Do they still travel by bike during the winter break? That is key to

It has been really cold here on the Iceberg since early November, but

Mainz terrible in the league, but great in Europa?

The Red Bulls are missing Diomande, who might anyway get snatched by

have Timo Werner to step in.

Games in Bremen and Hamburg postponed due to weather. The one in Berlin
is still on.

None of the 4 involved teams are in UEFA competetions, so they could
play them this month.

Yup. what did they get 10-15cm?

Wimpy Germans, here on the Iceberg, we would be cutting a hole in the
ice and swimming or at least wearing shorts and making snow angels and
playing lacrosse and golf and whatever you play in countries that are
not an Iceberg.

Honestly, it was a balmy 7C yesterday and of course I saw people wearing shorts. It is really true, not masking this up, I make a lot of stuff
up, but not this time.

I have not been following the matches though, I was watching Everton
give a display of how NOT to take penals. And the sooner the Limeys understand it is not a "lottery" the sooner they might actually win a
penal shootout.

2017 was a long time ago. Germany was ruled by an unloved CDU/CSU-SPD coalition, Donald Trump was US president, Russia was occupying parts of Ukraine, there was unrest in the Middle East, and the World Cup was
about to be held in country you don't want to visit.

A nice, friendly reminder, especially for those in the habit of missing
the start of a round.

Aargh, that threw me off and made me think that *this* gameweek was
going to be played on Tue/Wed.

A sufficiently evil gamemaster would be delighted with such an outcome.

Oh, well, we'll be back doing the cool kid routine of skipping the

Doubt the algo would have gained much on that 3-3 result.

Binder in the lead so far, but has Pauli to beat Leipzig, which nobody
else has. Binder, Doc and MH all predict a draw in Bremen, with the rest expecting an away win.

So still open with (almost) everyone still in it.
