GERMAN CUP THIRD ROUND DRAW
David Smith - Monday, September 28, 2009
The draw for the round of 16 in the German Cup was made on Saturday night, setting up a trio of attractive encounters for the remaining yanks in the competition.

With recovery from his broken leg nearing completion, Schalke midfielder will likely be on the field when the Königsblauen head south to the Allianz Arena to face Kenny Cooper and 1860 Munich.

The Lions produced a good performance in the second round, eventually dispatching of Bundesliga club Hertha Berlin penalties, with Cooper having also found net earlier in the game for his team's second goal.

Schalke, still playing without their star defensive midfielder Jones, easily defeating their hosts Bochum to the tune of a 3-0 scoreline, and will be looking to reach the quarterfinals again, where they were eventually knocked out last year.

David Yelldell and Koblenz are in the round of 16 for the first time in team history, after am emphatic 4-2 overtime victory over fellow 2. Bundesliga club Cottbus, but will have to be at the top of their game to hold back the lethal attack of opponents 1899 Hoffenhiem.

The Hoffe are currently playing the best ball of their season in running off five straight wins in all competitions, and will likely represent the toughest test that the Koblenz will have to face this season, barring an unlikely upset.

With Kaiserslautern keeper Tobias Sippel having gotten the starting nod in their 2-1 upset over Bayer Leverkusen in the second round, Luis Robles will likely be resigned to the bench when the Red Devils travel to Werder Bremen.

While Kaiserslautern will surely be heavy underdogs against the surging Green-Whites, the game looks to be a preview of next year's Bundesliga competition as the visitors have jumped to the pole position for promotion, and have showed no signs of slowing down.

The third round games of the German Cup will be played on the 27th and 28th of October.
