The Bundesliga was on its' worst behavior ever. According to the referees, who
dished out a league record 5 straight red cards. Tim Wiese kicked off proceedings with a foul
outside the box, following one of his kamikaze excursions. He equalled Oliver Kahn's 3 career total
red cards in the Bundesliga and is only two away from Jens Lehmann's five red cards.
The captain meeting his future team mate?
First Champions League match out of the way then. Draw was the final result and it was a fair
reflection on the game. Both sides went about with their usual tactics but the home side had the
upper hand of things in most parts. Like I said yesterday, I would take a draw if it was given to
me.
Oh God! What does one say after a game like that. Great fighting spirit and a gritty display for
a well-earned away point at a difficult venue? Terrible performance that shows the Gunners just
aren't good enough anymore? I guess it depends on one's mentality and the spin that suits it. As
mentioned in the preview, I wasn't expecting a win but a more assured performance would have been
encouraging for the future.

of in Week 6 of Women's Professional Soccer. The Flash played yet another game at home on Friday
night and handed the Boston Breakers a 3-2 loss. The Atlanta Beat was also at home this week, and
the visiting Philadelphia Independence made a huge comeback to win the match 2-1 playing most of
the match a man down on Sunday evening.
English speaking BVB fans are on cloud nine. Their German speaking counterparts are on cloud
seven. But maybe there's a way to bring the two together for the big party on May 14th. Roman
Weidenfeller will volunteer as a translator. A 2-0 victory over Nuremberg clinched Dortmund's
seventh German championship and the first title after nine years, thanks to Leverkusen doing, what
Leverkusen does best.
