    Is there anyone that actually cares about these friendlies?

    • Beth

      I get stream from ESPN so anything BVB in my neck of the world is a good thing. Down to 5, Bender out…. hard to see how he gets in starting XI once BVB starts rolling without him.

      BTW.. why is super cup at Munich? Home advantage for the lesser team?

      • Hi Beth, yes, bad luck for our Manni Bender. Supercup is a joke. We wom the cup and the championship, so we had to play versus ourselfs ;-) . There is no offical reason for being at München. Don’t understand it too. Maybe you hit it. ;-)
