qualification Explanation: Sounds like VfL Wolfsburg qualified for some championship or something similar. For ex.: Einzug in die Meisterschaft, Einzug in die Bundesliga usw. Grüße! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2009-05-28 17:38:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You'd need a little more context in order to flesh out the translation better. |

Champions League place Explanation: I know it doesn't say 'Champions League' but 'place' alone sounds odd. They've recently made it into that competition so without further info maybe that's what it's on about. Reference: http://www.vflwolfsburg.de/50543+M5eabd68e450.html |

Direct qualification,S.u. Explanation: As an ex-Chelsea player ( long time ago) I would not be happy if I had just qualified for the Champions League, Stuttgart can qualify by winning thier qualification game, Wolfsburg and Bayern have qualified "directly". Direct qualification would mean that the team achieved the status on merit after 34 Bundesliga games without having to go into the qualification round. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2009-05-29 13:05:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As Kim pointed out I should have mentioned " direct qualification for the Champions league ( 2009 - 2010)" |

Reference: Info Reference information: Champions League place secured Wolfsburg - At the end of the penultimate match day of the season, VfL Wolfsburg had a further huge success to celebrate. Due to the draw between Hertha BSC Berlin and FC Schalke 04 (0-0), the side from the German capital can now no longer realistically make up the deficit to VfL Wolfsburg. http://www.vflwolfsburg.de/50543 M5eabd68e450.html Wolfsburg getting ready to celebrate Bayern, after only drawing 2-2 at Hoffenheim, are now officially dismissing their title chances, saying their chief concern is securing second place and direct Champions League qualification. http://www.topnews.in/wolfsburg-getting-ready-celebrate-germ... With 5:1 against Werder Bremen, the VfL Wolfsburg secured the first championship of the club's history. The direct qualification for the UEFA Champions League was left for the FC Bayern Munich with a 2-1 against VfB Stuttgart, who are finally on third spot. Hertha BSC Berlin and Hamburger SV will participate in the newly formed UEFA Europe League. http://football-wiki.blogspot.com/2009/05/wolfsburg-wins-ger... congratulations to Wolfsburg or securing direct qualification to the Champions League |
