Eigentlich sollte Markus Babbel mindestens bis zur Winterpause Trainer des VfB Stuttgart
bleiben. Nach dem erneut schwachen Auftreten der VfB-Profis am vergangenen Spieltag gegen den VfL
Bochum, bei dem man in der letzten Spielminute noch den 1:1-Ausgleich kassierte und bei dem die
Fans die organisierte Stimmung im Stadion verweigerten, dagegen nach dem Spiel vor der VIP-Tribüne
ihren Unmut äußerten, sahen sich die Verantwortlichen des VfB Stuttgart zum Handeln
gezwungen.

Dem BVB bleibt das Verletzungspech treu. Nachdem schon mit Sebastian Kehl und Tamas Hajnal zwei
Leistungsträger die Hinrunde abhaken mussten, hat es nun auch Dauerbrenner Dede getroffen. Erst

auch "nur" ein Innenbandriss.

ex-Chairman's son-in-law, to their ex-manager's club only to see him score against the employers
who were still paying 90% of his wages? No? Well it happened this weekend as Marcel Seip edged a
Charlie Adam free kick past Romain Larrieu, his Plymouth Argyle teammate of over three seasons.

midfielder with a move to Liverpool.
The Slovenian teenager is regarded as an exciting prospect for the future and Liverpool are

Up until last week, the Brasileirao seemed the tournament no one wanted to win. The favorites
kept losing points with pale football. But the 30th round shows signs of change by two sides.
Flamengo and Atletico-MG want to take the title home after a long time.
While Palmeiras, Sao Paulo, Inter and Goias gave another display of loss of steam, the two sides
pocketed the three points in very important matches.

Es tut einem als BVB-Sympathisant in der Seele weh, wenn man dieser Tage die Nachrichtenwelt
verfolgt. Als wäre es noch nicht genug, dass man das Derby mit reichlich Pech und Unvermögen vor
heimischem Publikum verloren hat, so musste Reservist Kevin Großkreutz, der Südtribünengängern
des BVB als "einer von ihnen" bekannt ist, sich auch noch im Nachspiel des Bundesligaklassikers
blamieren.

Letzte Woche musste Marcel Koller seinen Trainerstuhl in Bochum räumen, am Montag war es dann
Trainerkollege Favre, der in Berlin entlassen wurde. Nach der 1:5 Niederlage war selbst die letzte
Zuversicht bei den Hertha-Verantwortlichen erloschen, dass die Wende mit dem Schweizer noch
geschafft werden könnte.

Vergangene Woche musste Marcel Koller seinen Trainerposten beim VfL Bochum verlassen. Sein
vorübergehender Nachfolger, Frank Heinemann, hatte dann nur wenige Tage Zeit, die Mannschaft
einzustellen auf die Partie gegen Aufsteiger 1. FC Nürnberg, die am gestrigen Abend stattfand.
Aber Heinemann schien dies ganz gut gelungen zu sein.

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

Unabhängig davon, welcher Verein sich auf den letzten Plätzen der Tabelle befindet, von einer
Krise wird dort oftmals gesprochen und nicht selten wird Kritik am Trainer laut – und es geht
drunter und drüber. Vor dem 6. Spieltag hieß der Tabellenletzte noch 1. FC Köln, doch diese
gewannen gegen den nun Tabellen-Fünfzehnten VfB Stuttgart; dagegen ging Hertha BSC bei Aufsteiger
SC Freiburg mit 0:4 unter und bildet nun das Schlusslicht der Tabelle.

Anyone who watched World Cup 2002 will remember this inexcusable piece of play-acting from
Brazilian maestro Rivaldo.
Turkey defender Hakan Unsal was sent-off as a result of the incident, which makes Rivaldo's

I always struggle with the late games. 815 on a Sunday night is really no time to be playing
football. I'm still digesting dinner, I'm winding down from a busy weekend of standing in the rain

it or not, I still had to drive way the hell out to Heritage Green and get to work.

For many years now, the level of refereeing has been terrible in Brazil. Last weekend was

1) Look at the second goal of Santo Andre. Marcel is clearly offside. The linesman has been
suspended:
2) Obina was called offside in the most beautiful goal of his career.
