At first, I didn’t want to say anything at all about the UEFA-Cup qualifier against Györ, because it wasn’t enough of a football match to be commented on as such, despite the 2:1 win.

I didn’t see sunday’s match in Hanover and from what I’ve heard, it’d be a waste of time to do so now (I’ve subscribed to the VfB’s “TV” program and while I still can’t watch live matches, I can see them “near live”, meaning after the final whistle has been blown). One bad match is [...]
