DFB Pokal 25 QFs

[Binder Dundat]

So far Bayer and Stuttgart have won their QF matches. No teams named
Bayern left in the competition, which is nice.

Somehow Bremen are still left and they have an easy match against 3rd
div Bielefeld, what could possibly go wrong? This must be a win for
Bremen today. Running Bulls play VW tomorrow in the final QF match.

Even though there is no Euro cup football this midweek, there is quite a
bit of football. Messi's team play tonight, as well as the Copa
Libertadores matches and CONCACAF cup matches. Not only is Messi now in
CONCACAF, but Neymar has returned to Brazil. Did he ever play a match
in Saudi?
Barca play Atletico in the Spanish Cup, Inter play Lazio in the
Italian Blueshirt Derby. Even the WWEpl have an English week!

Nothing could go wrong. Well maybe a really nice shot for the first goal
and a 2-0 Bielefeld lead at the half, with Them looking morel likely to
get a third then Werder a first.

Not watching, but barca are down 0-2 after 6 minutes.

The last time Arminia made it to the DFB Pokal semifinals, they also
knocked off three BL clubs, and one of them was Werder.

They now get a home semifinal, but I can't see them beating any of
Bayer, Stuttgart, or the winner of RB Leipzig and Wolfsburg.

Still won, though, but perhaps not by a wide enough margin to go through
on aggregate if Atleti do their usual home routine.

Didn't it end 4-4, with Atleti roaring back in the last five minutes
after going 4-2 down?

It did indeed. I thought 4-3 was the final after a quick glance through
the results but that was at 93 minutes or something.

That was probably the match to watch yesterday. Real won their first leg
semi final away at San Sebastian. So Real vs barca or Atleti final
coming up.

Meanwhile today in the Pokal, Red Bull deservedly win and are with
Armenia, VfB and Bayer in the Semifinals. I think they have draw, so we
dont know who gets to play Bayer.

Elsewhere, Jj lost on penals to Empoli and are out. Inter won yesterday
and face AC Milan in one semi while Empoli get Bolonga.

Liverpool are WWEpl Royal Rumble champions. None of the other
participants are even trying. The WWEpl really have to make these things
more entertaining, non stop Manager interviews will not sustain this
Sports Entertainment Industry! The Limeys are only so dumb, even they
will tire of it soon.

The CONCACAF Champions Cup is on, I dont know if that is the same as the
CONCACAF Championsliga? What I do know is Inter Miami are through and I
heard that Messi bit the head off one of the linesmen.

Boca fail to qualify for the Copa Libertadores, losing on penals to
Lima. Cavani not only missing a penal, but missing an open goal a few
minutes earlier which would have eliminated the need for penals.

Yes, Cavani's miss was incredible, but he didn't miss his PK. The young
goalkeeper that came in just for the shootout, though, didn't stop a
single penalty.

Tchau!

Liverpool are WWEpl Royal Rumble champions.

It feels like it after Liverpool have won 5 points on Arsenal in two
games. You wouldn't have expected Man City (A) + Newcastle (H) to be a
(much) better schedule than West Ham (H) + Forest (A).

Chelsea (A) and Arsenal (H) seems to be biggest hurdles for Liverpool in
the remainder of the season. Opta gives a 98,76% of a Liverpool title.

At the other end, this year's Premier League has the dullest relegation
"battle" in recorded history.

The Arse couldn't win the Premier League when they were top of
the Premier League at Christmas two season's running... what
hope of they now when they've nobody up front? Liverpool WILL
win the Premier League. That isn't even in question now.

Arteta is just a spoofer. He promises much but fails to
deliver... again.
