This will be a good one. 9:30am allows for a little sleep in, and breakfast at the Cock’n Bull can’t be beat. Will Auba score the hat trick? Will Reus continue his torrid form? Will Shinji score again?

Meetup: Bayer Leverkusen vs. Borussia Dortmund in SM
Back to the more difficult matches and still at 6:30am. Join the Scottish Breakfast Club at sunrise. We’re slowly fighting our way through any teams that may challenge for a Champion’s League spot, and this is definitely one of them.
Der Klassiker 2 – BVB vs. Bayern
This is it! Nobody else can be counted on to beat Bayern, so we’ll have to do it ourselves!
All Los Angeles Bundesliga fans are welcome. Wirtshaus will be open early and we expect a huge crowd.
Huge Turnout Leads to Best Saturday Ever!
With Gladbach destroying Bayern, the day was already started on a happy note. Most of us had been up early to watch and we were revved up for Wolfsburg. But how would the team react? Five starters out with the flu. Wolfsburg undefeated at home for 29 matches. Optimism was hard to come by.
Of course, Tuchel had it all worked out. The CB combination of Subotic and Bender were up to the task, and the usual possession game was thrown out in favor of a constant midfield press.
Still, our bad luck streak seemed to continue: from the crossbar hit on Ilkay’s free kick right up to a soft penalty call at the 90th minute. It felt like things could not go our way until a completely “against the run of play” pass from Miki to Shiji in the last minute. The curse of the away jerseys is broken!
Thanks to everyone who turned up. Our biggest turnout yet in Santa Monica. See you all next week for Frankfurt.
