Going Deutsch

The play-offs have arrived on Going Deutsch: Stuttgart take a big advantage over HSV by winning 3-0 in the first leg, whilst Wehen's shocking 4-0 win over Arminia Bielefeld is marred by fan trouble that could see DSC heavily punished. Elsewhere in the world of German football, Wolfsburg lose the Women's Champions League Final against Barcelona and Finaltag der Amateure sees Illertissen beat 3. Liga Ingolstadt, Elversberg end the season with another trophy, and Makkabi Berlin become the first Jewish club to win one of the regional trophies (which I forgot to mention in the pod as I was too busy boasting about winning the same trophy with TeBe Berlin). Also on the pod: Pal Dardai is staying at Hertha, Daniel Farke is leaving Gladbach, and Alex questions the point of Augsburg.

On this week's Going Deutsch: Schalke, Hertha, Augsburg, and Hoffenheim win in the battle against the drop, as the relegation race gets tighter with three games to go, Dortmund put six past Wolfsburg as they show chasing is easier than being chased, and Köln win against local rivals Leverkusen. In the Zweite, Darmstadt have their promotion party on hold after losing 3-0 to St. Pauli, Heidenheim choke in a 0-0 draw against Magdeburg, and HSV drop vital points in a 2-2 with Paderborn, whilst Eintracht Braunschweig and Hansa close in on safety.

NOTE: The Eintracht Frankfurt segments of this episode were recorded before the announcement that Oliver Glasner would be leaving the club at the end of the season, which makes certain comments in the DFB Pokal segment a tad bit awkward.

In the Zweite; HSV lose to Magdeburg as Heidenheim and Darmstadt take advantage, Sandhausen continue their recent good form with a 2-1 win against Jahn Regensburg, and Fortuna Düsseldorf leave it late to beat Karlsruher.

On this week's Going Deutsch: the title race in the Bundesliga takes an unexpected twist as Bayern implode against Mainz and Dortmund somehow don't implode against Eintracht Frankfurt, that gives BVB the lead with five to go whilst further down the table, Hertha show a lack of defensive ability in a 4-2 loss to Werder Bremen, Wolfsburg win 5-1 against Bochum in the most even lopsided game of all time, and Schalke have a null vier loss to Freiburg. In the Zweite, Darmstadt edge closer to promotion, Andreas Luthe puts in an inspiring performance in an uninspiring game, and a bad thing happens. Also on the pod: there's only one team left in Europe, a look at Germany's fourth tier(s), Arminia Bielefeld's confusing special kit, and Pál Dárdai's lack of appreciation for a Spanish culinary staple.

Side note: TWO WINS FOR THE KRAKEN!!!

On the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, muppetational episode of Going Deutsch: Bayern draw 1-1 with Hoffenheim but see their lead at the top of the Bundesliga remain the same thanks to the most stupid Dortmund performance of the season, Sandro Schwarz is sacked by Hertha after a 5-2 loss to Schalke, and two goals in four minutes gives Freiburg a valuable win against Werder Bremen. In the Zweite, St. Pauli lose their winning streak with a 2-1 defeat against Braunschweig, there are also losses for Darmstadt and HSV in the race for promotion whilst Heidenheim win 3-0 away at Hannover, meanwhile Sandhausen close the gap at the bottom in their first game under Gerhard Kleppinger. Also on the pod, the boredom of Wolfsburg vs Leverkusen, a weird/unlucky goal in the Kiel vs Nurnberg game, and lots of references to The Muppets for literally no reason whatsoever.

Also - Let's Go Kraken!!!
