OK, Americans. Isaiah (Easy) Young should be on your radar. He has just fired Bielefeld into the 2nd round of the DFB-Pokal at Bremen‘s expense, his old club. Arminia carrying on where they left off last season. Also early leaders of the 2. Bundesliga after promotion. Young is from Berlin, NJ.

Reminder for anyone waking up over in the USA that you can get your German ⚽️ season off to a flyer. ABC has the Stuttgart-Bayern, Franz Beckenbauer Supercup on Saturday as well as ESPN+ Annual curtain raiser involving the Pokal winners & defending champions live from Stuttgart.

Look for Bundesliga games to have more added time this season. So far in the lower divisions, stoppage time is up on average by 1 minute, 43 secs. The DFB see it as a matter of transparency & consistency to make up for lost time in matches.

Probably because there is a long 1 on 1 interview with Tah in this edition.

Kicker headline is „Acid test with chance of a trophy.“ „In the Supercup, Pokal winners Stuttgart challenge champions Bayern. Particularly in the spotlight, Woltemade & Tah.“
