Borussia Monchengladbach vs Bayern Munich 3-1 Highlights 2012 Video Goals Reus Herrmann Schweinsteiger is a post from Soccer Blogger.

'Gladbach - Bayern Munich 2:30pm ET - GolTV 1st versus 4th in the Bundesliga, with Bayern in their historic spot at the top of the table. 'Gladbach trail by four points and 19 goals, with Bayern picking up the season after the winter break on a three-game win streak. These two teams opened their seasons against each other, with 'Gladbach winning 1-0 at Allianz Arena.

Back before the Bundesliga hibernation began, Jermaine Jones landed in hot water for his hunt-and-stamp on the injured toe of Gladbach's superstar. Rather shameful really, and since then, their fates have diverged.

Marco Reus got his big money move to Borussia Dortmund yesterday, while Jones netted a two month suspension for a litany of offenses, prime among them his complete disrespect for the art of subtlety.

Marco Reus, the rising star in the German Bundesliga having helped Borussia Mönchengladbach to a respectable fourth place during the winter break, will be leaving the club at the end of the season to play for Borussia Dortmund.

It was announced today on Mönchengladbach's website that the player will remain at the club for the 2011-12 season before signing a five year deal with the current German champions Dortmund for a transfer fee of 17,5 million Euros.

The Liverpool FC/Borussia Moenchengladbach fourth consecutive Fan party in Liverpool has been declared 'an outstanding success'. Fan party organizer Graham Agg said it was an honour for the Liverpool supporters to once again host our friends from the Borussia Moenchengladbach Official Supporters Club.

Fabian Johnson and Daniel Williams were all smiles as they reached the DFB Cup quarterfinal, while Jermaine Jones and Timothy Chandler were both knocked out of the competition by Gladbach and Furth.

Bayern are catching up with Barcelona. Philipp Lahm may speak the truth but his sense of timing is really a bit off this season. Whether it is publishing memoirs in the middle of his career, or making bold claims a day ahead of embarrassing defeats for both Barcelona and Bayern. He just can't get it right.

Those were 150.000 Euros not well spent for Wolfsburg. Felix Magath loaned Aliaksandr Hleb from Barcelona for a special €100k per game and €50k per goal fee. Thus, Magath's total expenses for Saturday's trip to Dortmund added up to €150k, not counting the damage Dortmund's fresh in form offense caused all afternoon.

Several things, really, but let's not blow the whole party all at once. Let's go one at a time and then nobody has a stroke on me. I can now confirm, via 'Gladbach, that Michael Bradley has physically left campus to travel for the purpose of completing a transfer. Adding that to what I reported yesterday, and it's only a matter of formality and time before we can officially close that case.

The Bundesliga is back in its 49th incarnation and Friday's curtain raiser was both wonderful and frightening frightening at least for Bayern, Leverkusen and who else might have had vague hopes to win the league next year.

Dortmund 3-1 Helpless SV. Defending champions Dortmund kicked off the new season in style and with a promise of beautiful football, only they seem to be able to deliver this season.

Heute Abend gehts um die Wurst. Die Arbeit einer ganzen Saison steht auf dem Spiel. Während Gladbach den Strohhalm Relegation nutzen kann eine schlechte Saison nochmal zu retten, geht es für Bochum darum nicht in zwei Spielen das weg zu werfen, was man sich in einer ganzen Saison erspielt hat. Doch wer ist im Vorteil bei diesen Relegationsspielen, der Bundesligist der viele viele Spiele verloren hat und nicht überzeugen konnte, oder ist es der Zweitligist, welcher eine gute Saison gespielt hat und viele Siege einfahren konnte?

Lange Zeit war Borussia Mönchengladbach das Schlusslicht der Fußball-Bundesliga; doch kurz vor Schluss rettete Lucien Favre – der Nachfolger des während der Saison entlassenen Trainers Michael Frontzeck – die Gladbacher doch noch auf den 16. Tabellenplatz. Dadurch konnte die Borussia den direkten Abstieg zumindest abwenden; der Klassenerhalt ist jedoch auch noch nicht geschafft.

Der 33. Spieltag der Saison 2010/2011 in der Fußball-Bundesliga ist absolviert; wie an den letzten zwei Spieltagen üblich, fanden dabei alle neun Partien um 15.30 Uhr statt. Der Meister stand mit Borussia Dortmund bereits fest, dafür war es im Abstiegskampf richtig spannend, denn sieben Vereine schwebten noch in der Gefahr, am Saisonende abzusteigen.

Wenn man mich fragt wer meiner Meinung nach der Verlierer der Saison ist, dann muss ich ganz klar sagen: Der HSV! Nicht einer der zukunftigen Zweitligisten oder der FC Bayern München, sondern der Hamburger SV. Mit hohen Erwartungen und Trainer Armin Veh war man in die Saison gestartet, der Neuanfang sollte her, man wollte mit einem namentlich starkem Kader eigentlich um die Meisterschaft spielen, aber nichts wurde daraus.

Das Freitagsspiel der Bundesliga lautete gestern Abend, Mainz 05 gegen Borussia Mönchengladbach, also Europaleagueanwärter gegen Absteiger. Wie die Paarung schon verspricht wurde es das erwartet eher durchwachsene Spiel, in welchem Mainz am Ende den Borussen duch Schürle sein 1:0, den Last-Minute-K.

Here's a different way of looking at positive leverage. In the spirit of analyses that have looked at teams' ability to generate and take advantage of chances in a match, it's a way to identify teams that both generate positive leverage situations and manage to, well, leverage them for a win.
Here's what the graphs show.

Am morgigen Dienstag geht es endlich mit Fussball weiter. Im Mönchengladbacher Borussia-Park lässt unsere Nationalelf die Länderspielwoche mit einem Testkick ausklingen. Dabei könnten die BVB-Youngster Götze, Großkreutz und Hummels wieder eine Chance bekommen, was hoffentlich das Spiel belebt damit die bösen Fans nicht wieder pfeifen.

Tja Gladbach, das wars dann wohl. Bis gestern Abend hab ich noch gedacht " Das wird nochmal spannend mit dem Favre und die kommen bestimmt nochmal ran", aber wer so gegen einen direkten Konkurenten spielt... 2.Liga wir kommen! Dieser Kick war nicht Bundesliga-reif! Kein Wunder, dass ein krasser Patzer entschied: Gladbach-Keeper Logan Bailly stümperte sich den Ball zum 0:1 selbst ins Tor.

BERLIN, Germany — Bundesliga bottom side Borussia Moenchengladbach sacked their coach Michael Frontzeck on Sunday, 24 hours after their 3-1 German league defeat at St Pauli. 'Gladbach are seven points from safety at the foot of the table and 46-year-old Frontzeck, who has been in charge for 18 months, was shown the door after his [.

Ich habe protestiert, aber ich habe es nicht gesehen.

Michael Frontzeck, Trainer von Borussia Mönchengladbach, hat bei einem nicht gegebenen Tor im Spiel Gladbach gegen Frankfurt einfach mal protestiert mit Erfolg!

With the news that US international Michael Bradley has been loaned out to EPL side Aston Villa from Borussia Moenchengladbach until the end of the season, the young midfielder has taken yet another positive step in his development.
Jeff Carlisle of ESPN.com writes of how Bradley's move to Villa is the next natural progression in his rise to domestic and international success.

This morning, Kicker reports that it was Fenerbahçe, and not Galatasaray, who has had an offer accepted by 'Gladbach for Michael Bradley. They also say Aston Villa have come in with a loan offer, which the player favors.And now you know why I didn't have a Gala report; their offer was not good enough.

Ives Galarcep reports that U.S. midfielder Michael Bradley could be headed to the English Premier League, whose sixth-place Sunderland is lining up an offer to his German club, Borussia Moenchengladbach.
Bradley is seen as a possible replacement for captain Lee Cattermole, who has been battling a back injury.

Which teams are the worst (and best) defensive teams in the big leagues of European soccer? Let's take a look at defensive performance so far this year - since it's roughly the halfway mark everywhere, these numbers should be more or less comparable across teams and leagues (assuming that the leagues are similar in important ways, which we know to be sorta true from previous analyses I've posted here .
