Cabeza de serie del Grupo 9 (único pentagonal) y ganador con puntaje ideal, 17 goles a favor y 2
en contra sobre las pálidas Escocia y Noruega y las modestas Macedonia e Islandia.
La clasificación comenzó el 10.09.08 con un
sufrido y limitante triunfo (1-2) en su visita
a Skopje, capital de Macedonia: Van der Vaart selló el triunfo después de que Heitinga lograra
romper la resistencia local.

I'm back ladies and gentlefolk. There have been some cock-ups over the past few days with
Aamir's posts and I have been unable to correct anything because I've had no access. Apologies for
that.
By the way, thanks Aamir for filling in over the past few days.
Now, onto the main story this week; we scored another three goals to secure our passage through
to the Champions League group stages Eduardo has become somewhat of a hate figure in the press (see
the headline) for diving to win a penalty.

I would have thought that Franck Ribery and Franz Beckenbauer now finally agree on something.
The French sensation should have been sold. Der Kaiser has watched new manager Louis van Gaal take
a measly 2 points from his first 3 matches, and, following this weekend, the kings of German
football are sat in a rather peasant-like 14th in the Bundesliga.

Seasons are starting, so not much this time. The final four will be injury updates:
- Luis Fabiano not thinking about Milan.
- Ancelotti denies Pato-to-Chelsea negotiations.
- Pirlo defends Blues snub.
- Fulham gets Dempsey for four more years.
Now some injuries.

Real Madrid have nine days to find €80 million and sign Franck Ribery. After
that deadline, Bayern will pull out of the deal. Captain Van Bommel wants the situation to resolve
as soon as possible so that the team can continue preparations for the new season, with or
without Ribery.

Bayern eventually overcome Klinsmann's bad karma with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Leverkusen and
with referee Thorsten Kinhöfer still confused about what constitutes a penalty nowadays following
the Champions League semis.
Had Klinsmann been still in charge, Bayern would have played poorly and van Buyten and
Demichelis would have conceded a penalty each.

FC Barcelona set up a semi final show down with Chelsea in this year's Champions League with a 1-1
draw against Bayern Munich. Frank Ribery put Bayern in the lead early in the second half but a
stunning strike from Keita kept Barca's unbeaten streak intact. Barca already had the match in bag
after a 4-0 crushing of Bayern at home but they still need to see off this leg and they did it
brilliantly.

Arsenal fans are already dreaming of a repeat of the 2005-06 Champions League final against
Barcelona after the quarter-final first-leg results this week.
______________________________________________________________________________
The Gunners are in pole position to edge out Villarreal after their 1-1 draw in Spain and
providing Arsenal can finish the job at The Emirates they could take on Porto, who hold the upper
hand against Manchester United.

Following this weekend's drubbing at the hands of Wolfsburg, Bayern come into the hardest tie of
the quarter finals of the Champion's League on a low. Can they overcome the humiliation at the VW
to get a result at Camp Nou against arguably the best team in Europe? Yes, they can.
Here's how.

Yaya Touré made his return back to the practice field today after suffering a muscle tear in
his left leg two weeks ago against Malaga. The return of Touré comes just days after Carles Puyol

Bochum 2 – 1 Hamburg
B: Sestak (45) Imhof (83)
H: van der Vaart (pen 86)
Hamburg failed to finish their chances again. This time they were punished for their failure by a
resolute Bochum side. While the tempo of the game was dictated by Hamburg, who owned possession at
61%, it was a late first half injury time goal from newcomer Stanslav Sestak, who mopped a poor
challenge by Nigel de Jong, which opened the scoring in this affair.
