Okay, well it is time for the match. I have no clue about the line up or anything. I thought it might be fun to have a live thread for the match for if anyone will be watching. I have to leave about half way through the second half to go to work, but it can be fun until then. Tomorrow there is a friendly against Kaiserslautern. On Saturday and Sunday we have the LigaTotal Cup. On Saturday we face Werder Bremen. I am hopeful of our chances against them. We need to start this whole season off on a positive foot.

I think, according to the footage that I am watching right now (German is so not that good) that the Paulner XI beat us last year when we played this match. Let's hope there is not a repeat of that. I would really like to see a win. I would also like to see us try out Bads and Dante as the CBs to see what happens. I would like to see some more formation experimentation so we know what options we have in the upcoming season.

What are you all looking for in this match?

And because no article is really complete without picture... here are two of my favorite Alaba/Rafinha pictures from the recent photoshoot...

Get well soon, boys! We look forward to your return!!!
