Werder Bremen Looks Good In 3-1 Victory, Onto Semis​

The two German giants are both out of the Serie A title race, yet both still had a lot to play for in the Coppa. Werder Bremen reached this stage with after winning a penalty shootout against Udinese, and FC Schalke 04 pulled off a major upset against Spartak Moscow. Yet in this match, it was Bremen who got out of the gate quickly. Just 2 minutes in, midfielder Philipp Bargfrede scored his first goal of the season to give Bremen the 1-0 lead. And while GK Tim Wiese has been dominant in goal thus far in the Coppa, recording 3 clean sheets in 4 appearances, that alone did not fear Schalke. In the 39th minute, Schalke were awarded a free kick from a somewhat decent position, but still far from the net. Fuchs kicked the perfect free kick, and despite Wiese getting his hand on the ball, the ball still pushed on through, tying up the score at 1. That would be the score at the half, but Werder Bremen came out attacking some more in the second half. Arnautovic headed a ball in during the 59th minute, and 13 minutes later, a corner resulted in a Pizarro goal. Wiese and the Werder defense held on to close the game out, and Bremen had clinched a trip to the semis. Die Werderaner, or the River Islanders, will now face the winner of the Athletic Club/Wolverhampton match.

Wolves win 2-0 despite not having much of the ball. They had the two best scoring chances of the match and were able to bury them both midway through the 2nd half. Kevin Doyle got the GWG in the 70th. Wolves defense deserves much of the credit for getting them to the semis.​

Rhodolfo​

wow, OG in 113th minute in semis is tough way to go down. I guess I was right naming Rhodolfo the key player in this one!

edit: even better, it was actually the "Difference Maker." Hopefully I didn't jinx myself too

CxMacx10
i'm free all day Thursday, so let's get this in! Plus I'll be outta town Fri-Sun, so Thursday's gotta be the day for this

Broncos218

Ill be around all day man. Give me a time and ill make it happen

He apparently had a hell of a game too since he was rewarded the MoTM...unless that was some cruel sick way of fifa trying to make him feel better.

Rhodolfo, Sao Paulo. The young Brazilian defender is arguably Sao Paulo's best, and at CB, his play against Bent and Heskey could very well decide this match. Sao Paulo's backline is weak overall, which may put Rhodolfo in some compromising positions at times.


Broncos218 with the SPOT ON analysis!

I will now be accepting payments for any more looks into the crystal ball I own

CxMacx10 I'll probably be on and off PSN for most the day, but if I don't see you on, should we set gametime for about 5pm PT?

Late Flurry Of Goals Puts Werder Bremen Into Coppa Final​

With Aston Villa already in the Coppa final, it was up to Werder Bremen and Wolverhampton to battle it out the other semifinal match. Wolverhampton came into the match looking strong, sporting a strong Serie B record and looking forward to Serie A next season. Bremen had a rough start to the season, but the club has looked better as of late and has marched through the Coppa thus far. Bremen looked to get out of the gates early, and just a minute and a half in, it appeared as if Wesley had given the German side a 1-0 lead. However, the ref called back the goal, claiming that Wesley fouled the Wolverhampton defender before stealing the ball and scoring. Disgruntled Bremen fans let the ref know how they felt, but the game continued on. Both teams had their opportunities throughout the first half, yet it was still 0-0 at the midway point. Then in the 60th minute, Wolverhampton earned a crucial corner kick. On the ensuing kick, Hunt's lob went right toward two Bremen defenders. However, it was a flying Kevin Doyle who jumped just in front of the defenders and headed the ball goalward for a 1-0 Wolves lead. Bremen had been counting on their defense all along, and with a fairly inconsistent offense, the goal was a huge blow to Bremen. However, 10 minutes later, some pretty passing put Bargfrede in position just outside the box. With 2 teammates offside, Bargfrede found Mehmet Ekici running in toward the center of the box. Bargfrede placed a pass just in front of Ekici, and the Turkish midfielder booted the ball into the far side of the net, tying the match up at 1. Heading closer and closer to extra time, it was Werder Bremen's Claudio Pizarro who had other plans. Pizarro had the ball in the box in the 83rd minute, and after juking out a defender, placed a curling shot into the net to give Bremen the late lead. Wolverhampton tried to score a late goal to stay alive, but in stoppage time, it was Bremen who was awarded a free kick just outside the box. Ekici lobbed the freekick in, and Pizarro netted a goal and secured the Bremen victory. Ecstatic and looking forward to the Coppa Final with the 3-1 win in the semis, Werder Bremen will now move onto to face Aston Villa. If Bremen can manage to pull of the upset, their season may just be deemed a success despite an underwhelming Serie A run.

Hopefully the final is closer than that 6-0 mauling the last time we met.

Hopefully not
