Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 30/09/2026What I’d love to know is how much the other top European leagues have been affected by Man City In the 2010s every top league PL aside became historically uncompetitive But the other superclubs like Bayern probably spend less if City & PSG weren’t around to raise the bar 011
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Some great players in that team to be fair. And Felix Magath as coach. Leverkusen actually led most of the season and were unbeaten until March, but fell apart and ended up finishing 4th. 020
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I knew about 2001 and 2007, but I don't think I knew how close Schalke were to winning the title in 2010. Led the table with six games left then lost at home to a 10-man Bayern. Level on goal difference with two games left, but they lost and then drew their last two games. 150
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The sleeves on this Stuttgart kit really are rubbish 000
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Bundesliga mentioned on today’s Only Connect What links these two clues? (I got it) 001
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Bundesliga World Feed showing some clips of great moments from Bundesliga season openers. Unfortunately didn’t include the time the floodlights in Bremen gave up 000
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Scored an insane opener, kept it close until late, and managed to compete with a strong Bayern team. Lots of positives I think Just a few costly mistakes unfortunately. The 3-1 killed the game, going into the last ten minutes with only one goal in it would have been interesting 061
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 30/08/2026This year we are getting 9 minute highlights videos of 2. Bundesliga games on Youtube, within a few hours of the game finishing, which is great. Sadly the Bundesliga games are not getting the same. There are 1 minute videos of 3 of the games but nothing for the others yet. 020
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 08/08/2026This Wolfsburg kit is the worst thing Volkswagen have ever done 220
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Kaiserslautern’s away fans waving all kinds of FCK shirts as the team walk out, pretty cool 000
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Mad game. I feel encouraged that the team can compete at this level but the goals conceded were very cheap & the defence is going to have to be a lot better than they were today 010
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Unless I’m missing something it seems like the way to watch 2. Bundesliga in the UK now is through the Bundesliga app; nothing listed on Youtube. 210
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Well, that is what they used to do. Are you familiar with the 1922 German championship final? 000
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 06/07/2026How has this myth that the VAR only showed the Balogun foul in slow motion been allowed to persist? We saw the referee watch it in multiple times in full speed during the broadcast 030
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 06/07/2026England fought unbelievably hard but don’t think it was anywhere near as good a performance as Shearer suggesting. Had to control the game better Pickford & Gordon both been criticised but were both great 020
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 05/07/2026He’s not bad is he? Crazy to give him that much space when he is clearly exhausted and was barely moving, Brazil just not bothered to do anything 110
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Honestly cannot get my head around it, *Brazil* being beaten like this by a team that has not qualified for a major tournament in my lifetime. 110
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Belgium Senegal another example of an unnecessary kit change at this World Cup, both in away shirts whey could both be in their proper colours 020
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Bar 15 minutes against Croatia, England haven’t been very good at all this tournament - but having players like Bellingham and Kane who can bail you out in big moments matters a lot more than how convincing your group stage wins are 050
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Nothing has changed I don’t think, although FIFA do have light v dark rules that do result in these happening more often at World Cups than elsewhere 010
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Might be wrong but I feel that teams have been using away kits unnecessarily much too often this tournament 120
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Germany will still need to improve a lot I think. Getting a clean sheet against Ecuador could be huge because the defensive frailties of 2018 and 2022 are still there 050
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Not a World Cup exclusive thing by any means, but I can never understand people going to football matches and missing the start of the second half. Winds me up so much. You have 15 minutes to do whatever you want, how can you not be in your seat 5 minutes into the second half? 020
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Paderborn beat Wolfsburg Fürth beat Essen That’s the first time ever that the 2. Bundesliga club has won in both playoffs 090
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Wolfsburg managing to get relegated with their budget, with so many years of alarm bells ringing, is one of the all time great Bundesliga achievements 090
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Of course the red card is a key part of it, but I doubt there’s ever been a playoff game where the lower division team has dominated like this. Huge missed opportunity if they don’t win it 090
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Absolutely stupid from Maæhle to fly in like that on a yellow. And an absolutely stupid first yellow card too #SCPWOB 020

Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Anyone know if the Bundesliga relegation playoff is going to be broadcast in the UK? It isn’t listed on the Bundesliga Youtube, not on Sky 100

Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Freiburg in a European final. And that’s an e.V (100% fan/member owned) beating a Qatar owned club to get to a European final 042
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 03/05/2026A weekend that just kept getting better and better #VfL1899 010
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Very weird. Would rather secure promotion on the pitch tomorrow, sort of wanted Essen to win. But they just kept making ridiculous mistakes 110
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Watching Essen get torn apart by a reserve team like that has to be one of the oddest ways to get promoted. Now to secure 1st place tomorrow 120
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Watching Havelse play Stuttgart II in front of absolutely nobody late on a Sunday and wondering what on Earth the point of it all is. Then Havelse score a glorious kacktor in the last minute and postpone their inevitable relegation for another week. Beautiful 010
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Leicester down to the 3rd tier 10 years after winning the league title. Technically Dynamo Berlin managed it in 3 years. But they did change name and country For ex Bundesliga winners, 1860 did it in 16 years but for administrative reasons Braunschweig and Lautern did it in 20 on the pitch 040
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Is it ever really surprising when Kohr gets away with something? 010
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Unfortunately we have seen second leg Neuer far more than first leg Neuer this season. Hopefully that quiets the talk about the World Cup place which Baumann deserves 000
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Bayern are through and clearly deserved it but they are going to have to be vastly better than that to reach the final. This should have been a comfortable win but they were very vulnerable defensively and wasteful in front of goal. 100
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 15/04/2026If people in football really wanted to get people more interested, addressing the financial imbalance of the sport might be a good idea. Unpredictability was always one of football’s biggest selling points but that unpredictability has been destroyed and nobody has done anything 010
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Probably the maddest football article I have ever read. www.theguardian.com/football/201...theguardian.comWorld Cup 2010: The best of Argentina manager Diego MaradonaThe highlights of Diego Maradona's World Cup - in his own words 010
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Looking at Woltemade’s current situation you really have to ask why he felt compelled to push for a move to the first club who came in for him. No doubt he’d be better off right now if he was still at Stuttgart. 010
Louis Ostrowski @ostrl.bsky.social · 16/03/2026More interested in how Gladbach fans react to their captain who has been at the club for most of his life leaving for them 100
