Every league experiences them, sometimes more than once. That's a weekend where the championship contenders all contrive to lose the initiative.
We'll begin with a shock defeat to Hamburg who were at home to 'Gladbach. A fixture, rare in the Bundesliga as one in which you should have been able to put the house on a home win. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool's defender Fábio Aurélio was handed the chance of winning a place in Brazil's World Cup squad yesterday when he was named for next month's friendlies against England in Doha and Oman in Muscat.
The coach, Carlos Dunga, has named a 24-man squad made up of Europe-based players in order not to disrupt Brazilian clubs in the run-in to their championship. Click to continue reading...

Dunga announced today the players who will play the last 2 matches of the year (against England and Oman). And he had a few surprises. Given that he decided not to call players from Brazilian clubs (and therefore was unable to call Adriano and Diego Tardelli), he called forward Hulk. But he wasn't the only surprise.

Hulk, Michel Bastos, Fábio Aurélio, Carlos Eduardo

Dunga has called up 24 players to face England on November 14th in Doha, Qatar, and Oman three days later in Muscat.

The squad includes Liverpool's Lucas and Fábio Aurélio plus Manchester City's Robinho. Porto frontman, Givanildo Vieira de Souza (Hulk), gets his first call-up.

It's one of the worst situations in football business, when you have no more opportunities to resort to excuses, especially when you're mainly responsible for the prosperity of your team.

When Thomas Tuchel took charge of Mainz on the eve of the Bundesliga season, eyebrows were raised and concerns expressed. What chance would a newly promoted club have? What chaos must they be in to change managers before a ball is kicked? Well, it looks as though we needn't have worried. Click to continue reading...

Extra Time. We can end the debate about where the seven minutes of extra time came from in the Manchester derby. They were taken from the Bundesliga's three Sunday fixtures, where the refs decided to call it a day after pretty much exactly 90 minutes. It's not really a coincidence but rather an annoying habit.

It's been a pretty good Tuesday around the world of soccer. Jozy Alitdore scored his first goal for Hull City and some young Americans are getting their shot in Germany. I know I've been a bit quiet these last couple of days, just expect more of that in the coming couple weeks as my wedding and honeymoon approach.

(1-0. Ivanschitz)
(2-0. Bance)
(2-1. aut. di Noveski)
Due punti in tre gare, ma soprattutto la pesante sconfitta, la prima della stagione, in casa del Magonza, club neopromosso in Bundesliga. Risultati di calcio che incominciano a preoccupare in casa dei bavaresi del Bayern Monaco, i quali rimediano, appunto, l'imprevisto e grave stop nella terza giornata di campionato, piegati inesorabilmente nel primo tempo dai gol di Ivanschitz e Bance, e ora devono fare i conti con una classifica che si fa sempre più in salita, in virtù dei risultati di calcio ottenuti fino a questo momento.

Can this man exult any less?

Bayern Munich fully understands that its nemesis is Felix Magath who left the club disgraced two years ago. He came back to win the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg. Before the season was up, the protean Magath had signed a deal as Schalke's new coach.

Both clubs are on top of the Bundesliga while Bayern has managed two effete draws.

Werder took a point from Alianz Arena (1:1) and if we are to judge from the play, the visitors deserved to take three points. 69 000 people at the sold-out stadium in Munich saw German international, Turkish-born Mehmet Ozil open the score minutes before the break. Mario Gomez was the one to level the score 73 minutes into the game with the assistance of Phillip Lahm.
