As long as the clubs and those bums in power dont do anything this is what you will see happen. Almost all their sponsors are fake as fuck.

Pulisic has three games with the USMNT  Jan 27- Feb 3. Concacaf World Cup Qualifying is 2/3 finished.

Should not be a problem for us still... Lukaku, Havertz, Werner, Mount, CHO and Ziyech. 6 players for 3 positions. Ziyech is not going to AFCON so all fine.

Help me decide the better watch. Bayren vs Augsburg or QPR vs Luton?

It seems even Bayern are affected by the int. break hang over. Augsburg are a technically fine team with a few physical, combative guys (esp like Andre Hahn who turned pro very late but compensates his lack of technique with aggression and tirelss running) but nothing top quality. Usually a pointless, lower half-midtable team aiming for 40 points to spend the last few matchdays on the beach.

Strange that Bayern had to play on Friday after international break..

 

Anyways, I don’t expect Dortmund wilp be able to compete them all season long, even if they win this weekend and sneak up on Bayern.

Nah Bayern will win the title again but not in a dominant fashion I think. Bayern quite often have a mediocre start to the season but there is never one team resilient and consistent enough to get ahead. And even if they do, the difference in squad depth and mentality is key in the business end.

I would even say that Dortmund will never win  a big title as long as Watzke is in charge. He is not a football man and has never given anyone a fair chance as coach after his best buddy Kopp left. All he does is collecting cash by selling their most prized assets. Bayern themselves have recognised that RB Leipzig are closest (albeit still remote) to a rival now due to their ability to maintain a quality squad for longer witht heir rich resources. The manouvre of buying their best defender, midfielder and coach speaks volumes. Any coach could win the title with the infrasctructure in place in Munich so why not poach the one who spent years developing the main rival and have him bring along his favourite players.
