VfB zieht die Reißleine – nun hat man “Großes” vor

Bundesliga Blog 07 December @ 12:51 PM EDT

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.

Seip vs Sturrock

thetwounfortunates 19 October @ 02:36 PM EDT
Ever heard the one about the club who loaned their best defender, who also happened to be their 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. Click to continue reading...

Brasileiro: Flamengo and Atletico-MG Want it!

See The Cup 19 October @ 02:07 AM EDT

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.

BVB: Dank Großkreutz doppelt gedemütigt

Bundesliga Blog 30 September @ 05:21 PM EDT

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.

Chaos im Tabellenkeller

Bundesliga Blog 22 September @ 08:24 AM EDT

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.

FOOTBALL CHEATS: No 2 - Rivaldo (Brazil v Turkey - 2002)

Liverpool Kop 30 August @ 09:10 AM EDT
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 histrionics even worse.

Gameday 5 Recap - GFC v. Rai Internationals...

The Grimsby Football Club 23 June @ 09:30 PM EDT
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 coaching 13 year old girls, I'm really just about ready for bed if I'm honest. So whether I liked it or not, I still had to drive way the hell out to Heritage Green and get to work. Click to continue reading...
