Probably because it's Liga Total (The IPTV service of Deutsche Telekom), so there are some of the teams in which they are sponsors.

YEA, last year i was on weding and didnt watch games, now i have SAT1 on IPTV and i will watch game

14 days left for our first "serious" test (vs HSV, 19/07/2011, 20:30 CET). I am looking forward to see Neuer and Rafinha in action

Are playing a friendly against Hamburg tomorrow? ESPN3 has it listed.

Nevermind, just saw this is part of Liga Total Cup. I'm so excited I'm gonna be able to watch it!

This will be a fun tournament -- especially with attacking teams like Mainz and Dortmund. HSV and their relatively new squad should be interesting -- a bunch of Chelsea youth. I think we will beat HSV, and it would be great to play against Dortmund and smoke them.

Dortmund is playing good football as always

They are playing with this weird lineup



----------------Lewandowski-------------------
Perisic------------Kagawa---------------Götze
---------------Leitner----Kehl-------------------
Grosskreutz--Subotic--Hummels---Piszczek
--------------Weidenfeller-----------------------


Götze hit the post a few minutes earlier

I really really respect and get annoyed by Mainz's work rate. Like i said, last season the only team to really school us was Mainz in our first match with them, their pressing football (tactically sound) really caused us a lot of trouble in LVG possession playstyle.

They are again doing a decent job vs Dortmund, but Dortmund doesn't hold onto the ball uselessly , they attack and attack quickly when they have ball and so Mainz is effective but not as effective as they were against us.

Half time. Dortmund had 2 great goal chances (Kagawa missed an empty goal and Götze hit the post) while Mainz didn't have any. Well, Ivanschitz had a good run in the final minute but without success

Perisic scores for Dortmund. 0-1. Good header

I was thinking "mmmm I don't like this Perisic at all..." and he scores 10 seconds later

Without Sahin... I'd like to see them take us on, alright.
