Here's some numerical evidence to prove that it will at least be worth the wait. The numbers are coming from a Setanta Sports article [.

Here's Ivan Klasnic on the beach of Belek in Turkey, where Werder Bremen prepare for the second half of the season. Whether Klasnic really loves Werder Bremen is up for debate though.

Why Bayern Munich will win the title If Bayern's rivals had plans to beat them to the title, they should have done so in the first half of the season. Because in the second half of the season, Bayern have the matchday schedule on their side in a big way: Bayern - Bremen Bayern - HSV Schalke - Bayern Bayern [.

There's a football show in Italy called Quelli que il calcio, which airs on Rai Due. The only problem here is, that Rai Due doesn't hold the rights to Serie A, which would make a show that is all talk rather dull. So they decided to hire actors to re-enact the goals, which are then [...]

It's your birthday! And the Bundesliga is back. No more tiring training sessions and meaningless friendlies, but good old fashioned ninety minutes, which actually do count for something.
