Bundesliga - Day 33: Two decisions on the last day of play

VfL Wolfsburg - VfB Stuttgart 4:0
MSV Duisburg - Bayern München 2:3
Hansa Rostock - Bayer Leverkusen 1:2
Hertha BSC - 1. FC Nürnberg 1:0
Energie Cottbus - Hamburger SV 2:0
Karlsruher SC - VfL Bochum 1:3
Arminia Bielefeld - Borussia Dortmund 2:2
Werder Bremen - Hannover 96 6:1
FC Schalke 04 - Eintracht Frankfurt 1:0

Most of the season is settled now that there is only one day of matchplay left on the calendar. Bayern are champions and that's what most of the public said at the start of the season anyway. The same goes for Schalke and Bremen in 2 and 3 so there is some sort of boredom. 4 teams are still in the race for the two remaining Uefa-Cup spots, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Leverkusen and Wolfsburg are all tied at 51 points, that should be interesting next week. The real fight will be in the cellar though with Nürnberg and Bielefeld battling it out. Nürnberg has to win, Bielefeld's goal difference is horrible so a draw won't help them.

Meanwhile downstairs in the 2nd division 1.FC Cologne gained a promotion spot today and now the whole city is going crazy. And because tomorrow is a national holiday I suspect they will keep this up the whole night. Honestly if they hadn't made it they would have been the laughing stock of the nation for the next few seasons. They pumped an enormous amount of money into the team and still they weren't able to come up with decent results over a long period. I wouldn't be too surprised if they go down again. after the season.

The most important matches for me will be played in the 5th division though. Fortuna Cologne will face city rivals FC Junkersdorf tomorrow and if they win this their chances for promotion will be saved at least for another round. After their glorious win over Spvgg Wesseling-Urfeld everybody around the team is confident that they can come up with the results they need. And if now 1st place VfL Leverkusen struggles over the next few games we will have a final showdown at their homeground on the last day of the season. What more can you wish for. If the really go up one league this will be their first promotion in 25 years. Is there a better way to celebrate that anniversary?
