Hertha verliert gegen Galatasaray Istanbul unglücklich 0:1

2008-12-04T07:58:04+00:00

Die Teams aus der Bundesliga sind im UEFA-Cup einfach grottig. Gestern Abend verlor nicht nur Schalke gegen Twente Enschede, nein auch der Hauptstadtklub Hertha BSC Berlin unterlag im Duell um die Zwischenrunde. Ich hab zwar nur die zweite Hälfte im TV gesehen, aber in dieser Halbzeit hab ich eigentlich eine ganz gute Leistung gesehen, für [.

2008-12-03T22:03:41+00:00

Ach du liebe Scheiße! Jetzt kommt es knüppeldick für die Schalker. Nach der blamablen Vorstellung gegen Manchester City und der Niederlage in der Bundesliga gegen den VfB, folgte am heutigen Mittwoch Abend ein weiterer Schlag mitten in die Fresse. Beim holländischen Durchschnittsteam Twente Enschede verloren die Königsblauen unglücklich mit 1:2.

Braga vs VfL Wolfsburg 2:3 - die Tore eines verrückten Spiels

2008-11-27T23:40:44+00:00

Jaaa! Es besteht noch Hoffnung für den deutschen Fußball. Der VfL hat im Felsenstadion von Braga zweimal das Spiel gedreht und damit die Ehre des deutschen Fußballs gerettet. Die katastrophalen Schalker und die lethargischen HSV-Kicker hatten sich ja schon eher am Abend bis auf die Knochen blamiert.

HSV vs Ajax Amsterdam 0:1 - das kuriose Doppelpfostentor

2008-11-27T23:30:11+00:00

Ebenso wie die desolaten Schalker, konnte sich auch der HSV auf internationaler Bühne nicht durchsetzen und verlor durch ein wirklich kurioses Tor des eingewechselten Leonardo. Pfosten links, Pfosten rechts, Dribbling auf der Grundlinie - drin! 0-1 Leonardo 77′

2008-11-27T23:30:11+00:00

Schalke 04 vs Manchester City 0:2 - die Tore

2008-11-27T20:11:11+00:00

Selten habe ich mich für den Bundesliga-Fußball so geschämt wie heute Abend. Gegen den Premier League Elften hat eine deutsche Mannschaft, die sich einst aufmachte um die Champions League aufzumischen, anscheinend keine Chance zu bestehen. Traurig. Einfach nur traurig. 0-1 Benjani 32′ 0-2 Ireland 66′

Bayern gegen Steaua Bukarest weiter - die Tore

2008-11-26T07:58:13+00:00

Bayern ist weiter, und das ist auch gut so. Im gestrigen Match gegen Steaua Bukarest konnten die Münchner ihre gute Form in der Champions-League fortsetzen und souverän mit 3:0 gewinnen. Dabei war Miro Klose an allen Toren beteiligt: erst traf er selbst nach Vorlage von Ribéry, dann legte er auf Toni auf und letztlich sorgte [.

Englishman Tried To Kill Maradona

2008-11-24T20:00:49+00:00

No I couldn't quite believe the headline when I first read it either but reports in the Argentine press are reporting that an Englishman tried to kill Diego Maradona last Wednesday. The reports are suggesting that the man tried to decapitate Maradona when he made his official debut as the coach of Argentina against Scotland but [.

Walcott ruled out for ‘at least three months’

2008-11-21T09:52:36+00:00

Arsenal and England winger Theo Walcott has had surgery on his dislocated shoulder and is set to miss at least the next 12 weeks of action. The youngster suffered the injury while in training with England ahead of Wednesday's Germany game. This is an injury that has plagued Walcott so far in his professional football career [.

Cristiano Ronaldo tries to strangle Brazil’s Marcelo

2008-11-21T09:52:21+00:00

Why attempted to murder in front of thousands of spectators and the media is not a good idea Cristiano Ronaldo is a winner at the moment. Be it with Manchester United or individually, he is developing an increasingly trophy-laden mantelpiece. You can imagine then that having little or no impact as Portugal suffered a 6-2 defeat [.

Ronaldo Makes A Prat Out Of Himself

2008-11-21T09:23:09+00:00

There will always be moments when one of our players do something or say something which you know they deserve to get laughed at for. When Rio Ferdinand's 'You Got Merked' programme was broadcast, I was cringing (until I saw Gary Neville tell that scouse copper where to go, at least). When the stories about [.

Eurosport celebrates England’s defeat to Argentina last night

2008-11-20T16:26:54+00:00

Hang on a minute... In the coverage that we saw last night, England beat Germany in Berlin. But in the parallel universe in which Eurosport exists the Three Lions were once again slain by Diego Maradona. A Eurosport hack who got a bit caught up in the Terry Butcher furore decided to write that Argentina had [.

Top five predictable features of Diego Maradona’s debut as Argentina manager

2008-11-20T11:07:15+00:00

Things you could have put money on from Diego's bow 1. Argentina beat Scotland. 2. Diego gets told off for touching the white line (although this time by a linesman not a court of law). 3. Diego reveals he nearly walked out part way through the week (albeit to see his pregnant daughter rather than due to a [.

Best Defender In The World

2008-11-20T10:30:02+00:00

World class. Oliver Holt agrees. His main contribution was just being here. He set a captain's example when he got on the plane and refused to succumb to injury. Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney were not here. But Terry was. Terry put himself on the line and the team around him responded magnificently.

Berbatov Injured As He Faces Thrashing From Vidic’s Serbia

2008-11-20T08:17:28+00:00

Dimitar Berbatov was replaced in the first half of Bulgaria's 6-1 thrashing at the hands of Serbia, with the injury believed to be his hamstring. He is now obviously a doubt for this weekend's match against Aston Villa. It could have been much worse for Bulgaria when considering that Serbia missed two penalties.

Germany’s Patrick Helmes dedicates goal to his dead dog

2008-11-19T22:20:53+00:00

This one's for you, pooch Germany striker Patrick Helmes had revealed pre-match that he was hoping for a goal against England to dedicate to his dead dog - and he duly delivered. When Helmes took advantage of the Scott Carson/John Terry fiasco to find the net, his first reaction was to point to doggy heaven.

BBC’s England Man of the Match

2008-11-19T22:18:50+00:00

Michael Carrick! Well done lad. Nice to see even when we only have one player representing the national team, one who is always overlooked in favour of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, that he is giving a good account of himself. I didn't watch the game so don't expect any more from me on it! The Guardian [.

Argentinien vs. Schottland - das 1:0 als Video

2008-11-19T22:01:48+00:00

Diego Maradona, einer der weltbesten Fußballer des 20. Jahrhunderts und seit kurzem Coach der argentinischen Nationalmannschaft, konnte in seinem ersten Spiel direkt einen Sieg einfahren. Gut es war nur ein Freundschaftsspiel gegen Schottland. Und es war auch nur ein mageres 1:0. Aber immerhin. Der Übungsleiter und die Mannschaft sind auf einem guten Weg zum WM-Titel [.

Can England Really Beat Germany?

2008-11-19T15:58:28+00:00

There is a short answer to my question and that is yes but I am going to explain to you exactly why I think England can beat Germany. England may be without seven or eight first team players for the match tonight but the confidence that Capello is installing into the team then I think that [...]

Traumtor von Toni Kroos gegen Italien

2008-11-18T21:23:57+00:00

Toni Kroos, das wohl größte deutsche Talent, hat mal wieder eindrucksvoll seine Klasse bewiesen. Der beste Spieler der letztjährigen U17-WM traf im Freundschaftsspiel der deutschen U21-Auswahl gegen Italien in der 48. Minute mit einem fulminanten und technisch perfektem Schuss in den Winkel. Damit steht mein Favorit für das Tor des Jahres fest.

Carrick Disagrees With O’Shea On Ferguson and International Duty

2008-11-18T08:24:12+00:00

Yesterday, John O'Shea claimed that despite what people may think, Sir Alex Ferguson is very supportive of his players going on International duty. With a friendly scheduled for tomorrow, something which Ferguson has branded 'a waste of time' in the past, our manager is obviously less that impressed, particularly when considering the injuries we already [.

International Friendlies - What are they Good For?

2008-11-17T14:00:29+00:00

With another exciting weekend of Premiership action behind us, all eyes are set on next week - or are they? It was FIFA's great plan to throw yet another international week into the fixture list, so the world's top players are all getting on planes and jetting away from the clubs that pay them.

International Friendlies - What are they Good For?

2008-11-17T14:00:29+00:00

[digg-me] With another exciting weekend of Premiership action behind us, all eyes are set on next week - or are they? It was FIFA's great plan to throw yet another international week into the fixture list, so the world's top players are all getting on planes and jetting away from the clubs that pay them.

Ferguson NEVER Tries To Talk Players Out Of International Duty

2008-11-17T11:09:10+00:00

International matches take place this week meaning several players came off 'injured' during the weekend's Premiership fixtures. In the past, Ferguson branded Internional friendlies, like the one England will be playing against Germany on Wednesday, 'a waste of time', after Darren Fletcher picked up an injury whilst playing for Scotland.

One ManUnited Player In England Squad

2008-11-16T09:21:00+00:00

Sir Alex Ferguson revealed after the Manchester United/Stoke match that Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand won't be fit for the friendly England match against Germany on Wednesday so they won't be in the... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Thanks, Guys

2008-11-13T23:38:19+00:00

Just wanted to give a shout-out to my friends at UnitedMania for the nice things they said about me on the latest episode of their excellent podcast. In case you weren't aware (i.e., the readers among you whom I don't know personally), I am moving to Chicago next week. This is the reason why I have barely posted since mid-August.

Rory Delap - Er macht den Einwurf zu einer Kunst

2008-11-10T21:33:14+00:00

Rory Delap ist ein besonderer Fußballspieler. Nicht weil er so eine gute Technik hat oder einen besonders harten Schuß. Der Ire kann einfach nur gut einwerfen. Jaja, werden jetzt Manche sagen. Das können ja einige Fußballspieler - Pierre Womé vom FC Köln zum Beispiel. Ab und zu kommt da mal ein Mitspieler mit dem Schädel [.
