Doktor Fussball 06 October @ 03:15 AM EST

Das wichtige WM Qualispiel gegen Russland steht vor der Tür und eines ist so sicher wie das Amen in der Kirche die unumgängliche Torhüterfrage. Alle reden sie von Adler, Enke, Wiese und Neuer.

Bayer fans got free beer

Dirty Tackle 22 September @ 07:13 PM EST


Sunday's match between Bayer Leverkusen and Werder Bremen ended in a scoreless draw, but the sell-out crowd of 30,200 the first sell out for Bayer's newly expanded BayArena still went home happy thanks to a belly full of free food and beer.

The complimentary grub and happy juice wasn't some goodwill gesture from the club, though this is the serious business of football, after all no, it was the result of the club's brand new electronic payment system crapping out just before game time.

Unsung Stars Waiting to be Snapped

Premiership Talk Blog 16 July @ 12:21 PM EST

Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Carlos Tevez, and Emmanuel Adebayor! Such is the caliber of each of these players that their involvement in this summer's transfer market has left no spotlight for the lesser-known talent. Such is the nature of the market right now that none of the European giants can be bothered with a move for the hidden gems.

Bundesliga Rumor Mill

Bundesliga Talk 03 June @ 11:00 AM EST

Christophe Daum pulled off the biggest surprise of the early silly season, by quitting Cologne to return to Turkey via Fenerbahce. I would love to hear Jan's input on this, but my take is that it could be a sucker punch for the Billy Goats as they face the sophomore curse. Daum had a somewhat iconic air at Colgne.

The Offside: Bundesliga 19 February @ 08:24 PM EST
Hoffenheim's coach Ralf Rangnick isn't nicknamed The Professor for nothing and this is his latest creation: a combined striker/goalkeeper. With his fetish for "polyvalent" players, Hertha's coach Lucien Favre must be green with envy. Anyone got an idea for a name for this beast? Click to continue reading...

1-2-3 - Current ranking of Bochum, Cottbus, and Bielefeld on the "Anti-Fair-Play Table." Here Bochum has a commanding lead thanks to their 33(!) yellows in 12 games.
