In today's other Bundesliga action:

In the light of ever more Hoffenheim table topping, coverage and hype, I thought it might be interesting to take a look at how much of their success is Dietmar Hopp's money and how much of it is Ralf Rangnick's genius. While at it, I decided to do the same for the remaining 17 Bundesliga [...] Click to continue reading...

A must read interview with Hoffenheim's sugar daddy Dietmar Hopp. (Spiegel Online) The swimsuit edition of the Hoffenheim story. And a small correction: the article quotes Ralf Rangnick as saying Hoffenheim has the same budget as Energie Cottbus. He was comparing Hoffenheim's wage budget (€23m) with Cottbus' overall budget (€23m). Click to continue reading...

It appeared inevitable and now it's been confirmed as Borussia Möchengladbach fired trainer Jos Luhukay today in their wake of their defeat to Köln (and their fourth straight). After seven games, six of which they've lost, Gladbach sit at the bottom of the table with only three points. The team was perhaps too [. Click to continue reading...

For a goal of the month quality goal by Jan Schlaudraff we need two ingredients: a = a chipped ball over an onrushing goalkeeper. We'll take Hannover's second / Jan Schlaudraff's first goal against Borussia Mönchengladbach from this weekend (5-1). b = a great little run from left to right, dribbling past the entire back line of [.

Gladbach's victory over the stalwart's of the league, Werder Bremen, gave us a glimpse at a team that has been revitalized under Jos Luhukay and Christian Ziege, and could well be in for a bright future. The addition of Michael Bradley added another young international the next day. So what is it about [. Click to continue reading...

Scouting sisteminin önemini klavyem yettiğince yazmıştım. Aklıma takılan bir ismi, Élber Giovane'i araştırırken gördüm ki kendisi 'scout' olmuş. Uzun seneler formasını giydiği Bayren Münih için Brezilyalı genç yetenekleri araştırıyormuş. Almanya Ligi'nin Bundesliga olduğunu yeni öğrendiğimiz zamanlarda adını ezberlemiştik.

If you were wondering what number Michael Bradley will wear at Borussia Mönchengladbach the answer it is 26. Also if you were wondering what size to buy a Borussia Mönchengladbach kit with Bradley's name and number on the back for me, it's large. No, make it XL since winter is coming and I plan on eating loads of pasta's, crock pot creations and gumbo. Click to continue reading...

Michael Bradley's move from Heerenveen in the Dutch League to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the German Bundesliga is a great move. It is a step up for Bradley in terms of competition, and after the success he had last season its the next logical step for him. Many Dutch players follow this path of moving to a club in the Bundesliga for this exact same reason. Click to continue reading...

A valid question asked in a comment on the Soccer By Ives blog, after Michael Bradley's move from SC Heerenveen to Borussia Mönchengladbach had been confirmed. For one, Mönchengladbach as a city is not big or important enough to inspire foreigners to give it an easier to spell and pronounce name. Mönchengladbach as a name is [. Click to continue reading...

I guess Alexander Baumjohann's impressive solo-run starting within his own half of the field would be even more impressive, if he had scored it against the defense of one of the seventeen Bundesliga sides not coached by Thomas Schaaf. Baumjohann is 21 years old and joined Borussia Mönchengladbach back in 2006 from Schalke. Click to continue reading...

Gerade mal 21 Jahre alt, 1,73m klein und ein Name wie eine deutsche Eiche: Alexander Baumjohann ist ein Name, den man so schnell wohl nicht mehr vergessen wird. Im gestrigen Spiel gegen Werder Bremen trumpfte er groß auf: zwei mal auf der Linie geklärt und dann auch noch die gesamte Defensivabteilung der Bremer vernascht. Click to continue reading...

I've been waiting for this match a long time. I've really been looking forward to the Rapids participating in the USA – Mexico rivalry. For those who don't know, UANL is actually a collegiate club who participates in Mexico's Premier Division. It's been a long time since they've won the Mexican Championship, even with two chances a year to do so.

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 [. Click to continue reading...
