Where do you live? ESPN+ has Bundesliga and Serie A here in the States .One sub for two great leagues. I watch Russian Premier League, MLS, and the two listed above, but we have Hulu, Netflix, Apple TV, HBO Max, and probably a few more I'm forgetting.

Nice. Yeah, I joined Augsburg last year, and so it's nice to re-up with them for year 2. I also placed a fairly large order for shirts and kits as you can't really find a site that sells knock offs for cheap, so I went ahead and got a home, away, and 3rd, plus 4 shirts, and some sweatbands that I'll wear for tennis.

I'm not sure you can watch it though not being in Germany, unless you VPN in. I'm tired of paying for streams as I have too many anyways, but would love to catch the 2nd and 3rd divisions this year.

Well - I believe that I've finally paid for Year 2 of my Augsburg membership. Thank you @Tommy for being on call, but I got in touch with my bank and was able to just directly transfer the funds. Now it's just about waiting for confirmation, but here. we. go!

Naw - as I have mentioned many times in the past. I respect Bayern Munich for (at least appearing) to run such a good organization, but that's as fas my that goes.

Yeah - that's actually my phone carrier (although it's know as T Mobile here), but that isn't a bad deal. German hockey and 3. Liga? Hell yeah.

Any ideas how to catch the games online?

@Tommy - Do you ever watch the Deutche Eishockey Liga?

Draxler turned it around with PSG got Poch. He just played an AM role and was able to create a lot of chances, sadly it wasn't as many games we would have liked, but he certainly has been playing better. Also sad, is that he just extended his contract there until 2024, which is frustrating as I'd rather he come back to Bundesliga. Also, why not give Arnold a shot? Dude has been great for a couple of years now for Wolfsburg and works his ass off.

Does BILD do their player rankings differently cause this makes no sense...?

@Tommy - We can move it here where it belongs - Why does Low hate Draxler so much? Never understood why is isn't in the squad. I still think want Germany is missing is a large forward. A Lukaku type of player that can hold up play, use his body well, and score when needed. Kai is just dying for someone else to have speed so that he can start tearing up defenses to bits, but a lot of his passes were to slower people and it just wasn't connecting well.

So genuine question, how or what would you have done differently tonight? Obviously Gnabry was awful, but I see what he was trying to do. Muller missed the absolute chance of a lifetime, Havertz played well and did about as good as can be expected. Hummels has been awful, but I didn't think he had a terrible game. Kimmich was locked down, but that isn't a massive shock.... But I'm curious as to what you all would have done different.

So fantastic, but the finals are the Lightning vs the Habs. The Habs...the 18th best team in the NHL during the regular season. Would probably tear up if Price can get a Stanley Cup, fully deserved with the career he's had.

So like a lot of Trump supporters? Got it.

Because he was the one that wanted the lockdown? or something else?

I don't keep up with UK politics to this level, but was Hancock despised before this?

Really? I was unaware their was a rivalry between the two sides. Wiki told me about a rivalry with Schalke, though

Ah, @Rucksackfranzose what a cracking match that was! RW won 1-0 thanks to a horrid backpass from some dude with a great 'stache and short shorts, and then the RW player with a similar style in facial hair and shorts just rifled it home. Looking back, this was the year that RW was relegated from the Bundesliga, and it was their last year since being in the top division. No idea why it's a classic, but hell, it was fun to watch.

I would have loved something like that when I was kid, but we didn't really have anything like it that I'm aware of. What age group is the intended audience? I'm thinking early teens by the look of it?

@Rucksackfranzose - am I missing something here? I went on ESPN+ (local provider of Bundesliga) and they had 'classic' matches from years past. The first one on the list included your truly, plus my wife's team (she lived in Essen for a year) from the 1976-77 season For some reason it's less than 50 minutes long...

Yeah - I'm very excited about it, and somewhat ashamed I haven't already read Artemis, but my goal is to read it this week, and follow it up with Weir's 3rd novel next week.

This week I'm reading -

That is absolutely brilliant. Well done lads...well done.

@nudge - Did you get a chance to watch the Porsche SuperCup Practice just now? Absolutely pouring during the last half, and it sounds like it'll be similar weather this weekend.

Nope - never use it.
