Between the third and fourth match days there will be a break for international matches, which will include two World Cup qualifiers for the German national team. The final game of the first four against Cottbus will be followed by the first match day in the UEFA Champions League (16th/17th September 2008). The Werder Bremen fans and trainer Thomas Schaaf’s troops will have to be a little patient in waiting to see who they will be faced with.
