VfB STUTTGART
The Underdogs

If there was one team, with one shot,and one opportunity,
to sieze their dreams and return to glory, it would be
VFB STUTTGART.
After their lalalale triumph in 2007, a dynasty appeared on the horizon,
But, those hopes were quickly extinguished.
With a new atlalalaude, a new set of players, and new coaches,
and even more optimistic fans, this could be
the year.
The year where dreams come true. The year where trophies are not but a dream,
but a reality. The year where Champions League is not a distant realm,
but also a reality.
However, with teams consisting of superstars,
Die Roten will this season be known as,
The Underdogs.

We can see that.
Can see that, too.
Yup, that doesn't take a genius either.

Basically I'm just wondering why you said what you did when the information is readily available to us

[chiboygeorge]

Anyway I can't wait for this C11. I hope this can be as good as Bremen

Gomez is quality for Stuttgart (even if he ain't for Germany ) I'll be interested to see if you bring in Donovan as a strike partner or not.

[SPEKZ]

I can tell this is going to be great Even though nothing is there

[Chelsea11]

Thanks guys. I'll just have the post removed, no big deal at all.
I should have the OP up by the end of the weekend...if I get my laptop back

[Ahmer50]

Good luck with that
