2 Blackouts. Stuttgart continued to show signs of life in their game against
Sevilla and they continued to produce stupid defensive lapses, which continually cost them the
games. Two such mistakes, coupled with the referee missing an offside position helped Sevilla to a
comfortable 3-1 victory.

I think the jury is still out on
Bayer Leverkusen as title contenders. So far this season
Jupp Heynckes team have beaten Hoffenheim, Freiburg, Bochum, Wolfsburg, Koln and Nurnberg.
Of those six results, only two were against teams from the top half of the table. More pertinently,
when they have played fellow contenders Bayer have come up short.

It wasn't a good weekend for exciting football. It was a good weekend for exciting numbers. Or
rather, a good weekend for those who can find numbers exciting.
619. Tim Wiese has kept a clean sheet for 619 minutes and counting. Remember,
he did so while playing for Werder Bremen.

Das wichtige WM Qualispiel gegen Russland steht vor der Tür und eines ist so sicher wie das
Amen in der Kirche die unumgängliche Torhüterfrage. Alle reden sie von Adler, Enke, Wiese und
Neuer. Aber was ist mit Hans-Jörg Butt, dem alten Haudegen, der sich zur Zeit einen Stammplatz bei
den Bayern erkämpft hat und Michael Rensing ausgestochen hat?

A bitter loss for Werder Bremen in the UEFA-Cup final yesterday, as they were defeated 2-1 by
Schachtjor Donezk in extra-time. Without players like Diego, Per Mertesacker or Hugo Almeida,
Bremen hoped to get through the extra 30minutes and into the penalty shoot-up while having with Tim
Wiese an excellent goalkeeper between the posts.

Why, yes, I did watch the UEFA Cup final last night, and what a smart little encounter it was.
The game was so good, in fact, that for long stretches I forgot to think of it as a referendum on
the entire concept of an alternative tournament to the Champions League, and, heretically, enjoyed
it as merely a football match.

An uninspired Werder Bremen lost the UEFA Cup to Shakhtar Donetsk last night,
after a 2-1 loss in extra time. All three goals were courtesy of Brazilian players. Everyone wants
Dopey Dunga to sit up and take notice!
Luiz Adriano opened the scoring in the 25th minute for the Ukrainian side.

For us fans of German football it was a sad night, but for us football fans, it wasn't. The
Ukraine won their first European title with a team that earned it's victory. And they were an
attractive team to watch with Srna, Luiz Adriano, the Rat and Ilsinho making the core of a very
entertaining side.

Shakhtar Donetsk became the first Ukrainian club (and third from the former Soviet bloc inside five
years) to raise the UEFA Cup with a 2-1 extra time victory over Werder Bremen.After the teams
traded keeper gaffes for a 1-1 result through 90 minutes, Jadson's early overtime roller served as
both Bremen netminder Tim Wiese's second blunder of the night and the winning goal.

Am Donnerstag steigt das dritte von vier Nordderbys in der Hamburger HSH-Nordbank
Arena. Diesmal wird sich entscheiden, wer das Ticket nach Istanbul zum UEFA-Cup
Finale buchen kann. Im Hinspiel in der vergangen Woche konnten sich die Hamburger dank eines
Kopfballtores des Riesen Piotr Trochowski mit 1:0 in Bremen durchsetzen.

May is the dawning of the much-heralded ‘business end to the season', the fitting climax to the
sweat, tears and bloodshed which have been sacrificed to guarantee a euphoric finale. It is the
curtain-fall that differentiates the genuine victors from the once-threatening aspirants and
creates an opportunity to watch mesmerising history unfold in front of our very own eyes.

Bayer Leverkusen and Werder Bremen will be carrying out the final of the national cup
(DFB-Pokal) in Berlin, May 30th.
Leverkusen defeated Mainz 05 from the 2.Bundesliga 4-1 after extra-time already on Tuesday. A
noticeable story from that game is Angelo Charisteas' scoring/acting performance.

Das war es also, das erste von vier Nord-Derbys. Ein würdiger Auftakt der 19-tätigen
Hamburg-Bremen-Festspiele, wie ich finde. Ein Match, das zwar keinen hochklassigen Fußball, aber
hochspannende Unterhaltung bot. Als HSV-Fan muss ich konstatieren, dass das spielerisch einfach zu
wenig war, was die Rothosen vor heimischem Publikum präsentierten.

Auf der Suche nach konstanten Leistungen gibt es an der Weser eine besondere Baustelle: das Tor.
Spielerisch zeigte die Mannschaft von Thomas Schaaf oft gute bis passable Leistungen, doch hinten
sieht es oft ganz düster aus. Tim Wiese ist ja ohnehin eher für Unterhaltung im Zoo
geeignet, als für das Torhüten für einen Champions-League Teilnehmer.

Werder were let down by their play in the final third tonight, but managed a point at the San Siro
against the Italian giants. Inter were in charge at the start of the game and made their advantage
count as they scored in the 13′ when Maicon was allowed free access to the 18 and slotted

Following Rene Adler's shoulder injury, Jogi Löw decided to call up Werder Bremen's Tim Wiese
and give him a "chance". This is how it went for him... He spent some time with Andreas
Köpcke and Robert Enke during training... ..then he spent some time on the bench - around 90
minutes -

Der aktuell beste Bundesliga-Torwart ( zähle ich Jens Lehmann mit? ) René Adler hat sich

Glück nicht auf Tim Wiese zurückgreifen, sondern lassen ihren zweiten Torwart, Benedikt
