Bundesliga 2010

The 2010 German Bundesliga looks to be a cracker for your family. My father-in-law and his lovely wife live in Germany and our family favorites are faring very well at the start of the season. Kaiserslautern is the team I follow and also the one team that I have been able to to appreciate as the say, up close and personal. My wife Melissa and I got to see them play at K-town during our honeymoon visit in 2005. What an experience that was. They were promoted from the second division up to the top-flight at the end of last season and are currently sitting mid-table. Awesome!

But the big surprise for me is the blistering start served up by nearby Mainz. We also got to visit Mainz in our 2005 trip and it is a beautiful city, especially Old Town. With a stunning 6-0 record to begin the 2010 season, Mainz is the team setting the early pace. It was wonderful to see that they had beaten Bayern Munich, the perennial powerhouse of German football on the weekend. So as a family we are all really happy with the way things are going; it would be great to reach the last game and have a 1-2 finish! We shall see; but a number of fingers are crossed!
