Christian Eigler's The Man Again
Forward Christian Eigler was instrumental again in Arminia Bielefeld's 4:2 victory against Hansa Rostock. Christian scored two goals himself and assisted another as Bielefeld are the surprise of the season so far by staying on the 2nd position in Germany's Bundesliga just one point behind leader Bayern Munich. The former 2nd Bundesliga goalking Eigler plays a major role in the underdogs cracking start of the new season by producing 3 goals and 2 assists in 5 matches. Germany's most influential football magazine "Kicker" prized his performance once again with the election in the "Eleven Of The Week" as well as calling him the "Player Of The Match". Eigler, a former Under 21 international of Germany, joined Arminia in the beginning of the 2006/2007 season from 2nd Bundesliga outfit Greuther Fürth and is more and more likely to fulfilf the role of a prolific goalscorer in the German top division.
Germany beat Wales and Romania
Miroslav Klose celebrated his 70th cap and debut as captain in the starting line-up with two goals as Germany took a step closer to Euro 2008 qualification with a convincing 2-0 win over Wales. Klose needed just five minutes in Cardiff to celebrate his milestone when Germany's attack sliced through the Welsh defence and Kevin Kuranyi slid a pass to his skipper for the 28-year-old to put his side ahead. And when Wales defender Gareth Bale was robbed by midfielder Roberto Hilbert just before the hour mark, his cross was met by Klose's bullet header as the Bayern Munich striker scored his 35th international goal. With midfielders Michael Ballack and Torsten Frings out with injury, as well as Bernd Schneider serving a one-match suspension, the role of chief playmaker went to Bastian Schweinsteiger. The Bayern Munich product earned his man-of-the-match award and out-shone his captain with a superb performance to boss the middle ground as Germany underlined their status as run-away Group D leaders.
