Football Friends Germany October 7

Tonight's presentation featured the movie "The Miracle of Bern", the well-known 2003 movie that I will repeat upon request.

After seven weeks of the Bundesliga, Hamburger SV is still on top of the table, with last year's champions in eleventh!

Internationally, Germany is gearing up for two home games in World Cup qualifying the next week: first, at home on Saturday, October 11 to main group rival Russia, then at home to secondary challenger Wales on Wednesday.

The German Cup is finished for the fall and will resume again in the winter without any teams from the 3. Liga or lower.

Five German clubs have reached the UEFA Cup Group Stage (only Borussia Dortmund missed out, and narrowly so), and Bayern München and Werder Bremen are playing tough in Champions League, if not spectacularly (neither team has lost a game through the first two matchdays.)
