Bayern Munich 3-0 Fiorentina: Viola Doing the Shooting… But Not the Scoring (UEFA Champions League 2008-09)

2
If there's one thing that Tuesday night taught Fiorentina, it's that by having 22 shots on target and still failing to score against Bayern Munich, you will at some point get punished. The German giants might very well be struggling in the Bundesliga at the moment, they are still a team loaded with world class [. Click to continue reading...

The Sync: Bayern 1-1 Lyon

1
Blue days at the Allianz Bate and Bayern had the same idea in the second halves of their respective matches. Hold on for a home draw. However unlike Bate, Bayern Munich happened to be one of the 10 richest clubs in the world. Lyon visited the Allianz tonight and scraped by with a 1-1 [...] Click to continue reading...

The Set: Bayern 2-5 Werder Bremen

You call this a formation? Seven notes on Werder dismantlement of FC Bayern at the Allianz. 1. Stereotyping A defensive player usually makes an attack-minded coach and an attacking player usually makes a defense-minded coach. Granted, there are exceptions such as the Bruno Labbadia's of this world, but the general rule of thumb holds enough merit to [. Click to continue reading...

Callis Vorschau auf Bayern gegen Werder

2

Callis Analyse vor dem Spitzenspiel des letzten Spieltages hat Hand und Fuß und die meisten Fußballexperten hätten ihm von ein paar Tagen weitgehend zugestimmt. Umso schöner, dass der Fußball immer für eine Überraschung gut ist.

Werder Bremen hat sich mit dem sensationellen 5:2-Sieg hoffentlich aus der Krise geschossen und in München dürfte passend zum Start des Oktoberfests die große Ernüchterung eingekehrt sein.

Bayern’s 2-5 Defeat to Bremen in Historical Perspective

0
Having had the time to digest Bayern's 2-5 mauling by Bremen (no need to rehash things here, if you need a refresher check out the excellent post at Deutsche Welle's Ballspiel or the video highlights at 101 Great Goals), I wanted to know exactly how bad it was for the Bavarians. No matter what [...] Click to continue reading...

Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan: Nerazzurri Claim First “Trophy” of the Mourinho Era

1
There are two ways to look at Tuesday night's Bayern Munich vs. Inter Milan match. The first is to say this was a pretty boring game (because in all honesty, it was). It seemed as if neither team was sufficiently inspired to get the win, and this despite the prestigious nature of the fixture (it [.. Click to continue reading...

The New Gaffer: Introducing Labbadia at Bayer Leverkusen

A look at Bayer Leverkusen's Bruno Labbadia concludes our The New Gaffer: Introducing... series this week. So far we've examined, in order: the journeyman, the company man, the stranger and, er, Martin Jol. Labbadia is a mix between a poor man's Jürgen Klinsmann and a poor man's Christian Bale (take a look! Click to continue reading...

Classic Goals: Jürgen Klinsmann vs Bayern Munich (1987)

Today is Jürgen Klinsmann's 44th birthday, which is a good excuse to post a video of this particularly beautiful goal - which would later be crowned Goal of the Year 1987.

Ngwenya on trial with Bayern Munich, was Klinsmann rumor true?

4
Former Houston Dynamo and Zimbabwe international striker Joseph Ngwenya is on a three week trial with Bayern Munich, which seems to prove a rumor that circulated back in January when Ngwenya moved to Austrian side Kärnten. The rumor had Jurgen Klinsmann 'hiding' Ngwenya in Austria until he took over as manager of Bayern. Click to continue reading...

Things That Won’t Happen (But I Wish They Would)

2

The Sun (a well-known source of completely made up news) reports that the shock name on Arsene Wenger's shopping list is Germany midfielder Torsten Frings. A shock move, because Frings is 31 years old and not at all the normal type of player. In fact, I'm only posting this because it's one of those moves (like Mario Gomez) that makes me happy just to daydream about.

Guss Hiddink to stay with Russia through 2010

0
Guss Hiddink is to every international team what Jürgen Klinsmann was to US Soccer. Meaning, every time a spot becomes available, his name is thrown into the ring.

But it looks like Hiddink has gone the way of Klinsmann and taken his name out of consideration for at least two years as he has signed a new contract with Russia through 2010. Click to continue reading...

Soon-to-be Bayern manager Jurgen Klinsmann was in Phoenix yesterday to watch baseball's Oakland A's train. His goal, pick team manager Billy Beane's brain on how to find quality talent.

Former Houston Dynamo Joseph Ngwenya has landed in the Austrian Bundesliga, but is this just a quick stop in route to Bayern Munich? Here's the speculation:
The group of people trying to help Ngwenya's career include German coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who was impressed by the striker's performance when they met at Major League Soccer side Los Angeles Galaxy.

Klinsmann settles for Bayern Munich job

Devastated by his inability to land a coaching job in the US, Juergen Klinsmann settled for the top spot with little known German side Bayern Munich. Klinsmann had desperately wanted to take control of either the US men's national team or the LA Galaxy, but he failed to impress either of them, forcing him to turn tail and run back to Germany.

LA looking at Klinsmann or Gullit - Beckham has bad night in Vancouver

13
We might know by the end of the day if a German or a Dutchman will guide the Galaxy next season. Rumor has it that Alexi Lalas and the LA franchise have narrowed their options for manager down to Juergen Klinsmann or Ruud Gullit.

Klinsmann is the constant shinning hope of US soccer organizations as he was a fantastic player, had a great spell coaching Germany in 2006, lives in America and knows the US game. Click to continue reading...

Firing season is here, which MLS coaches are the hunted?

The regular season might be over but the firing season has just begun. So which coaches are safe and who has a target on their back? Let's take a look and see.

First, those who are safe:

Tom Soehn (DC United since 2007) - Had some trouble early but regrouped the team and made them into a force. A late season let down is disappointing but nothing close to deserving a pink slip. Click to continue reading...

Will it be is old club Tottenham Hotspur or is Chelsea calling or could Alexi Lalas pull off a huge coup and land him in LA? Let's see, if I was a soccer manager, which club would I go for?

Could Klinsmann and Donovan get along?

1
Amid buzz that Jürgen Klinsmann is considering replacing Bruce
Arena as U.S. soccer's lightning rod, I wonder, how would Landon Donovan fare under Klinsmann?

I raise the question because Klinsmann remains cool about the golden boy. Speaking in January 2003 about Donovan's desire to remain in MLS rather than give Europe a try, Klinsmann said: "He has plenty of talent, football-wise. Click to continue reading...

Landon Donovan Unplugged

Landon Donovan, the golden boy of U.S. soccer, on the chances he'll return to Europe:

"I'd probably become a better soccer player just from the day-in, day-out grind of it there. But I wouldn't be a better person. I wouldn't be a happy person. I'd be pretty miserable ...

"There are a lot of factors that would go into [a possible move]: the country, the language, the people, the playing situation.
