Bundesliga Matchday 8: The Tragedy of Errors
By: Jan | 3 Comments
Establishing something comparable to England’s Big Four remains a distant dream for last season’s top four in the Bundesliga. Wolfsburg are 7th after disappointingly drawing with Bochum. Munich are 8th after disappointingly drawing with Cologne. Stuttgart are 13th after disappointingly losing to Bremen. Hertha courageously defended the last place by disappointingly losing to Hamburg.
Defense. Werder [...]
