Photos of a Schalke Fan’s Trip to Leverkusen

0
I wanted to point out this great collection of pictures available at Auswärtssieg! (away win!) a German Schalke blog. Unfortunately for Auswärtssieg! Schalke went down 2-1 to Leverkusen, but that shouldn't prevent us from enjoying these great pictures. Here are a few to whet your appetite: You can look at the rest of them [.

die Tabelle lügen nicht! (Bundesliga Week 12)

0
Edin Dzeko Against Cottbus 1. Bayer Leverkusen The subtitle to their season should be "how we got to the top with a crap defense". They conceded goals by a misdirect from the wall on a free kick, allowing Tim Sebastian to waltz freely on another and letting 5'9 Iashvilli outjump a defender. If it [. Click to continue reading...

Bundesliga Matchday 12 by the Numbers

0
1-2-3 - Current ranking of Bochum, Cottbus, and Bielefeld on the "Anti-Fair-Play Table." Here Bochum has a commanding lead thanks to their 33(!) yellows in 12 games. This trio tops another table as well, but this one's about "Anti-Results." All three are currently in the relegation zone. Coincidence? Click to continue reading...

Nutellagate

You may not be aware that Deutsche Welle has really ramped up their coverage of the Bundesliga in Ballspeil this season. I had often wondered why they didn't have particularly strong coverage, but things are changing and you should definitely bookmark their site. I am particularly enjoying Sean Sinco's blog.

The Sync: How Frankfurt and KSC cured my Insomnia

0
Karlsruhe and Eintracht Frankfurt repaid the 80 minutes of my life (and the 51,000 strong at the Commerz Bank Arena) that they stole with a scintillating finish. A game that was so boring that it would be offensive to compare it to the oft-used paint drying scenario, erupted into a comedy of blunders in [. Click to continue reading...

No Ligapokal for Old Men

0
Earlier this year the Ligapokal was cancelled due to fixture congestion in the aftermath of Euro '08, but was expected to return bigger and better. Understandable, if unfortunate. Now according to kicker the old men at the DFL* have already cancelled the 2009 edition of the competition. The reasoning behind the move? Click to continue reading...

Product Review: Objectivo Soccer Shirts

Another Germany-Wales match, another game too close for comfort for die Nationalmannschaft. The all-time series record stands at 8 wins for Germany, 2 for Wales and 6 draws between them. I don't know what it is with the Welsh, but they punch above their weight when playing against Ballack and co. Germany [. Click to continue reading...

The Eagle Has Landed!

1
The future is now as Germany are hit by injury to Robert Enke. Not that I wanted any injury to Enke, as I think he is a fantastic keeper and seems like an all around good guy; however, he has broken his hand during the run up to this round of World Cup qualifiers [...] Click to continue reading...

Borussia Mönchengladbach Fire Trainer Jos Luhukay

1
It appeared inevitable and now it's been confirmed as Borussia Möchengladbach fired trainer Jos Luhukay today in their wake of their defeat to Köln (and their fourth straight). After seven games, six of which they've lost, Gladbach sit at the bottom of the table with only three points. The team was perhaps too [. Click to continue reading...
