It is just over a week after the atrocities in Paris that claimed upwards of 130 innocent lives. Although the international against the Netherlands was called off in Hannover the Bundesliga stands defiant in the face of the senseless carnage seen last week and the matches this weekend are set to be played on schedule.
| The weekend kicked off with Hamburger SV v Borussia Dortmund on Friday night. There was a short delay as a result of traffic and the extra security that was laid on but the game started and Bundesliga fans were not cowed by the despicable acts in France. Having said this, after the match Dortmund fans may have wondered if the world had been turned on its head after the 3:1 defeat to HSV! |  A BVB bar in Berlin all ready for the match on Friday |
In Berlin I for one will make my way towards the Olympiastadion on Sunday with absolutely no intention of letting recent events prevent me from supporting my club at my stadium in the way that I want to. I hope that hundreds of thousands of people will come together at stadia across Europe in a simple act of defiance and solidarity.
Some would say that this means nothing. However, at least in a very small way, it shows the people who seek to destroy our way of life and turn us against each other have failed, and that in my mind at least, means something.
