Zugegeben, eine ketzerische Frage. Es gibt jedoch kaum einen Stürmer in der Bundesliga, dessen Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis zumindest zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt der Saison so eklatant auseinandergeht. Außer vielleicht das von Mario Gomez. Der Unterschied ist allerdings, dass Gomez oft nur eingewechselt wurde und trotzdem schon sechs Pflichtspieltore für Poldis Ex-Club FC Bayern erzielt hat.

Ich gebe zu, dass die Überschrift nicht besonders glücklich gewählt wurde. Mir ist aber keine bessere eingefallen. Es ist schon gespenstisch was sich im hohen Norden abspielt. Kein Verein ist dieses Jahr mit einem solchen Verletzungspech gesegnet, wie der Sportverein an der Elbe. Besonders in letzter Zeit spitzte sich die Verletzungsmiserie doch arg zu.

With Paulo Guerrero and Mladen Petric sustaining long term injuries, Hamburg are facing a forward crisis of epic proportion. The weight of a team that is tied on points for the league falls on the shoulders on young Swede Marcus Berg. No matter who Labbadia might sign, bring up from the reserves or shift, Berg is still the only proven striker the Dinosaurs have.

Cup Fever gripped Germany this week as the Second Round of the DFB Pokal took place on Tuesday and Wednesday. The first round saw a few Bundesliga scalps claimed and a managerial casualty to boot. While it is unlikely that any coaches will be tugging nervously at their collars today, there are a few Bundesliga clubs who have a little more time on their hands thanks to dramatic defeats at the hands of lower division teams.

The German Bundesliga much like other European leagues returned to action with Week 5 of exciting action. Hamburg continued its unbeaten start with another offensive explosion with a 3-1 home win over Stuttgart. Mladen Petric, Eljero Elia, Zé Roberto each scored their 2nd goals of the season.

Fans of the Bundesliga have been waiting for this one a long, long time, and were they ever rewarded for their patience. Though the scoreline would indicate otherwise, it was a wide open game with a plethora of chances at either end - and quality chances at that. You'd think it's just a bit of [...] Click to continue reading...

Statt vieler Worte gibt es heute einfach nur Videos der Tore vom Wochenende, die man einfach gesehen haben muss. Viel Spaß! Der künstlerisch wertvolle Fallrückzieher von Mladen Petric: Der traumhafte Freistoß von Carlos Eduardo: Der Hammer von Huga Almeida: Click to continue reading...

Secondo alcune indiscrezioni raccolte dalla Germania, potrebbe andare in porto un clamoroso scambio di attaccanti tra l'Amburgo e il Borussia Dortmund che coinvolgerebbe Mladen Petric (27) e Mohamed Zidan (26). Zidan, che non ha mai convinto nell'Amburgo (appena 3 reti segnate lo scorso anno), vorrebbe riabbracciare il tecnico Jürgen Klopp, che nel Mainz ha fatto esprimere a livelli straordinari l'attaccante egiziano.

Greatest. Euros. Ever. A tournament that was already earning praise as one of the best ever added another classic chapter today as Turkey advanced to the semifinals with a 3-1 shootout win over Croatia following a 1-1 draw. Turkey tied the game on the last kick of extra time just moments after the Croats had taken the lead. Click to continue reading...

Turquía derrotó 3-1 en penales a Croacia en los cuartos de final de la Eurocopa, tras haber empatado milagrosamente 1-1 en tiempos extras, con lo que logró avanzar a las semifinales del torneo de Austria y Suiza.
En el tiempo reglamentario las emociones no fueron muchas, y todo terminó empatado sin goles, por lo que se tuvieron que jugar tiempos extras, donde ambas selecciones trataron de adelantarse en el marcador y sepultar las esperanzas del rival, lo que parecía haber logrado Croacia, cuando al minuto 119, Ivan Klasnic cabeceó un centro por la banda derecha y venció al arquero Rustu Recber, sellando lo que parecía el pase a semifinales de los croatas.

Well, that didn't help clear things up.
In a tournament where there was no clear front-runner, Germany was considered to be the best bet to make a deep run. Before today's games, there was no clear favorite, but there looked to be a four team group that the champion would probably come from. Click to continue reading...

I'm sorry about the complete lack of updates here, except for the odd Weekly Dose edition. I'm currently spending most of my time over at the Germany World Cup Blog. But I hope to have the odd Bundesliga related post ready to help those who don't care about the Euros through the next month. The Bundesliga [. Click to continue reading...

Traditionally, opportunities to catch Bayern are rare. However, there is a growing feeling that all is not well in the Munich camp. Last Sunday, the so-called (by me at least) champions to-be, could only muster a 0-0 draw with relegation fodder Duisburg. This week, goalkeeper Oliver Kahn was fined 25,000 yo-yos for a breach of club discipline. Click to continue reading...
