well after the winter break the bundesliga will resume..

who do you think will improve and who will fall?

will bayern keep up the pace and continue to dominate germany?
will kaiserslautern be able to turn thier fortunes around and avoid relegation?
can Wolfsburg continue to improve under the leadership of Effenberg and will he re-sign?
will Stuttgart be able to continue its success?
will Koln and Frankfurt win promotion to the first division?
will Schalke and dortmund come out of thier mediocre performance and be able to fulfill thier potential?

well i thought i would ask your opinions on these and any other questions hat will unfold in the new year..

gimme your thoughts and opinions

i don't think anyone can catch bayern at the top, especially with them being out of europe.
dortmund will follow but they are a step behind bayern.
i think that hsv will improve in the second half of the season. their form away was very poor but this has started to improve.
wolfsburg will fade (sorry). visitors will enjoy their new stdium.
bremen are a surprise team to me, i hope they can continue to do well.
also fingers crossed for 'Lautern, their coach gerets has not managed to save them yet, but they are getting better, but i fear the seasons end is going to come too soon for them

but then, what do i know??

I think(know) Bayern is going to be champion

Dortmund comfortable 2nd
Dont think that the HSV will get close to the uefa-cup ranks. He will end like the last years around place 10(very unspectacular team), although I would be very glad if they get to the uefa-cup
Same with Stuttgart. I would be very pleased if they reach the uefa cup. I think this team is unpredictable. We´ll see.
Kaiserslautern, Cottbus and ? will go down and I dont care

Dont underestimate Wolfsburg

Bremen and Schalke will fight for the 3rd place
Leverkusen has to look for the new season
I hope that Köln, Frankfurt and Freiburg get promoted because they are potential 1.Liga clubs and no one wants to see Oberhausen, Mainz or Union in the 1.Bundesliga

I think Leverkusen will save himselh. Uefa cup is possible. Schalke, Bremen and also Hertha, if they get in shape willl fight for CL qualification. Stuttgart. I´m hoping Tofting(young german, with a shave head) will play in future.

I hope Bayern will winn the domestic, because they hewto get some money and also i Would like to see, Ballack with at least one natinal championship gewonen(1 wit FCK before, wasn´t something special)
