Establishing something comparable to England's Big Four remains a distant dream for last
season's top four in the Bundesliga. Wolfsburg are 7th after disappointingly drawing with Bochum.
Munich are 8th after disappointingly drawing with Cologne. Stuttgart are 13th after disappointingly
losing to Bremen.

Felipe Melo definitely won't be coming to Arsenal this summer, but his fellow Brazilian Naldo
certainly could be. Werder Bremen's central defender has been tipped to join the Gunners' by coach
Thomas Schaaf who's quoted a potential transfer fee at just under £8million. "Naldo is a great
athlete and could do well at the right [.

German international attacking midfielder Marko Marin is finally heading to Werder Bremen after
striking an agreement to meet Borussia Monchengladback's 10million euro asking price, an initial
figure that has caused the transfer to develop into a hard-fought saga.
The Bosnian-born 20-year-old, praised by Bremen coach Thomas Schaaf as "One of the biggest talents
in German football,"could have walked away on a free transfer in twelve months but Monchengladback
were relentless in ensuring they received an adequate fee for their highly-rated creative
midfielder.

For us fans of German football it was a sad night, but for us football fans, it wasn't. The
Ukraine won their first European title with a team that earned it's victory. And they were an
attractive team to watch with Srna, Luiz Adriano, the Rat and Ilsinho making the core of a very
entertaining side.

Todos nos frotamos las manos con la emocionante y atractiva que, en un principio, nos van a ofrecer

conocemos ahora, ya que a partir de la siguiente temporada, cambiará radicalmente.

German Cup.

While yesterday's antics by Chelsea and the drama in dying minutes get all the coverage, today's
semi-final matchup between Werder Bremen and Hamburg provided significantly more bang for the buck,
and a real game to boot. And while there were a few questionable calls, the only German to cover
himself in shame, this week, was Mannschaft captain Michael Ballack.

Don't trust the numbers you read between Milan and Werder Bremen in the title: the scoreline may
say 2-2 but this was match with only one team on the grass. And it certainly wasn't the Rossoneri.
For not only did Werder fight back from an (undeserved) 0-2 half-time deficit: the German side had

Werder Bremen's coach Thomas Schaaf gives a press conference ahead of Bremen's away match against
Hanover (1-1). Note how Schaaf almost becomes one with the wall behind him. Werder Bremen would
like to inform potential clients, that they can offer additional advertising space on their
spokesman, who is still completely unbranded.

The love-story between Mourinho and Inter has hit its first hurdle. Losing the Milan derby was
already a big no-no moment this week-end, but Wednesday's home draw to Werder Bremen really did not
sit well with some Nerazzurri supporters, who did not hide their discontent in the San Siro stands.
And with good reason.

When Tim Borowski went to bed last Friday, he may have dreamed about scoring two goals for Bayern
against his old team Werder Bremen the following day. If so, his dream did indeed come true as he
scored a second half brace at the Allianz Arena. As long as we finish the story there, we can all
rest assured that occasionally people's dreams do become reality and learn the true meaning of the
Oktoberfest.

Werder Bremen struggled to a 2-1 victory over third-division side Erzgebirge Aue Tuesday in the
German Cup while Cologne and Eintracht Frankfurt lost to teams from lower leagues.
With the memory of Saturday's stunning 5-2 win at champions Bayern Munich still fresh in their
minds, Bremen went into their second- round clash full of confidence but found themselves a goal
down after just seven minutes when Fabian Mueller put the home side ahead with a shot from outside
the area.

I'm sure many English-speaking commentators were hoping that Werder Bremen did the expected and put
Champions League debutantes Anorthosis Famagusta in their place with a resounding victory at the
Weserstadion last night. Not because they had anything against the Cypriot champions but because if
Bremen had thrashed the minnows as everyone thought they would, the result and the match in general
would soon be forgotten and they could go back to talking about teams with easier names to
pronounce.

I guess Alexander Baumjohann's impressive solo-run starting within his own half of the field would
be even more impressive, if he had scored it against the defense of one of the seventeen Bundesliga
sides not coached by Thomas Schaaf. Baumjohann is 21 years old and joined Borussia
Mönchengladbach back in 2006 from Schalke.

Of all the tedious long running English gags about Germany, surely the second most tedious is the
Hoff (we don't mention the first). There's something about the power ballad crooning, robot car
