DFB-Pokal 2016/17

Summer's having a last hurrah!!!
I'm taking a bike trip to Potsdam to take a swim in the Wannsee and visit the Karl-Liebknecht-Stadion !!

Have fun there

Was ok. Of course clouds gathered right after I'd left and it almost started to rain when I had left the inner city
Apart from yesterday, there was not one single day in August where one could rely on good weather. Absolutely annoying summer.
But it got better again; Babelsberg is a likeable club with a nice cozy stadium.
Sadly their GK didn't have what it takes to produce a cup sensation - he gifted Freiburg a goal after 20 min and the thing was settled. Babelsberg were rather poor and it was never contentious.
But there are good news too, unbelievably Dresden still managed to kick out Red Bull Leipzig after being 2:0 down
Very happy about that.
Gladbach doesn't seem to have had the easiest of strolls?

But of course you must be happy about arch-supervillains Rot-Weiss Essen losing on penalties?

Well, it's always a good thing to see RWE lose, especially as RWO are playing utter crap this season, result-wise. At least today we manage to get the equalizer in injury time. All hail Terra, our football good (former striker and longtime fan favourite) who took over as coach this week.

Gladbach played with numerous substitutes compared to the YB match, who were thought to be pretty good themselves, but who totally didn't show it today,. But then, D/A set up a very respectable defense, so it was kudos to them properly parking the bus that Gladbach only scored once. At least this match didn't go into extra time as so many of the others this afternoon.

And yeah, down with the tin cans! All hail Dynamo Dresden for that!

ffs

during yesterday's Pokal derby between Dynamo Dresden and Red Bull Leipzig, Dynamo supporters actually threw the severed head of a bull from the stands onto the ground

Spoiler:

One is always left to wonder how they manage to smuggle certain things into the stadiums nowadays...

But they are not called Red Bull Leipzig, they are Lawn Bowling Leipzig.  Dumb East Germans!

Spoiler:

In equally disturbing news, Werder loses to Tante Lotte

ffs Hertha avoid embarrassment with a late equalizer
still not through though

So far only Rote Brause and Werder Bremen are out among the Bundesliga clubs. Last season the little clubs were more effective. ^^

Kalou is entering his third season at Hertha but his face stll can't disguise the disgust and bewilderment about being surrounded by all those scrubs

Who blackmailed him to join Hertha in the first place?

I have no idea how he ended up here and I think neither has he

Maybe someone told him he'd sign for the 'old lady' and he thought it's Juve?

A bit poor that Regensburg can't fill their new 15.000 stadium even for a cup game against a bundesliga club like Hertha

But they're actually the better team now, lots of chances. Last minute.

Indeed.

BTw, the goalies in this match did a really good job so far

Weiser and Kalou to miss their pens

In Aue vs Audi it's 6:6 atm

Weiser with a panenka

Hertha win...

Aue just missed their pen

and Kalou scores the decisive one

I apologize for ruining this

The goalie from Aue was in the right corner for several times, but the guys from Ingolstadt just shot too hard....

7 ties finished in penalties, of those 7 were 5 involving a Bundesliga team playing against an opponent from lower divisions

So far we had 4 games decided in extra time and 7 matches that went to penalty shoot-outs in the DFB-Pokal. The smaller clubs didn't make it easy for the bigger ones, even when most of them ultimately failed.

LOL, GMTA XD

lmao and then the funny thing on top is that noone else but us is reading this anyways
