"Es müllert wieder!" This famous slogan is only known by older german football fans, especially
for those in Western Germany. It´s a tribute to the best German striker ever named Gerd Müller.
Müller played fifteen years for the Bavarian top-club FC Bayern Munich and is holding several
scoring records.

Didier Drogba - 18%

It's time to preview the eight most important teams of the upcoming Bundesliga season.
Bayern
Pre-Season: Bayern's pre-season started like all pre-seasons during odd
numbered years by putting between 50 to 100 million Euros into circulation, to make up for not
signing anyone during the even numbered years.

It has been seven years since the national team was last in Asia. The current team manager Oliver
Bierhoff was still playing for Germany, Jürgen Klinsmann was still retired in California, Michael
Ballack and Miroslav Klose were two young players amongst a relatively unknown German selection,

That was actually the most painful thing in the matter, that you had the feeling you would have
been able to finish this job. I would have been able to lead the team to the championship.
Jürgen Klinsmann in an interview on German TV.
Should Bayern fail to win the title on Saturday, Jupp Heynckes will have a lot of explaining to
do then, I guess.

Bayern eventually overcome Klinsmann's bad karma with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Leverkusen and
with referee Thorsten Kinhöfer still confused about what constitutes a penalty nowadays following
the Champions League semis.
Had Klinsmann been still in charge, Bayern would have played poorly and van Buyten and
Demichelis would have conceded a penalty each.

It has been an interesting week in rumors.
First the managers!
Hoffenheim will say goodbye to Ralf Rangnick because he wants to spend money
this summer. They will then say hello to Jurgen Klinsmann, who is the epitome of frugality. After
all, he only forced Bayern to rebuild it's training facility.

Yesterday German news channels were reporting non-stop about the sudden, yet somewhat expected
end of Klinsmann's reign at Bayern Munich. Self-styled pundits were only briefly interrupted by
news snippets of potential new swine flu cases, followed by a statement of the leader of the
Green/Labour/whatever party on, well, Klinsmann.

With his reformist agenda dead, an embarrassing over-dependence on Frank Ribéry and a public
falling-out with key players, Klinsmann leaves with his credibility irreparably damaged.

Getting the sack as a football coach isn't really the worst thing that could happen to you and
to Jürgen Klinsmann. Except for the banking sector there probably isn't a job on this planet where
screwing up pays you so much in golden handshakes. Looking at it this way, this season's best
places in Europe to make a quick buck for just a couple of months of work and media/fan abuse
are:

This is not Manuel Neuer's way of paying tribute to one of Germany's best ever goalkeepers - it is
his way to exact revenge. Revenge for four minutes in May 2001.
Manuel Neuer was 15 when he stood in the curve of Schalke's old Parkstadion, ready to celebrate
Schalke's first championship since 1958.

(Bayern Monaco-Shalke 0-1. Altintop)
Klinsmann saluta Monaco e la Baviera. La sconfitta contro lo Shalke 04 (0 a 1 in casa, rete
decisiva di Altintop) ha fatto traboccare il vaso e l'allenatore del Bayern ha ricevuto il ben
servito presidenziale. In panchina da domani ci sar Jupp Heynckes (al ritorno al Bayern, vinse
due scudetti tra il 1987 e il 1991).

Bayern Munich's season has been a difficult one (and not just in the league) and after losing at

Jürgen Klinsmann got his wish as Bayern Munich departed the Champions League competition with
heads held high, even if Seydou Keita denied them victory on the night as Barcelona eased through
to the semi-finals with a comfortable 5-1 aggregate triumph.
After their 4-0 first-leg defeat in Catalonia, Bayern were determined to restore pride, and
appeared on course for a morale-boosting win when Franck Ribéry put them in front early in the
second half.

Even the highest dose of "Aspirin" from pharmaceutical giants Bayer AG will do little to

About ten years ago Nick Hancock co-wrote a book called What Didn't Happen Next, which was an
