The teams on top had some difficulties to get it going this weekend, all top three clubs were struggling in their matches. Meanwhile an average team like Hannover gets rolling and plays very nice football. Their president is calling for a change in German ownership rules for football clubs. Apparently he wants an English system where millionaires can blow money into a club so they can spend big cash on players. This is forbidden by a 50.1% rule in German football which says that at least 50.1% of the club must be in the hands of the club members. Just imagine what Hannover 96 will do when they get big money for their team. With all the resources and players they have right now they are playing a very good season. Beating Bremen 4-3 at home is something special. With this Bremen lost the chance to jump on top because Bayern wasn't able to score against a horrible Duisburg side which everyone thought to be going down against Munich. Instead there was a goalless draw. At the bottom of the table things are getting tense again with Nuremburg starting to win and Bielefeld getting another beating on the road, this time with a 1-6 loss against Dortmund. Although Bielefeld had a good start into the season they look like they will get relegated by the end of this season. Their coach seems to be on his way out of the club.

Going further down through the leagues SC Fortuna Cologne won again, this time against Kaller SC, a team from the infamous German region of the "Eifel". They went up 2-0 quickly but then lost their concentration and the visiting side was able to equalize in just 2 minutes. But just a few minutes later it was 3-2 and Fortuna secured the win in the 2nd half. The mood and the atmosphere were great and the fans were singing all the way. On the clubs internet site they even posted the links to videos showing the goals. Here's the 5-2 goal by Marco "Stasi" Stasiulewski who has now scored 16 in just as many games.
