Sergej Barbarez just went through a stereotypical villain-to-hero cycle at Bayer Leverkusen. First
booed by the fans, he has by now proven to be a worthy stand-in for the injured Bernd Schneider.
And so it was time to kiss and make up with the fans after Leverkusen thrashed Duisburg 4-1. Rene
Adler contributed to the [.
If you want to check out how each Bundesliga team performed during the off-season, here is all you
need. All pre-season friendlies (I hope) and links to video highlights if available. Bayern Munich

One of the few positive side-effects of the dark and cold winter days is the extensive use of
floodlights at football stadiums. Bayer Leverkusen - MSV Duisburg (4-1).
The first half of the season is officially over, and Bayern have claimed the so called
Herbstmeisterschaft (autumn championship), which doesn't mean anything and isn't won in autumn
either. But a lot in football is about psychology and weird statistics. One weird statistic says
that 87% of the teams who won the autumn championship also [.
I've tried to compile all the jerseys of all current Bundesliga clubs, so that we can judge,
whether teams that are bound to play crap and go through a disappointing season at least die in
beauty - or the other way round. I consider my work to be complete, except for a few away jerseys
[...]
It's a big day today. The Bundesliga finally starts into the new season, and after Greg already
gave you his fearless predictions for the Superliga, while Sam dubbed his Ligue 1 forecast
fail-proof, I decided to tell you how everything will play out in this years Bundesliga season as
well. And mind you, after I [...]
Bayern Munich did their best to keep us entertained during the week with their dressing room
catfights. Basically all European clubs kept us entertained in their fight to sign Rafael van der
Vaart. And there was more: Oliver Kahn got suspended... (Bayern Offside) ...presumably because he
skipped his much loved annual stand-up comedy act, that had become [.
Best Bundesliga Debut a) Tobias Grahn (Hertha BSC Berlin) b) Martin Harnik (Werder Bremen)
Best goal celebration a) Manasseh Ishiaku (MSV Duisburg) b) A team effort by Boubacar Sanogo, Diego
and Hugo Almeida (Werder Bremen)
Some good news from the European stage at last. The UEFA Cup may lack the mass appeal of its big
European brother, but it's still nice to see, that all four Bundesliga clubs made it to the group
stage. It helps soothe the Champions League wounds a bit. And not all European top leagues were
[...]
This week has been all about: Friendship - or lack of. (Hertha Offside) Team mates - or lack of.
(Werder Offside) Beards. (Bundesliga Offside) Buttocks. (Bundesliga Offside) Kits. (Bundesliga
Offside) European success. (Hamburg Offside) European disappointment. (Bayern Offside)
A lot has happened but fairly little has changed this weekend. And tempers were running a bit wild.
Lactate Testing is currently all the buzz since Jürgen Klinsmann sharpened the media's attention
for the importance of an athletes' fitness levels. A footballer that gets pinched into his ear with
a tiny needle is thus the must broadcast footage of a club's training session. And that means of
course: the holidays are over for our [...]

The UEFA Cup and Champions League draw just took place. The lone Bundesliga representative Schalke
04 picked up FC Porto as their next opponent in the Champions League. Porto and Sevilla were high
on the wishlists of high profile second placed teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Roma etc. So, people
seem to think those two were [.
The early rounds of the DFB-Pokal or any domestic cup competition are rare places, where negative,
destructive and defensive football is cherished and encouraged. It's not about wanting the best
team to win but rather the weakest - the lower the league the better. Here is a quick check to see
how the first round of [...]
Bayern Munich isn't invincible Though it took 87 minutes on Sundays match against Hamburg to come
to this conclusion. When I read that Rafael van der Vaart couldn't play against Bayern, due to a
minor injury he picked up during training, I was worried that this could turn out to be a gifted
victory for the [...]
Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 Uniao Leiria Leverkusen controlled a good portion of the match but were always
vulnerable at the back and too generous with their chances up front. They were lucky that two 50:50
decisions by the referee went in their favour. The result is OK, though Leira got an important away
goal so Leverkusen has [...]
I had already started covering a tiny bit (the Friday night match bit) of this matchday in a
previous post, and some sad news came out of Berlin's 1-0 defeat to Schalke. Lucio, one of Berlin's
most promising summer signings, twisted his knee so badly that his cruciate knee ligaments, patella
tendon and meniscus were [...]
Abby, Chris and Angela already covered most of this weekend's biggest games, so this recap is
basically just a quick reminder to visit their blogs. And it's for completeness' sake too. Werder
Bremen 2-1 Hamburger SV Bremen won the northern derby, to much of the dismay of Chris over at the
Hamburg Offside.
It wasn't meant to be for Bayer Leverkusen back in 2002. Instead of winning their first ever
Bundesliga and Champions League title, it was Neverkusen all over again. They choked in the league
(as always) and were denied by Zinedine Zidane in the Champions League final. May it serve as
consolation, that it wasn't some [.

Twelve goals are better than eleven. Otherwise this matchday would have equaled the Bundesliga's
negative record. The 26th matchday of the 1989/1990 season and the 20th matchday of the 1998/1999
season will thus continue to share the dubious honour of being the lowest scoring matchdays in
Bundesliga history. Despite this letdown, the Bundesliga is still the [.
I should have written a short blog post that mentions and celebrates the fact that Germany will
host the Women's World Cup in 2011. To make up for it a little, here's a link to a blog post, that
mentions and celebrates the fact that Germany will host the Women's World Cup in 2011. (Reuters
