I think I ask this every time but does Green's appearance lock him to the Fatherland or can he still decide for USA? Thanks again.

Lol, you did ask the same question before and no it doesnt. I think once you have 3 international caps for the senior team your are bound to that nation....

With all the racism discussion lately, before I saw Firefox's reply I thought you meant "black" by "appearance".

Question regarding Raeder. Why has he not been playing? It doesn't seem like he's injured. Been seeing Zingerle playing more often recently? Or are both of them being rotated?

Also how many matches will FCBII plays? On what months will the regionalliga ends? I just realized it's matchday 21 already!!! Quite anxious to see them to be able to play in the qualifier for the 3rd tier.

Im not 100% about the GK. situation but it looks like Raeder and Zingerle are being rotated since i haven't found any reports on either of them being injured. The Regionaliga Bayern has 38 match days but they have a very long winter break that lasts around 2 to 3 months so the season ends in May like most leagues in Europe, then comes the qualifiers. Bayern II usually plays a lot of friendly matches during the long winter break.

19 year old Friesenbichler was called up for the Austria U21s for the first time

Kevin Friesenbichler scored his first goal for Austria U21

Wow, 3 minutes in his U21 debut too from what I can see, or had he played in the previous U21 matchday?

Must have been his second match. His debut was against Turkey. Good for him still though, and it is nice seeing Schöpf is also playing from your screenshot.

I guess i wasnt clear on the previous post when i mentioned him getting called up to the U21s. But if Friesenbichler is able to keep performing well he may find himself with a contract like Green and his fellow country man Schopf. The striker position is one of the few places Bayern doesnt have a world class player in or a lot of depth like in the midfield. If he has any ambitions on playing for the senior team the opportunity is very much his to take and i would love a youngster to be able to come up the ranks.

I forgot to mention Bayern II winger Vladamir Rankovic got his first cap for the Germany U20s last Thursday in a friendly vs Italy U20s

How are other teams faring in the other Regionalligen? As a reminder, if FC Bayern II win the Regionalliga Bayern, they will play a playoff against a champion of another Regionalliga (or the runner up of Regionalliga Südwest).

Regionalliga Nord: leaders are Wolfsburg II and Goslarer SC both with 45 points in 22 matches.
Regionalliga Nordost: TSG Neustrelitz have taken a 7 point lead with 43 points in 17 matches.
Regionalliga West: Fortuna Köln are 4 points clear with 51 points in 23 matches.
Regionalliga Südwest: 2 get into the playoffs. 1st are SG Sonnenhof Großaspach with 43 points in 21 matches while in 2nd place there are SC Freiburg II on 39 points but having played a game less.

In the meantime in the Regionalliga Bayern, Bayern München II lead the table with 57 points in 24 matches.

TSG Neustrelitz are looking the scariest to be honest.

It would be such a drag if Bayern lose in the promotion playoffs after such a great season.

Benno Schmitz, Vladimir Rankovic and Mitchell Weiser have been called up to Germany U20.
Julian Green will go to a training camp with the senior US national team, and thus misses his appointment to Germany U19.
Alessandro Schoepf and Kevin Friesenbichler have been called up to Austria U21
