Let's not beat around the bush. This thing about Landon Donovan moving to Bavarian titans Bayern Munich has been floating around the Inter-nets for a couple weeks. It gained steam a couple days ago in an ESPN.com story where Donovan basically said he wants to move to Germany, or someplace in Europe to give it another crack after two colossal failures at Bayer Leverkausen where he initially signed Click to continue reading...

So Landon Donovan may go to Bayern Munich, eh? My trusty volume of Wikipedia informs me that Bayern's current squad includes Luca Toni, Lukas Podolski and Miroslav Klose at forward, with attacking midfielders such as Franck Ribery and Ze Roberto.

Where does Landon fit in all this? Click to continue reading...

This week Andrea Canales got the US faithful abuzz with a nice article on a potential Landon Donovan return to Europe. Your faithful vagabond has been sniffing about this week checking on the possibility that Landon Donovan has attracted interest from Bundesliga power Bayern Munich. So far the results indicate that people have taken Andrea's speculation and twisted it into something it is not; a rumor. Click to continue reading...

The Europoseur's favorite USA coaching candidate (and admittedly mine too) Jurgen Klinsmann has led Bayern Munich into crisis, winning only two matches of five. The headline to the right (How great is that front page, btw?) came after this weekend's 5-2 to Werder Bremen. Maybe JK was a one-hit wonder with an experienced German team [.

Werder Bremen repaid Bayern Munich for their 4-0 drubbing last season by stunning the German giants 5-2 at the Allianz Arena. In front of a capacity 69,000 crowd Bremen pumped in five, before Tim Borowski, signed from Bremen in the summer, pulled two back for Bayern. It was Bayern's first home loss of the 2008-09 [.

Here are the highlights from the goalfest in Munich in what was definitely the game of the day. Make sure to check out the goal from Germany's 19 year old sensation Mesut Özil. It was one of the best I've seen for awhile and this guy looks like he's going to be a top class player.

As you may know former longtime Germany and Bayern no. 1 Oliver Kahn had his testimonial exactly a week ago in Munich. The match, between Bayern and Germany, ended 1-1, but the score was less important than the man honored that night.

The madness never stops. Now Bayern Munich are rumoured to be interested in Dimitar Berbatov, with the Bundesliga club supposedly cutting in line ahead of Manchester United (to whom Tottenham are less than keen on selling their star forward). I don't believe it for a second, especially since Bayern have 3 very good strikers already in Klose, [. Click to continue reading...

The opponent's attack is cleared up by Kolo Toure. Cesc Fabregas drops deeps as others bomb forward. He receives the ball facing his own goal. After a one touch pass to Sagna and back Cesc has the ball, driving forward. He sees Hleb making run, immediately releasing the ball directly in his path. After beating his man and laying off for Van Persie, who feeds Cesc in an incubation zone of players, Hleb moves further down the wing. Click to continue reading...

Werder Bremen have done it twice, [. Click to continue reading...

It wasn't a big surprise, but it is a big move. Seattle now has a world-class 'keeper tending it's nets.

Listening to Keller though, who was born in Olympia and grew up in Lacey I believe, it appears as though playing on the field is only one of his goals.

I would love to be what (Franz) Beckenbauer has become to Bayern Munich for example.

Borussia Dortmund's new head coach Juergen Klopp made a good impression with the BVB fans last night as his new-look team beat Bayern Munich 2-1 in the preseason T-Home Super Cup. Included in the starting 11 was young American defender Neven Subotic whom Klopp brought with him from FSV Mainz.

Subotic looked nervous during the early going but started to show his stuff in the 26th minute with a terrific 45-meter pass to Delron Buckley to set up a dangerous chance for BVB. Click to continue reading...

This "just in". Marcello Gallardo and Gonzalo Peralta off to Munich to see a groin specialist (what a title!).

The whole grubby "Ronaldo to Madrid" saga is taking all of the usual ups and downs at the moment (you know: Madrid whisper sweet nothings at a player under contract to someone else and insinuate that the move is on to the press; the press print stories and elicit angry denials from the club holding the player's registration; the player comes out with his desire to play for Madrid; Madrid innocently claim they have definitely not tried to tap up the player; other club threatens to let the player rot in the reserves for the duration of his contract.

The injury sustained by French international Franck Ribery in the team's loss to Italy during the final phase of the group stage during Euro 2008 will cost the midfielder to miss the start of the 2008-2009 Bundesliga season.
