Would have posted in the paid Bundesliga pool but it's now closed with the season ended... except for me nothing ends until we know who is here to stay next one! Or is there truly no interest from anyone here about poor old Bochum?

And with that, Bochum had my vote in tonight's first-leg playoff -- and they look worth their call, except they conceded a goal from Dusseldorf's sole attempt, and then after that the game looks to be more balanced. Please don't let them win! Not that either are really very good to be part of next season's elite...
