Who said that?

I've found a good stream so I should be able to watch the match. Great game to start the season with.

Looks like there is a great atmosphere at the ground.

@Germans

Hitzlsperger, Schäfer, Hilbert, Asamoah, Kuranyi, Ernst...

One of the problems with gol tv is that the commentators do occasionally go a bit over the top, that and the constant adverts for hair-loss products!

First dive of the season?

Dear commentator: Meira and Bordon don't just play in the same position--they played ALONGSIDE each other not that long ago...

Gomezzzzz. Hanke. Benny Lauth. Kiessling.

He's quite good--I'm pretty excited to see what 'extra ten-twenty per cent' we can get out of him.

Corner to Stuttgart, ball ends up somewhere up the field and Hilbert ends up taking a long range shot that ends up nowhere near the goal.

Game starts off very well.

I thought Gomez was Spanish , not your typical German name

btw anyone have a link for the game ?
