Can We Play You Every Week

The so far dismal start to the season by Der Lowen has been given light thus far by one team. MSV Duisberg. After providing the Blue of Munich with their only league win of the season, they were drawn to play again at the Allianz Arena in the DFB Cup, the German equivalent of our very own FA Cup. After 90 minutes of scoreless play it was into extra time, where neither team could break the dead lock. In the penalty shootout, form what I can make out, TSV scored the decisive penalty with a rebound off the Duisberg keeper, although I could be wrong, my German reading skills lie somewhere between atrocious and awful. next up, on Sunday is the world famous FCIngolstadt 04, who hail from somewhere called Ingolstadt, of course, a town of some 117,000 folk somewhere in Bavaria. It is there first season in the Bundesliga, having only been formed in 2004, so they will probably kick our arse's. The draw for the last 16 of the cup is on the 5/10.
