Who plays against whom and when?
Oh you happy one,
oh you blessed one,
oh you heart-warming Christmas time.
Which game should you definitely not miss?
Weekend planning is easy this time: bake cookies on Saturday, eat stollen, drink ffia Lüüwain, watch football on Sunday. Frankfurt can continue its 5-1 series against championship candidates against Leverkusen. Will Freiburg’s Michael Gregoritsch, who recently scored his Freiburg team to make it 1-0 in the 84th and 90th minutes, strike in Cologne in the 138th minute? And VfB Stuttgart has managed to revive a vintage term from hiking jargon. VfB travels to Munich to the southern summit. The older ones remember days like October 15, 1997, when Markus Babbel saw red early on, Bayern still took the lead twice, Jonathan Akpoborie turned the game around and Sammy Kuffour equalized at the end. Giovanni Trappatoni and Franz Beckenbauer commented on the results as trainers and presidents, and Thomas Berthold could still think straight. The Stuttgart summit storm is thanks to Munich’s Sebastian Hoeneß, who has built a trio that threatens Bavaria from Waldemar Anton, Deniz Undav and Serhou Guirassy. Now, just before the holidays, Uli’s nephew Sebastian just has to dare to jeopardize the family’s peace.
Which game can you safely miss?
Dortmund against Augsburg. Because BVB only makes an effort where a title is (at least theoretically) possible: in the Champions League. Niklas Süle is still busy checking his muscles and tendons to see whether they are all in the right place again. His rescue jump against Kylian Mbappé was included in Jane Fonda’s warm-up program; she is said to have done a spontaneous split jump out of emotion on Wednesday evening. And yoga teachers in Prenzlauer Berg carefully study every slow motion in order to quickly incorporate Süle’s lying cobra plow into their session. The tackle, this spectacular way of preventing goals, is a good Dortmund tradition, perhaps Süle can even tell one or two of his colleagues something about timing and correct use situations.

Who is in the spotlight?
Martin Kind, who probably contributed the decisive vote for the DFL investor deal. The election was secret, but if everyone else told the truth, Kind was identified as the yes man by elimination. It shouldn’t have been a yes less for the DFL, otherwise the deal would have failed again and that’s why Kind’s vote is particularly explosive. The entrepreneur has been a partner at Hannover 96 for many years – and managing director. As such, he went to the DFL general meeting on Monday with a clear mandate: vote against the deal. But now there is a lot of excitement because Hannover obviously doesn’t have his child under control. Kind is stubborn and doesn’t tell the club representatives how he voted. Ällabätsch! The club can’t kick children out either, even though they are loud SZ 102 suspected child misconducts have been compiled.
Child can only be voted out by a majority vote of a four-person committee, but there are always two representatives from the child side on the committee. Child is therefore de facto non-cancellable, possibly even if he were to admit yes. The USA is more likely to get rid of Trump than Hannover 96 to get rid of Martin Kind. Some lawyers even believe that the entire DFL vote is void because of the farce. Others say the opposite: The DFL can’t help the mess in Hanover. And what does all of this mean for the 50+1 rule, which the two new DFL managing directors also apparently think is great and worth protecting? If Child had actually voted yes, he of all people, who had tried for years to circumvent 50+1 for himself, would have given this holy rule the middle finger. The German fan scenes announced that they would be silent for at least the first twelve minutes of this weekend’s games.
Oh you happy one,
oh you blessed one,
oh you heart-warming Christmas time.
