Die Mannschaft lost to the Dutch in Hamburg in a Euro 2020 qualifier. Statement win in a big rivalry. Neuer gave up four goals. Northern Ireland leads the group with a match with the Germans in Belfast on Monday.
Germany must win. Meanwhile, France beats Albania, wait, Armenia, no it was Andorra 4-0. Who cares, France would beat anybody 4-0 right now.

Jesse Marsch comes away with a big 6-2 win with FC Salzburg over Genk. Big moment for an American manager in Europe.

Here is the goal of the year, winning the FIFA Puskas award. It is the only professional goal Daniel Zsori has scored ( he is only 18). It was also the 93rd minute game winner for the Debrecen-Ferencvaros match.

Just noticed Freiburg is tied at the top of the Bundesliga thanks to a road win at Bayern. I assume tomnutten is happy.

Pulisic is making the most of his start with Chelsea. Already has a hat trick.
Chelsea fans chanting "USA, USA!"

Looks like Freiburg beat Leipzig to keep pace with Bayern today.
Brighton moves closer to mid table with a win over Everton.

If Pulisic is going to own Burnley this hard, Blackburn surely will try to sign him in the future.

I don't think Brendan Rodgers gets enough credit. The man can flat coach.

I've watched them a few times now and they pass the eye test as well. Arsenal is not a great team, but Leicester out-classed them throughout the game from what I could tell. I can't see them competing with the big 2 this year, but they have to be the favorite for 3rd at this point.
