There are fewer finer sights in football than Werder Bremen in full flow. One day, they'll have a
decent start to the season and the rest of Europe will see what they can really do in the Champions
League as they outscore their opposition until they hit some tedious brick wall of doom like
Chelsea or Inter or Real.
In the end it was route one. A lump up the field by Michael Rensing, Luca Toni's easily won header,
a rare moment of sloppiness in the Hoffenheim defence gifting the ball back to the Italian who
gratefully put the ball through the keeper and into the net. It was the 92nd minute and Bayern had
completed their comeback to deny Hoffenheim the point they thoroughly deserved.
Bayern don't like it up 'em, do they? The build-up to last Friday's Big One against Hoffenheim was
all about snide remarks between the two camps. The game itself was a cracker and even prompted and
unprecedented Bundesbag match report in the early hours of Saturday morning.
However, the sniping has continued after the game which suggests that the Hoff have really riled
the champs.
The unofficial Autumn Championship may not be the most prestigious title in world football.
However, it is Hoffenheim's title and no one else's. Mind you they clinched it in a pretty
unconvincing way with a 1-1 draw against Schalke who were down to nine men.
The Bundesbag was bold enough to predict that the Hoff would come unstuck in this fixture and was
proved right in a way (although in a more accurate way I was wrong, but never mind).
