Bundesliga: Day Four - back to normal

Werder Bremen - Eintracht Frankfurt 2:1
Hertha BSC Berlin - VfL Wolfsburg 2:1
Hannover 96 - VfL Bochum 3:2
FC Energie Cottbus - 1.FC Nürnberg 1:1
FC Hansa Rostock - Borussia Dortmund 0:1
MSV Duisburg - Arminia Bielefeld 3:0
FC Schalke 04 - Bayer Leverkusen 1:1
KSC - Stuttgart 1:0
HSV - München 1:1

So we are back to normal in the German Bundesliga after we had three rounds of surprises. All teams at the top of the table lost today, the big names all won. Bochum, Bielefeld and Frankfurt were cut back to size in today's matches. Dortmund and Bremen won. The only surprising result would be Duisburg's win against Bielefeld.
In yesterday's evening game Schalke and Leverkusen played a 1-1 draw which leaves both teams in the middle of nowhere. Heck, some writers even say that Schlake is off to a bad start. C'mon, we only had four games up until now and Schalke hasn't lost a single one of them. Let's face it from this angle, huh?

But maybe they are all too concerned with what's happening down south. The Munich star ensemble takes action tomorrow against Hamburg, a match which might come a few weeks to early for Hamburg since it looks like they are starting to roll. They advanced to the Uefa-Cup on Thursday in quite impressive fashion (winning 4:0 at home against Hungarian Honved). The other Sunday game will be the southern derby between Karlsruhe and Stuttgart. Their rivalry is so heated that when Karlsruhe was promoted from 2nd division lasts eason they were singing "stuttgart - sons of bitches" at their promotion party at the city hall. This caused some stir down there. Stuttgart should win this though, especially since they have Mario Gomez back in their line up.

UPDATE:
So Bayern lost their first points at Hamburg today which only goes to show that even a great team with lots of individual talent can't win every game. I was only able to watch the first half, but that also didn't look like Bayern was the dominating team. In fact it looked like they were playing just as strong as Hamburg did.
Stuttgart lost to Karlsruhe and that will be hauting Stuttgart for the rest of the series, I guess. It's a derby, it's a rivalry, so you don't want to lose that game.

A little trivia: today Eintracht Frankfurt made European football history by fielding Takahara Naohiro and Inamoto Junichi and thus being the first club in European football to have to Japanese players on the pitch. Yes, folks, this is what German media is talking about. It's all about the records.
