For now, I'm pretty excited about them and check the <a href="http://www.tsg-hoffenheim.de/4news.php?d[abteilung]=Das%20neue%20Stadion&ueberschrift=Das+neue+Stadion" rel="nofollow">webcam</a> of the stadium construction pretty regularly.

There's the clip and a full transcript at http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2008/08/15/german_soccer/. Do you know if there are actually discussions of relaxing the rule about non-club ownership? I seem to recall some worrying about whether Hoffenheim was going to be a start of a trend, but not specifically linking it to changing the ownership rules.

And yes, I am having the TV on with the match. And thanks for the birthday greetings as well. It may be 16 August here (damn the time difference) but I don't care. The Bundesliga is beginning on my birthday, 15 August, and that is already a great birthday present by itself. You can read Chris's preview of the match and he did threw in...how old am I now. A very significant age as well. Or at least in the eyes of the law here. Regarding No.1, when I was watching the magazine programme (it's called GOAL!) on the pay-TV here on Thursday, it did explained that. Still, I am a little clueless at the end of it. Need some time to figure that out myself. I like your No.3, Jan. ;) I can’t stop giggling. And yes, I am having the TV on with the match. And thanks for the birthday greetings as well.
