Viva La Bundesliga!

In the world of Barcelona's, Real Madrid's, Intermilan's, Ac Milan's, Manchester United's, Manchester Cities, Chelsea's and now PSG's it's easy to forget about the Bundesliga, though I don't understand why as it seems to be the most competitive notable league.


The Bundesliga is a very well rounded competition each year a plethora of clubs have a chance to reach that one goal that all footballer's and football fans seek, trophies. Unlike Liga BBVA, Serie A and The Barclays Premier League which have all become 2-4 horse races. The competition in Germany is hot, and the action is really starting to heat up.


Let's talk about the teams with a real shot at the Bundesliga, we have Bayern Munich, Bayern Leverkusen, Schalke 04, Werder Bremen. Hannover 96 seems to be a new prospect and let's not forget last years winners and new boys Borussia Dortmund. With each of these teams having a loss already in the early rounds of the competition other than Hannover 96 who have experienced two draws and two wins finding themselves one point off the leaders.


Not only is it amazing the competition is so close the quality of players in the Bundesliga is high as well.
These players include the likes of Mario Gomez, Arjen Robben, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Phillip Lahm, Mario Gotze, Marko Marin, Thomas Muller, Klass-Jan Huntelaar, Raul and Franck Ribery. The talent pool is enormous and this all adds into very exciting football.

Mario Götze Celebrating The Match Winning Goal

There is a particular hype about Mario Götze the 19-year-old attacking midfielder playing for Borussia Dortmund. He set the Bundesliga alight last year with 15 assists and eight goals in 41 appearances, and he has started this years campaign in a similar way scoring one goal and setting up two in the first three fixtures. He has also played seven games for his country Germany and scored one goal, that goal earning him an equal record of the youngest goal scorer for Germany at the tender age of 19 and 68 days old.


The thing I will find fascinating is if Borussia Dortmund can indeed re-capture the form they showed last year to come from nowhere and win the Bundesliga. With a very young outfit they have a certain spark about them, however when these young players come up against the likes of Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, they will be tested. But, one thing is for sure I will definitely be keeping a close eye on the Bundesliga. And with everybody beating everybody it seems like a big puzzle, and when the pieces start coming together I'm sure it will be a mouth-watering prospect.
