I don't think my article on Landon was advocating a move to Bayern Munich, but I can see where some have taken it that way.

Here's what one reader had to say:

With all due respect I don't think Landon Donovan would even make the Bayern Munich matchday party more than 12 or 15 times in a season.

Germany 3 - 3 Finland highlights

2008-09-11T11:36:00+00:00

I think that most people would have assumed before this game that a hat trick from Miroslav Klose would have meant a rout by Germany, but it wasn't quite the case as Finland had an answer for each of Klose's goals.

2010 World Cup qualifying round-up: Miroslav Klose spares Germany's blushes in Finland

Miroslav Klose hit a hat-trick for Germany but his goals only managed to salvage a 3-3 draw for a side who were just seven minutes away from losing to Finland for the first time in 85 years.

Ten Players Missing, Presumed German

In the comedy series "Little Britain", Andy Pipkin, the pretend-disabled scrounger, states that he wants to go to Finland despite the fact that he previously said that the country had "a maudlin quality to it, rendering it unsuitable as a holiday destination." After convincing his hapless carer Lou to book them on a flight to Helsinki, Andy decides on take-off that he actually wanted to go to Florida all the time.

Apologies for starting this year's Bundesliga blog off with an entry based on ugly rumours (by which I mean allegations and not ex-British PM Tony Blair's ill-fated Stones-esque college band).
Since Euro 2008 ended, I've been feeding my soccer hunger by trawling my favourite sites for any morsel of information that can keep me sated.

So is Jurgen Klinsmann the next Santiago Bernabéu?

2008-07-31T14:13:00+00:00

I was reading this article on ESPN's website and it got me to thinking, how does Bayern Munich expect to measure success during Jurgen Klinsmann's time as manager. Are they expecting to go on a run of Champions League victories? What exactly is the measure of success? They won the Champions League Cup back in 2001.

Ex-Houston Dynamo striker Joseph Ngwenya's name has popped up in the news recently after the 27-year-old began a trial three-week spell with German superpower Bayern Munich. If you'll direct your attention to Texas you'll see a collective mouth-watering from the Dynamo faithful.

Spurs closing in on £15 million Keane replacement !

2008-07-03T12:27:00+00:00

Tottenham are still in contention to sign Bayern Munich star Lukas Podolski according to reports in the Daily Telegraph today. If the German international was to link up with Juande Ramos' side that could see Robbie Keane's rumoured move to Liverpool go through.

The 23 year old who is currently playing in the Bundesliga is thought to be one of Juande Ramos top Summer transfer targets, especially after his eye catching performances for Germany in Euro 2008.

Euro 2008 Final: Spain 1-0 Germany

2008-07-02T20:32:00+00:00

I wanted to get this post up sooner, but I've been blog-less for the past few days as a result of a beer-filled long weekend out of town. I did watch the final on Sunday, though, and although I was cheering for Germany, I can't say I'm disappointed that Spain won -- they were the best team both over the course of the tournament and in the final itself.

Former Dynamo Going Deutsch?

If would have told you one year ago that a member of the Houston Dynamo would be on trial with German juggernauts Bayern Munich you would have told me I was high, high, high. And even if you thought I wasn't under the influence you would have thought it was DeRo or Chingy that was getting the eye from abroad.

I have tears of joy. Watching Spain get over their mental block against their more heralded European rivals, doing it their way, playing beautiful, attacking soccer and finally winning what was rightfully theirs. There is a God occasionally and he chose the right time to be munificent.

There was Ballack his face streaked with congealed blood and the nonplussed Metzelder and Mertesacker, their faces frozen in disbelief and dismay, as they contemplated another championship without a title.

Funny how Foudy talks about how goalkeepers need games to be sharp in reference to Jens Lehmann. Foudy didn't say anything like that when saying she wouldn't want to play in front of Hope Solo after Solo protested getting replaced at the Women's World Cup by Scurry, who had hardly played.

Finally Spain have done a tournament they can be prowd of. In the semi final they had a boring 1st half, but woke up 2nd half and showed the whole world how to play nice. They finished with 3-0 over Russland. Aragones is a clever old man, but how will he try to beat Germany? Germany had [...]

2008-06-20T02:40:00+00:00

I have to admit that I'm a little surprised that Germany won. Good game though. Germany was able to exploit the soft spot that Portugal had shown in their defense and get some easy goals. I also thought they finally played the right lineup with Podolski, Klose, and Schweinsteiger leading the offense.

Once favored to sweep aside the best Europe had to offer, Germany is limping into tonight's quarterfinal match with Portugal. Euro 2008 got off to a flying start for Michael Ballack & Co. with a 2-0 win over Poland, but then came complete capitulation to Croatia and a meek 1-0 win over a second-class Austria.

German striker claims Tottenham and Juve want his signature

Indeed, it would be a surprise if the interest in this player was restricted to just two clubs. After all, Lukas Podolski has been very impressive for Germany during Euro 2008, scoring three goals in three games and outshining Miroslav Klose and Mario Gomez in the process. Sky Sports report that the Bayern Munich striker will [.

Spurs and Man City are supposedly eying up a move for on form German striker Lukas Podolski according to reports in the Express.

The 23 year old who is currently playing with Bayern Munich is thought to be one of Juande Ramos top Summer transfer targets. Although Podolski has struggled to cement a starting place in the Bayern side competing with Luca Toni and Miroslav Klose for a place in the strike force, he has clearly shown his capabilities with his national side.

Germany 1-0 Austria
It wasn't exactly an inspiring victory, but Germany have booked their place in the quarter-finals with this win. They've made hard work of what should have been an easy group, but now it's time for them to really get their act together for the knock-out stages. They did at least look much more solid defensively here, although that's kind of hard to judge against a team as goal-shy as Austria.
