season, Regionalliga Nordost (the regional variant of what we saw at Norderstedt @Kenny ).

Rostock are there too.

Nürnberg went down to 2.Liga in 2019 and have never come anywhere near challenging for promotion since, basically a German Stoke.

Augsburg grabbed a late equaliser at Millerntor to prevent it being a Saturday double for me.

Still though, on 21 points we're now as close to Gladbach in 7th as we are to Kiel in 17th.
 
Mariners give away a 2 goal lead and share the points in the 'F3 derby'.

CLT kicked off the MLS season away to Seattle on Saturday; generally outplayed which was a bit disappointing, but with ex-Ludogorets GK and reigning MLS GKotY Kristijan Kahlina continuing his excellent form, we hung around and managed to force a late (and calamitous) OG, leaving with a 2-2 draw.

Zaha didn’t play, some sort of personal issue. Hopefully not an omen that his bluster after signing was just that: bluster. Seattle are good but we need more in attack; you can’t often rely on scoring more goals than you have shots on target!
 
@Lycan I think Abada needs a move back to Europe. Good footballer and I really like him, but he’s never looked comfortable on turf and I think he’s being sold short by Dean Smith’s turtle tactics.

Meanwhile, CLT are up 2-0 against Atlanta with an hour gone; Zaha anonymous first half but with a goal and assist inside 10 minutes of the second.

Nothing against the guy personally but I hope we don't see him in Europe again.
 
And 2-0 it ends! We've been so hard to beat at home under Smith, so fair play there.

Love to get one over on Atlanta. We ride our luck defensively sometimes, it feels, but we kept Latte Lath pretty quiet which seemed unlikely after how well he played last week against Montréal.

Addendum: Zaha seems a wretched interview! For as flamboyant as he is during a match, he's a PR robot just after! :LOL:

He did admit that he badly scuffed his goal, which I can appreciate. Not sure what Guzan was doing on that one.

Fucking sickening loss for Charlotte against Miami, who didn't put Messi on the pitch, were down to 10 men for more than a half, and still beat us 1-0.

The sort of result that really makes you want to check out entirely.
 
A vital 1-0 win for St Pauli over Hoffenheim last night.

Bochum have had a ridiculous revival and have some momentum (Kiel and Heidenheim very much less so) but even so, this is a position I'd have happily taken in August.

3 points for CLT, so y'all know what that means... Highlights!


Our first is off the back of some very stereotypical "MLS defending" (and Celentano probably should do better), but I won't complain; Liel has badly needed something to go right for him as he's started the season woefully. He's clearly talented as all get out, but it's remarkable how much watching him here has convinced me that the standard of defending in the SPL (SPFL?) is beyond atrocious.

Our second, though, is becoming a bit of a Patrick Agyemang special. There might not be a single forward in MLS who is better than Big Pat at running off the shoulder and just leathering the ball home (though, in this case, the finish was more placement than power, but any time he's allowed to get vertical into the box, well, he "knows where the goal is").

Zaha; I don't know if I missed some really bad injury he got at some point, or if he's just rusty from not playing much over the last year, or if he hasn't got to grips with plastic grass, but things haven't quite been coming off for him as yet. Still, he's regularly pulling two or three defenders to him, which I would expect we'll get better about taking advantage of as the chemistry in the side continues to gel.

Exactly what we needed after the debacle in Miami. We just don't look like we know how to lose at BofA right now. Long may that continue.

Oh, also, Evander from Cincy is a stunning player. Just a joy to watch.
