So yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and thusly the
reunification of Germany. To mark the occasion I watched the rather brilliant film Goodbye Lenin!
(recommended, if you haven't seen it), which basically takes place during the fall of the Berlin
Wall, from the East German perspective.

Bei vielen Spielen und vielen Spielern vermisse ich eine Freude, die sich aufs Publikum
überträgt, es ist zu viel Dienst nach Vorschrift, zu emotionslos.

Allgemeinen Zeitung.

Tuesday and Wednesday have seen some decent games in the midweek round of the Torneo Apertura, with
Estudiantes regaining top spot with a 2-1 away win over Godoy Cruz on Tuesday, hours after
champions Vélez moved into sixth (two points off the top) with a 2-1 win over Atlético Tucumán
that came thanks to a [.

Barely has the dust settled from the tenth round, so full of action that the superclásico was all
but forgotten about by anyone reasonable, than the next round of matches is starting. It's a big
round for both Avellaneda clubs: Newell's host Racing on Tuesday afternoon for some reason Racing's
new manager, Lothar Matthäus [.

Here's something that does not happen every day in Argentine football, to say the
least.
German football legend Lothar Matthäus has reached an agreement with Racing Club to become the
club's new manager.
I haven't done the research but I do not believe that a German or a European has ever managed an
Argentine club.

Three teams are tied on twenty points at the top of the Torneo Apertura after Saturday's matches,
and San Lorenzo could join them on Sunday. As well as Central's 2-0 win over Independiente,
Estudiantes had already won on Friday night, 1-0 over Atlético Tucumán, and on Saturday Banfield
(3-0 at home to Godoy Cruz) and [.

Die unendliche Geschichte um Lothar Matthäus und seine musterhafte Trainerkarriere
schreibt offenbar bald ein neues Kapitel. Bisher liest sich die Liste seiner Stationen wie eine
Bewerbung auf den Trainerposten der Nationalmannschaft in der Nach-Löw-Ära. Gestern Mittag noch
als neuer Verteidigungsminister gehandelt, wird Loddar laut Medienberichten vom argentinischen
Erstligisten und Traditionsverein Racing Club de Avellaneda umworben.

Obwohl es nie einen Kontakt gab, geschweige denn ein ernsthaftes Gespräch, ist jetzt plötzlich
von einer Absage an Matthäus die Rede. Das klingt wie eine Niederlage und schadet mir. Und es ist
noch absurd dazu: Ich verliere, obwohl ich gar nicht mitgespielt habe.
Lothar Matthäus, Rekordnationalspieler Deutschlands, sucht einen Trainerjob in Deutschland,
aber es klappt nicht so richtig.

bold at the foot of this post

and truly eventful, feast. But already the biggest sides in Germany are preparing to go at it
again. Here, we take a look at ten of the best new imports set to light up Deutschland this
season:

Taking a page out of Lothar Matthäus' Book of Macking, Back in the Day England, Tottenham,
Manchester United and West Ham hitman Teddy Sheringham MBE is supposedly about to shack up with his
23-year old squeeze Kristina Andriotis. Nuff respect to 43-year old Teddy for proving that some of
the old boys still have it even [.

A bitter loss for Werder Bremen in the UEFA-Cup final yesterday, as they were defeated 2-1 by
Schachtjor Donezk in extra-time. Without players like Diego, Per Mertesacker or Hugo Almeida,
Bremen hoped to get through the extra 30minutes and into the penalty shoot-up while having with Tim
Wiese an excellent goalkeeper between the posts.

For many years, the sole purpose of a DEFENDER was to stay back and protect the goal. They were
seen but almost never heard. The soccer equivalent of freshmen Senators, offensive linemen, and
models. There wasn't much glory, but it was a necessary part of the game. However, the game started

Bayern München and Germany legend Lothar Matthäus and his fourth his wife Kristina
Liliana are at the FIFA World Player Gala 2008 today. From the looks of things, it appears that
even though Matthäus hung up his boots back in 2000, he still has some game left in his. The
48-year old current Maccabi Netanya [.

Offensichtlich aus Wut vor der Nichtberücksichtigung bei der Trainerauswahl in Rostock, hat
sich Lothar Matthäus Ärger in seiner Wahlheimat Israel eingehandelt. Bei einem Ligaspiel
zwischen seinem Verein Maccabi Netanya und Maccabi Petah Tikva beschimpfte Loddar den Schiri
derart, dass er neben einer Sperre von zwei Ligaspielen auch gleich 1500 Euro hinterherschieben
muss.

Nachdem Hansa Rostock heute erst bekannt gab, dass Trainer Frank Pagelsdorf gemeinsam mit

Cheftrainer in Rostock vorstellen.

Maybe you've seen this before, but until Thursday, I had not. I was searching for the clip of the
1999 Champions League Final that includes Clive Tyldesley's famous call of "What must Lothar
Matthäus be thinking? Well, with the greatest respect, who cares?"
I couldn't find that clip, so if you have it, feel free to send me the link.

Lothar Matthäus, der so genannte Strafraumausstatter, steht in seinem ersten Interview, befragt
von Günter Koch, Rede und Antwort. Lothar gibt zu, dass manchmal auch seine Mutter die
Fußballschuhe putzt, wenn er keine Zeit hat. Er will ja schließlich seine Lehre als
Raumausstatter erfolgreich beenden, bevor er den Profifußball unsicher macht.
