  2. Darmstadt 1-2 Köln Hertha BSC 2-0 Braunschweig Hannover 2-1 Schalke Münster 2-2 Elversberg Regensburg 1-2 Düsseldorf Lautern 2-2 Paderborn Hamburg 2-1 Magdeburg Fürth 2-1 Nürnberg Ulm 1-2 Karlsruhe
  3. Scotland did well to hold a dominant Portugal to a 0-0 draw at Hampden Park. Cristiano Ronaldo was not happy with the officiating though, and he made his feelings felt at full-time. Scotland 0-0 Portugal
  4. In the last match day of Asian World Cup qualifiers, there were some interesting results. In Group A, Qatar beat Kyrgyzstan 3-1. Almoez Ali would give Qatar the lead in the 1st half, then an own goal in the 2nd half by Kozubaev would extend Qatar's lead to 2-0. However, the Kyrgyz side would pull a goal back through Shukurov. But any chance of a potential equaliser were put to bed when Al Hassan went on to score Qatar's 3rd goal to make it 3-1. Qatar 3-1 Kyrgyzstan Uzbekistan and Iran would play out a 0-0 draw in Tashkent, a point which probably suited both sides at this stage, since both are now top of their group on 7 points. Uzbekistan 0-0 Iran In the last game in this group, the UAE drew 1-1 with North Korea. Al-Ghassani would give the UAE the lead in the 66th minute, but North Korea would equalise late in the match in the 86th minute through Jong. UAE 1-1 North Korea In Group B, Oman would thrash Kuwait 4-0. Al-Mushaifri gave Oman an early lead, as he slotted the ball home after a clever one two pass with his team mate. Muhsen Al-Ghassani would score Oman's 2nd goal with an accurate header into the corner of the net. In the 2nd half, Al-Mushaifri scored his 2nd goal and Oman's 3rd goal, as he met a cut back cross and swerved to shoot it into the far corner of the Kuwaiti net. Oman would add their 4th goal as the onrushing Fawaz would smack a cross into the net from close range to complete the rout for Oman. It was a very impressive performance by Oman, who thrashed a Kuwaiti side that had previously drawn with Iraq and Jordan. This was Kuwait's first loss in the group and they got torn apart by the Omanis. Oman 4-0 Kuwait In another match in this group, South Korea beat a plucky Jordanian team 2-0. Jordan pressured the South Koreans on many occasions with their attacks, especially from the wings, but Koreans showed their quality as they were clinical and dangerous themselves with their chances. Jae-sung gave South Korea the lead in 38th minute with an accurate close range header and in the 2nd half, Hyeon-gyu would make it 2-0 to South Korea, as he cut inside and unleashed an accurate shot into the corner of the net. This win extended South Korea's lead at the top of the table. Korea were without their star player Son Heung-min for this match, but they still showed their quality to carve out the win. It was sweet revenge for South Korea, as the Jordanians had knocked them out of the Asian Cup earlier this year, but the Koreans got their own back in this match. Jordan 0-2 South Korea In the last match in this group, a dominant Iraq would beat Palestine 1-0. Aymen Hussein scored Iraq's only goal as he cut inside and slotted a shot into the far corner of the net. Iraq dominated and created many chances, but they only had the one goal from Hussein to show for it. Iraq 1-0 Palestine In Group C, Australia beat China 3-1, in an important win from them, albeit against an underperforming China side, who have lost all 3 group matches so far and who have a goal difference of -10 after these 3 matches. Australia were dominant from the start, but China took a shock lead in the 1st half with a clinical finish on the counter attack. However, Australia would equalise just before half-time through Miller. Australia would then score further goals in the 2nd half through a long range cracker from Goodwin and a neat goal from Velupillay. That gave Australia a 3-1 lead and that's how the match would finish in a convincing win for the Aussies. Australia 3-1 China In another match in Group C, Bahrain would draw 2-2 against a much improved Indonesian national team. Bahrain would take an early lead from a free-kick goal through their player Marhoon, but Indonesia would then equalise through Oratmangoen just before half-time. In the 2nd half, Indonesia would actually take the lead, as Struick netter their 2nd goal. However, Marhoon would score his and Bahrain's 2nd goal deep into injury time to equalise. Bahrain 2-2 Indonesia In the final match of the group, Japan beat Saudi Arabia 2-0 in a big win for them. Kamada gave Japan the lead in the 1st half and then Ogawa would score Japan's 2nd goal late in the match. It was an impressive performance by the Japanese as they looked clinical and they played some very good technical football. Saudi Arabia 0-2 Japan
  5. The Italians also looked impressive it has to be said, even though it was against modest Israel opposition. But the Italians thrashed the Israelis 4-1, which was nonetheless impressive by them. Italy 4-1 Israel
  6. Ukraine drew 1-1 with the Czech Republic in Poland. Both sides had several key players out through injury, but the draw was a fair result in the end. Cerv scored the Czechs goal, while Dovbyk scored for Ukraine. Ukraine 1-1 Czech Republic
  7. It was an excellent performance by Germany and it was nice to see Leweling score on his debut. The defence was solid, while the German attack was very creative. It was a well deserved win for Germany.
  8. Ukraine are leading Georgia 1-0 at half-time in Poland. Mudryk scored Ukraine's goal, as he collected the ball near the left flank, he then went on a slaloming run, where he cut inside and skipped past about 3 challenges, before he shot from outside the area and found the bottom hand corner of the Georgian net. It was a lovely solo goal by Mudryk and no less than Ukraine deserved, as they had the better of the 1st half. Ukraine 1-0 Georgia
  9. Apart from being a legend in the Bundesliga, Burdenski was also a part of West Germany's 1978 World Cup squad, as well as being a member of West Germany's Euro 1984 squad. Burdenski spent 16 years as goalkeeper for Werder Bremen from 1972 to 1988. It is very sad to hear of his death. R.I.P.
  10. Very sad, he was only 31 and he's also left a young family behind. R.I.P.
  11. Neeskens was a key player in that amazing Dutch national side of the 1970's. It's very sad news to hear of his death, he was only 73 and he was still heavily involved in training up-and-coming coaches. R.I.P. Johan Neeskens
  12. The match between Karlsruhe and Darmstadt finishes in a 3-3 draw. Lidberg's goal for Darmstadt, now means that Lidberg is joint leading scorer in the 2 Bundesliga alongside Schalke's Malian forward Moussa Sylla and Karlsruhe's Georgian striker Budu Zivzivadze on 6 goals. Karlsruhe 3-3 Darmstadt
  13. Darmstadt have played very well so far today away to Karlsruhe. Lidberg scored yet again in the league this season and the Swede is forming a good forward partnership with Scotsman Fraser Hornby. Hornby assisted Lidberg's goal today and at 2-2, Darmstadt have actually looked the better side so far. Karlsruhe 2-2 Darmstadt
  14. Augsburg 1-2 Gladbach Leverkusen 4-1 Kiel Bremen 1-1 Freiburg Union 1-2 Dortmund Bochum 1-2 Wolfsburg St Pauli 1-1 Mainz Heidenheim 1-2 Leipzig Frankfurt 1-2 Bayern Stuttgart 3-1 Hoffenheim
  15. Karlsruhe 3-1 Darmstadt Paderborn 3-1 Regensburg Köln 3-1 Ulm Elversberg 2-2 Lautern Nürnberg 2-1 Münster Schalke 2-2 Hertha BSC Düsseldorf 2-2 Hamburg Magdeburg 2-1 Fürth Braunschweig 1-2 Hannover
  16. Well of course it's true that the US has bases all around the perimeter of Iran. The US has obviously been keeping an eye on Iran for decades and there have been various stand-offs between the two countries over the years. But that's nothing like what the US could start doing if a full-scale war broke out between Israel and Iran. If a war does break out on a large scale in that region, naturally the whole world will be affected. 32% of the world's oil production comes from that region and other countries like the Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the other Gulf states will be dragged into the conflict. Energy prices in this country are inevitably going to be affected, increasing the cost of living for everyone. If it was just Iran and Israel fighting this war, the odds suggest that the Iranians would win. The Iranians have a much larger population from which they can conscript people. Moreover, Iran has a larger army, a larger air force and a much larger navy than Israel. Furthermore, Iran's hypersonic missiles are a real threat and they are almost impossible for the Israeli defence systems to intercept. Israel also have sophisticated weapons, but Israel are geographically miniscule compared to Iran. But as we all know, it's not going to be just Israel v Iran. The US and potentially other nations are going to back Israel all the way. The degree of US involvement will be the deciding factor on who would win any potential full-scale war between Israel and Iran. It's actually quite mad what's going on around the world these days. We have a full-scale war that's been going on in Ukraine over the past 2 years and now an equally brutal war could kick-off in the Middle East.
  17. I think the US will definitely join the war in some form if Israel continually gets hit by missile attacks from Iran. The Americans already assisted the Israelis in shooting down the Iranian missiles. I just hope that we don't join the war on Israel's side. We didn't stop the bombings and massacres in Gaza of the innocent. I think we should stay out of a potential full scale war between Israel and Iran, we should just let them go at it themselves.
  18. I have to agree here, I drove past one of the Israeli protests in London. While I completely empathise with the plight of the captured Israeli hostages, the lack of care by many of these protestors towards the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians is quite shocking. This is where I question the humanity in certain people.
  19. You are inclined to believing the Iranian professor, in that Iran at this stage are not going to back off. If Israel strike Iran with missiles in retaliation, Iran are most likely going to launch another wave of missile attacks on Israel. This has serious implications for the wider region.
  20. Martinez was the man of the match, he made some incredible saves to prevent Bayern Munich from scoring. We have to credit Villa though, as Duran took his chance very well. Neuer should have known better and stayed on his line, but Duran's finish was excellent. That's was a historic win for Villa and they will be delighted with beating Bayern. All of Bayern, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid lost in the Champions League this evening. In fact, all 3 Spanish clubs lost, as Girona also lost their match. So it certainly wasn't a good day for the Spanish teams in the Champions League.
  21. Schalke got an important win away to Preussen Munster and Schalke's Malian forward Moussa Sylla scored both Schalke's goals in their 2-1 win. Sylla is now the joint leading scorer in the 2 Bundesliga so far this season with 6 goals. Sylla, who was the 2nd leading scorer in the French 2nd division(Ligue 2) last season, is again on fire this season, even though he is new to the 2 Bundesliga. However, it really looks like Schalke have got themselves a top forward at this level in 24 year old Moussa Sylla. Preussen Munster 1-2 Schalke
  22. Dortmund 3-1 Bochum Leipzig 2-0 Augsburg Freiburg 3-1 St Pauli Wolfsburg 1-2 Stuttgart Mainz 2-1 Heidenheim Gladbach 1-1 Union Bayern 3-2 Leverkusen Kiel 1-2 Frankfurt Hoffenheim 2-2 Bremen
  23. Fürth 1-2 Düsseldorf Ulm 1-1 Braunschweig Darmstadt 2-2 Magdeburg Hamburg 2-1 Paderborn Regensburg 1-2 Lautern Münster 1-2 Schalke Köln 3-2 Karlsruhe Hannover 2-1 Nürnberg Hertha BSC 2-1 Elversberg
  24. Solanke scores Tottenham's 3rd goal as he tucked home the rebound after the Qarabag keeper could only parry Son's powerful shot from outside the area. Spurs have done well this evening, as they are winning comfortably despite having Dragusin sent off as early as the 9th minute. Tottenham 3-0 Qarabag
