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. Click to continue reading...

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′ Click to continue reading...

FC Gelsenkirchen-Schalke 04 or FC Schalke 04, is a German football club originally from the Schalke district of Gelsenkirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia. Schalke has long been one of the most popular football teams in Germany, even though major successes have been rare since the club's heyday in the 1930s and early 1940s. Click to continue reading...

I never knew how hard it would be to keep this up for 30 straight days!
Alas, I've made my readers a promise, so on I chug.

Today's big news is ... umm ... there's really not much to say.

We all know about Silva's operation. Godspeed.
We have word that Valencia haven't elected a team captain yet.

This weekend was a memorable one for Americans Abroad as two recent MLS transfers made their European club debuts, while a few other Americans found the net.

Maurice Edu (pictured) made his debut for Glasgow Rangers on Saturday in a 2-1 win over Kilmarnock while U.S. Olympic teammate Jozy Altidore impressed in his La Liga debut for Villarreal.

I thought I would include the highlights of the match of the day in the Bundesliga as Schalke 04 let their derby rivals Borussia Dortmund back into the game to gain a 3-3 draw.

Für ein Derby in der Bundesliga - besonders das zwischen BVB und S04 - benötigt man für gewöhnlich einen gestandenen Schiedsrichter, welcher mit hitzigen Spielen umgehen kann. Genau solch einen gab es beim Samstags-Spiel Dortmund gegen Schalke nicht. So wurde vom DFB der Unparteiische Lutz Wagner angesetzt. Click to continue reading...

You know what one of the best things about the upcoming FIFA 09 is? You can do 'the robot' after you score if you so choose. All I can say is thank f*ck they've got some old guys on the development team, otherwise we'd see Jozy doing some Souja Boy "Crank Dat" sh*t. And no one wants that. Click to continue reading...

While this is expected to become a weekly column, I have decided to hand out the first Weekly XI based on the cumulative efforts of the first three weeks.  I will use a 3-4-3 formation for my picks.

You can call Deportivo La Coruna Team CONCACAF.

Led by Canadian captain Julian De Guzman (above, left) and featuring Mexican winger Andres Guardado and striker Omar Bravo, Deportivo boasts a wealth of talent from the CONCACAF region. That group helped Deportivo pull off one of the upsets of the weekend, a 2-1 victory against Real Madrid.

While it's clear that Manchester United has not played like the best club in the world recently, it's equally clear that none of the other top clubs in the world seem to want to take the top spot over. As a case in point, let's look at last week's top six. While United fell to Zenit St. Petersburg in the UEFA Super Cup, four of the five clubs directly behind it in the rankings (Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Roma) all managed no more than a draw or, in Real's case, a loss.

Bayern Munich coach Juergen Klinsmann can invest in a few new Buddha statues for the team's locker room after hammering Hertha Berlin 4-1 for the Bavarians' first win of the season. After two lackluster draws, the victory puts Bayern within two points of league leaders Schalke 04.
Luca Toni scored for the first time this season early in the match, and defender Philipp Lahm curled home a pretty shot for Bayern's second goal. Click to continue reading...

DIRK KUYT has warned that Liverpool's luck will run out if they continue to under-perform – resulting in an early Champions League exit.

Yesterday's draw for the group stages paired Fernando Torres with his former club, Atletico Madrid, who finished fourth in La Liga last season.

Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven are also in Group D as well as Marseille, who shocked Liverpool 1-0 in the group stages at Anfield last season. Click to continue reading...

Oh dear...
The debate on whether German soccer is good enough to challenge for the major European honors will no doubt start again in earnest today as Schalke 04 arrive back in Germany after being humiliated 4-0 in Madrid.
Schalke, the German team which got the furthest in the competition last season by reaching the quarter-finals, were taken apart by Atletico in the Estadio Calderon on Wednesday night, bringing new coach Fred Rutten's Champions League adventure to a very premature close.

Though we were not impressed with Liverpool coming into the season (a view that was not exactly expunged by their first few performances on the pitch), we didn't think qualifying for the Champions League would be anywhere near this difficult. We shrugged off the scoreless draw in the first leg as an anomaly Stevie G and co. Click to continue reading...

Koca poposu, göbeği ile futbolcuya pek benzemiyordu. Werder Bremen'deki 168 maçta 88 golünün hatrına, Schalke 04'ten alınmıştı Beşiktaş'a.

We've just finished week two of the Bundesliga season and even after reviewing two week's worth of matches and reintroducing myself to the sides, I'm left wondering what team to support. I've ruled out my adopted hometown because they're playing in the Bundesliga's second division -- and probably will be for some time. Click to continue reading...

The story of the Bundesliga's second week must be the fact that a village team now heads the top league in Germany.
Hoffenheim defeated fellow promoted side Borussia Moenchengladbach 1-0 to go top of the table as the only team with maximum points after two matches. This could change if Wolfsburg beat Bochum by a large margin in one of the Sunday games but as David Bowie once said, "Hoffenheim can be heroes. Click to continue reading...
