That's awesome! I'm looking forward to watching Hamburg play in HD and not having to rely on illegal Russian streaming sites!

I'm also heading to Germany next month for a wedding, and a buddy of mine and I will be at the FC Bayern-Hamburg SV game on August 14! NUR DER HSV!

Frankfurt has gorgeous new kits!

Finally get Bundesliga coverage, and Schweini doesn't play for Bayern anymore

[CroFlames]

Best league in the world.

What a lopsided weekend in der Bundesliga.

Bayern make Hamburger out of Hamburg's defence 5-0.

Schalke shred Bremen 3-0.

And right now after 70 minutes Borussia are hammering Borussia 4-0.

Great weekend in der Bundesliga.

Bayern and Dortmund still going head-to-head which is fantastic to see and Wolfsburg sell off De Bruyne but pickup Chicharito and Dante which is a good bit of business for them.

Looks like Muller is going after the top-scorer award this season.

Wolfsburg didn't pickup Chicharito - Leverkusen did. Wolfsburg bought Draxler.

I think Leverkusen have done really well, selling Son for a lot of money and bringing in Chicharito and Kampl instead. Should definitely help them. Too bad that their other new player Aranguiz tore his achilles tendon last week.

Horrible few days for Wolfsburg though. They have lost their two best attacking players in De Bruyne and Perisic (who has joined Inter). Dante is well past it and Draxler has been underwhelming for a couple of years now, yet still they paid A LOT of money for him now. Reckon they won't be able to challenge Bayern, Dortmund and Leverkusen this year.

You're right, I re-read what I wrote and I'm thinking, 'WTF, Chicharito went to Leverkusen and I forgot to mention Draxler...'

I was composing another post in another window and lost focus. My apologies.

I didnt see the fee for Draxler, I thought that was a good pickup.

I also didnt realize that Dortmund let Blaszczykowski and Grosskreutz go. Those are huge losses but they obviously arent feeling the effects.

Personally I think that Wolfsburg has done alright. Dante + Draxler + cash seems to be an ok response to selling De Bruyne. I think Dante can still be serviceable and the Bayern fans turned on him too harshly

yeah but don't forget that they lost Perisic too who was excellent for them last season. Even if Draxler rebounds, he surely can't replace both De Bruyne and Perisic ...

Dante seems like a weird transfer to me. They already have Naldo, Knoche and Klose, which looks like a good enough centre back corps. Not sure they even need Dante and not sure if he'll even start for them.

Totally missed the Perisic news. They must be banking on Schurrle scoring goals for them

'Gladbach turned to hamburger by Hamburg.

Neat to see that John Djourou can still find work.

[devo22]

what the hell is going on at Gladbach? They were great to watch last season, how can a team fall from grace like that so quickly?

I dunno, the same way a team like Dortmund go from Champions League spots to a relegation battle and back again with largely the same group of players.

It madness! Madness I tell you!

I enjoyed being able to watch the Hamburg win over die Fohlen online through Sportsnet World over my lunch hour! NUR DER HSV!

[devo22]

After losing their fifth game in a row yesterday (0-1 vs Cologne), Lucien Favre stepped down as Gladbach manager today. Pretty shocking to be honest, didn't think he'd just give up that quickly. After all, he helped build that team over the last few years and I'm sure he could have turned this around.

Hope Dortmund can beat Bayern...

Lewy off the bench tearing Wolfsburg apart. 2 goals in less than 60 seconds.

Bad day for Wolfsburg, first the VW scandal and now this.

5!
