First Half; Bayern 1 – 1 Hoffenheim
By: Angela | August 8th, 2009Olic scored in the 25th minute to put Bayern on top 1-0 in the first half. However, a series of mistakes and people not covering their men lead to Edu scoring in the 41st minute and bringing the score 1-1 before the half. The goal by Edu shouldn’t have happened. It was a goal I could’ve made on my FIFA Soccer 2008 and that’s not saying a whole lot. 
Captain Dutch wasn’t happy at all with the performance and pushed a lot more forward, ending up in the defense to clear the ball away himself. I’d love to hear what he has to say and the coach has to say at the half.
Pranic might take some of the focus off of van Bommel as far as aggressiveness goes. Maybe someone else will have a share of yellows as well. He’s pretty aggressive and does some things that probably would’ve gotten Mark in trouble. I wonder how often he’ll get booked.
Some commenting has gone on Luke’s Lineup post. Feel free to leave your thoughts here as well on the second half. Here’s hoping the second half will show a better performance.

I’m glad the Bundesliga hasn’t instituted an instant replay rule. It should be 2-1 to the home side.
I love Olic’s energy all over the field. Sometimes as a striker, less is more. He put a nice little lovetap on the ball, one that Poldi would have put a meter over the goal.

You’re absolutely right about the 2-1. It’s lucky in that respect.
Agreed on that as well. He seems to be working really well this match. I look forward to seeing what he can bring to the table in the future.

Sorry, but sometimes need to give the opposition a little credit and that was a great goal by hoffenheim. There is no way we’ll get 34 clean sheets… goals happen… The sad part was Schweini getting robbed in the 60th minute… if only rensing would make stops like that, we’d be golden. I really can’t agree with you on Hoffenheim’s goal though, Angela… The play in the middle of that by Ibisevic was great. The only really bad defense I saw was when the referees kind of missed one…

Pranjic will get away with a lot more than VB simply because he’s tiny- he’s only 5′7″!
About Olic, I only wish he showed such composure for Croatia…Posted from
