Adler at 540 Minutes and CountingThe German defense continued their oppressive performances, and have now played six consecutive matches without conceding a goal. Perhaps more troubling for their rivals is their steady offense improvement. Over their six group stage matches, the German scorelines read: 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, 2-0, 4-0, 6-0. Only the most optimistic (or deluded) German would expect them to trump the 6-0 thrashing, but it must be said that the Germans are looking close to their all-time best.
Arsenal Stake Claim to Top 3
With Chelsea's lead at the top looking more and more insurmountable, the race for next season's Champions Cup is wide open. Arsenal struck another blow to Inter and Ingoglia's fragile legacy in a thrilling encounter at the Emirates, replacing the Milanese in the top three. The race for fourth and fifth may prove scintillating especially with Burns retiring after this season, as both places would mean automatic qualification.
Spanish Absence Grants Group B Shape
The once wildly unpredictable group is looking a bit more reliable, as a distinct top two have emerged. One of the early favorites to advance, England, took a step towards the semi-final after easily dispatching 10-man France. Of Course, the absence of Spain is raising lingering question marks over the fate of the group, but based on his current form, no one is expecting Crittenden to perform up to scratch.
