Since the thread of Spanish football was so insightfull I thought a piece on German football would be nice.
The Bundesliga is one of the most dynamic and exciting leagues in terms of attacking football. The Germans have finally turned to their youth rather than spend big bucks on foreigners. I for one think that German football is once again ready to post a steady challenge on World Football. Some of the youths are some of the most exciting & inventive footballers on view. Certainly better than many of the English, Italian and Dutch youths. Look out for Germany (again).

Agreed, but not to be overlooked is the contribution of the many young foreigners plying their trade in the Bundesliga. We know of the Neven Subotics and the Shinji Kagawas, but there are other lesser-known foreigners making quite a name for themselves in the League. Among them are players like Ashkan Dejagah, Marcus Berg, Ronny and Levian Kenia. Dejagah is 25 but the others are all 23 and under and all up and coming talents.

No denying that Bakes My reference was simply based on the fact that, like Italy, Germany was always hesitant to blood young players in the League. Just about 6 years ago the captain of Germany's U20 would not even start in Bundesliga 2.
Now I follow the league regularly and for me it is an exciting time in German football

I find Dortmund plays with more discipline and organization than Bayern. Bayern however, have more experienced campaigners

Yep-they have players all over the field who can win matches for them on any given day. Including the goalie. Speed and skill kills! I am interested in seeing how Jose intends to tuh approach dem.

Bayern defense will be their downfall. That back line cannot handle Real

Bayern defense is shaky. Dortmund almost made it 2 in the final minute - just waltzed right up but got cleared off the line. Ah well, still have a shot at Champions.

Robben was the goat today...

Missed a penalty and a point blank opportunity from a rebound off the Dortmund crossbar.

Looking like Dortmund's title to lose.
