You can read all about what's going above at Dan Steinberg's D.C. Sports Bog, but the quick
story is that today was the inaugural "Haircut-Off '08" between rookie Dan Stratford and
season ticker holder Karen Hennessee (who also happens to be a professional
haircutter/stylist/barber/hairdresser).
Today, second Bundesliga side FC St. Pauli announced a sponsoring deal with Orion, a mail order
shop selling an assortment of erotic products. Orion will get some advertising space in St. Pauli's
Millerntor stadium and supply the club's fan shop with 20000 St. Pauli branded condoms. If you ask
yourself what type of club attracts and [.
BILD have launched an English version of their webpage, which also includes a Bundesliga section.
What can English-speaking Bundesliga fans expect? Well, nudity, nudity and even when an article is
about transfers it'll have the word boobs in the title. (BILD.de) The Guardian republishes an
article by Norman Crossland, which was originally written ahead of the [.
It was the European Champions Cup (as in: Champions League) final in Brussel back in 1974. Bayern
had reached the final for the first time. The match ended in a scoreless draw after 90 minutes and
was forced into extra time. Then, current Spain coach Luis Aragones converted a free kick to give
Madrid the [.
Football in Germany has long been savoured as one of the last male refuges. As such anything pink
has so far been exclusively reserved for Tim Wiese and his skin tight goalkeeper jerseys. But the
times are changing and through the years more and more girls started to wrap their minds around the
passive offside [.
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. Final score:
Stuttgart 3-0 Bayern. Klinsmann was still playing for VfB Stuttgart back then and ended the season
as the league's leading goalscorer and was [.
March 4th, 1988. Exactly 20 years ago the DFB forbid then Bundesliga side FC Homburg to print the
word London on their jerseys. It had nothing to do with any anti-English sentiments though. It
wasn't the London of Arsenal and Spurs, but the London of uh - the condom company. It was way below
the [...
March 11th, 2007. It was a Saturday and Bayern played at home against Werder Bremen. In the sixth
minute Lukas Podolski opened the scoring with a simple tap-in from a Mark van Bommel cross. Markus
Rosenberg equalised for Bremen in the 66th minute. It was the last time Lukas Podolski scored a
goal in the [.
Here are Werder Bremen's Otto Rehagel and Rudi Vller during a match against Nuremberg back in
1983. Rudi Vller was the man in the shadows and Shazback got it right with the very first comment.
It was probably a bit misleading, given that Rudi Vller ended his playing career years ago, but
calling the post [.
This feature is long over due. Marko Marin is a 19 year old youngster playing for Borussia
Mönchengladbach. He debuted in the Bundesliga late in the 2006/2007 season. He came on as a
substitute in a game against Eintracht Frankfurt and crowned his cameo with an assist, which helped
Gladbach to a last minute 1-1 [.
Yesterday, VfL Bochum, as in Shinji Ono ft. Bochum, played out a friendly against the Yokohama F.
Marinos which ended 1-1. At the same time Bayern Munich played against the recent Asian Champions
League winners Urawa Red Diamonds and won 4-2. I don't know about Bochum's draw, but the Bayern
game was quite entertaining.
Right in time for the biggest derby in Germany: a 25 minute documentary to help you brush up on
your Schalke and Borussia Dortmund knowledge. The documentary was filmed before, during and after
the infamous 2006/2007 derby, which Dortmund won 2-0 to crush Schalke's title dreams. Two seasons
later emotions have cooled down a bit, [.
