The English FA should have given us the first match there, it's beyond pointless now anyway.

Brilliant run by Castelen, shot hits the side netting.

Castelen is fast as hell.

Good shot by Gekas after a good counter by Leverkusen.

Leverkusen remain dangerous on the counter.

Zidane ruins what could have been a great chance for Hamburg. Awful.

Great shot by VDV, absolutely brilliant save by Adler. Save of the matchday for sure, absolutely top class.

Gekas ruins a great opportunity for Leverkusen.

Hamburg vs. Leverkusen 0:0 HT

Great match so far, Hamburg especially look very good. No booing as far as Van Der Verrat is concerned.

Cottbus vs. Bochum 0:2 HT


A good start of the season for Bochum.

Good save by Adler after a dangerous free kick by VDV.

HSV are wasting too many good chances, this could cost them.

I'm watching a stream on bwin and you can hear a dog barkly rather loudly which is a bit strange. Hamburg hit the post.

Zidane hits the post!

Like I said, Kompany could make the difference for HSV this year. For those who have been critical of him earlier, I suggest watching this match. He is great again.

Skela scores for Cottbus against Bochum, making it 1:2.

Penalty for Hamburg! hand ball against Leverkusen, deserved penalty. Leverkusen had a hand ball in the penalty area a few minutes earlier also.

VDV scores! 1:0 Hamburg!

How typical, VDV scoring after all the controversy of the last few days.

Yeah, the irony is overwhelming.

*pointing at my sig*

If he stays, I expect us to take the piss out of them for that comment.

f@ck! Barnetta hits the crossbar with a header, after a free kick by Schneider.

Great chip by VDV, great save by Adler.

Another great save by Adler. Best Leverkusen player on the pitch by a mile.

VdV playing like his usual world class self?

How is Castelen?

Good we have financed Castelen for Stellingen...the HSV should print "sponsored by Werder Bremen" on his shirt.

He had a few great runs, but he has no end product, his crosses / finishing has been sub par. But he looked very lively.

Don't worry, he'll be injured in a week or two.

We (over-)paid them ~€5M for Sanogo, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to buy Castelen / it would have been less likely.

Finally a very good cross by Castelen, Guerrero almost scores a header.

castelen with another cross in.

VDV almost scores after a counter!
