When Hoffenheim signed Heurelho Gomes on loan at the end of the January transfer window, fans of the Brazilian might have expected yet another long spell on the subs bench. The Germans were going through a poor season in the Bundesliga but had an established goalie in full international Tim Wiese.

Yesterday I kicked off the Euro 2012 theme on the blog and started with the favourites, Spain.
Moving on, today we'll have the joint favourites, Germany (in the eyes of the bookmakers, at
least).
Germany
In terms of the top 6 teams earmarked with the best chance to win the tournament, Germany has
the lowest average age in their squad.
The Bundesliga was on its' worst behavior ever. According to the referees, who
dished out a league record 5 straight red cards. Tim Wiese kicked off proceedings with a foul
outside the box, following one of his kamikaze excursions. He equalled Oliver Kahn's 3 career total
red cards in the Bundesliga and is only two away from Jens Lehmann's five red cards.
Some football teams like to watch their players panting while dressed in stringy vest things.Â
Some wear gas masks and frightening hair while running about in a field. Some even choose to play
football matches. But as far as we are aware, Werder Bremen are the first to incorporate Shetland
pony racing into their pre-season training sked.
In which preening Werder Bremen 'keeper Tim Wiese stops Bayern Munich's Thomas Muller dead in
his tracks with a sublimely executed 'spinning roundhouse takedown'...
You've just been Wiese'd my friend!
After just about shaking off his concussion, poor old Muller was then throttled (quite
literally!
Presently, you could argue that the German National Team has the most
overworked players (apart from the Dutch, Spanish and England) at the
Euro 2012 tournament. The likes of Thomas Mueller, Bastian Schweinsteiger and
MarioGomez were barely given a week to recover themselves before
turning up at their training camp in Tourrettes, France, while Arjen Robben played
a friendly for The Netherlands a mere three days after Bayern's Champions League final
loss!
It turns out Arjen Robben and Bayern Munich won't be parting ways anytime soon.
After months of rumors surrounding the Dutch winger's future, Robben has signed a new deal that
will keep him with the German giants through 2015. The 28-year-old has scored 16 goals in all
competitions for Bayern this season while helping the club secure a place in the Champions League
final in Munich on May 19.
There's been a lot pf hubbub in Bremen this summer over tattoos, whether they're being banned or
Marko Aranutovic wants them on the giant implants of his future wife. Seems it won't die down.
Tim Wiese has revealed a brand new tattoo on his left arm: a naked woman. His wife.
O Werder Bremen decidiu proibir que os seus jogadores façam tatuagens com o objectivo de evitar o
desenvolvimento de infecções, como já aconteceu no passado com alguns atletas como foi o caso de
Elia, holandês do Hamburgo. «É um risco que não podemos correr», salientou o antigo jogador e
actual diretor desportivo do clube alemão, Klaus Allofs.
Die Bundesligisten verstärken sich weiter mit neuen Spielern für die kommende Saison, so unter
anderem der VfL Wolfsburg. Der dortige Trainer Felix Magath stellte am gestrigen Montag mit Hasan
Salihamidzic einen weiteren Neuzugang vor. Der 34-Jährige, der bereits beim Hamburger SV und beim
FC Bayern München unter Felix Magath spielte, erhält einen Vertrag bis zum nächsten Sommer und
kommt ablösefrei von Juventus Turin.
Featuring Germany World Cup 2010 players Per Mertesacker, Marko Marin and Tim Wiese, Werder Bremen
is currently one of the German Bundesliga's most popular teams. However, the four-time league
champions from Bremen in Northwest Germany finished the 2010/11 season in a disappointing 13th
position. With the new Bundesliga season in sight, Werder Bremen has officially launched [.
Was schon lange vermutet wird, ist nun beinahe perfekt: Nationaltorhüter Manuel Neuer wird sich
aller Voraussicht nach ab dem 1. Juli dem FC Bayern München anschließen. Bis vor Kurzem waren die
Vorstellungen von Neuers jetzigem Verein, dem FC Schalke 04, sowie den Münchner Verantwortlichen
noch weit auseinander (Schalke forderte rund 25 Millionen Euro) – ein Treffen zwischen Vertretern
beider Vereine brachte jetzt allerdings die Einigung.
It began with coaches, it continues with goalkeepers. The Bundesliga is in quite a reshuffling
mood at the moment.
Manuel Neuer to Bayern. This isn't really a rumor anymore, but rather a
foregone conclusion, now that Neuer announced his Schalke exit during a teary eyed press
conference.
El guardameta internacional alemán Manuel Neuer dejará el Schalke 04, según confirmaron
hoy fuentes del club de Gelsenkirchen, presumiblemente en dirección al Bayern de Múnich.
Tras dÃas de especulaciones, el Schalke confirmó que el guardameta titular de la selección no
prorrogará su contrato, que expira en junio de 2012.
MUNICH, Germany — Bayern Munich had to come from behind on Saturday to win 3-1 at Werder Bremen,
while Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund kept up their domination with a 3-0 win at Wolfsburg.
Bremen's Per Mertesacker went from joy to despair as his opening goal just after the break was
cancelled out by an Arjen [.
The Bundesliga's other two Champions League representatives took to the field tonight after
Bayern Munich's 3–2 win over Cluj yesterday. Schalke hosted Israeli champions Hapoel Tel Aviv,
and Werder Bremen travelled to Holland to take on Twente.
Schalke 04 3 — 1 Hapoel Tel-Aviv
Felix Magath's side have had an awful start to the Bundesliga season, and have managed just five
points from their first eight domestic matches.
Simon Rolfes Leads His Side To A 2–3 Comeback Win Against Wolfsburg.
Great drama in Saturday's Bundesliga games, and goals to go with it. Mainz's winning-streak
ended at the hands of Hamburg, St. Pauli showed they can score goals, Bayern Munich's second string
proved themselves, Werder Bremen picked up the pieces, and Bayer Leverkusen confirmed themselves as
a genuine title threat.
A war of words between Tim Wiese and Aaron Hunt has become public knowledge after the two
submitted statements to the press following questions about the team's early season woes. The last
thing Thomas Schaaf needs now, after everything Werder Bremen have already been through this
season, is a big rift in the dressing room.
The German national team spent Tuesday afternoon watching 'The Amazing
Spiderman' in 3D at a special screening in the team hotel in Gdansk. Tim Wiese,
Sami Khedira, Mesut Ozil, Andre Schuerrle, Marco Reus, Ilkay Guendogan
and team manager Oliver Bierhoff were the only enthusiastic ones in the room with
their geeky 3-D glasses on and sadly, the Bayern Munich gang of
Schweinsteiger, Lahm and Gomez were nowhere to be seen at the event.
It's Offbeat Wednesday, where we bring you the best stories from the lighter side of football! This
week, read about the Spanish 'WAGS' at Euro 2012, the German team basking in the Polish sunshine,
Lionel Messi's summer Mexican holiday and Frank Lampard simply having a blast!
Sara Carbonero hasn't been the only Spanish 'WAG' spotted on duty in Poland over the
course of the last few weeks.
When the draw for Euro 2012 was conducted, there was no denying which group was the dreaded
Group of Death: Group B. With star-studded contenders Germany, Netherlands and Portugal and a very
capable Denmark side vying for two places in the knockout round, every Group B match will have a
must-see component to it.
Tricky Winger Kevin Grosskreutz Will Be Given A Chance To Impress By Joachim Loew.
Joachim Loew announced his squad today for the upcoming Euro 2012 qualifying matches against
Turkey and Kazakhstan. A call-up for in-form Borussia Dortmund winger Kevin Grosskreutz will please
Bundesliga fans who have been watching the young star of late, but omissions include Mats Hummels,
Andre Scheurrle and Lewis Holtby, who have all been in top form domestically.
Ich hab' vor dem Spiel ein bisschen was gesagt und dann lese ich heute Morgen vor dem Spiel,
dass sie mir das Maul stopfen wollen. Aber wir sind doch hier nicht aus Zuckerguss. Wir haben
absolut verdient gewonnen und wenn man mir das Maul stopfen will, dann muss man ein bisschen
früher aufstehen
Tim Wiese, Torwart des SV Werder Bremen, nach dem Derby gegen den Hamburger SV im Interview mit
Goal.
Wie wir heute aufgetreten sind, das ist peinlich. Ich schäme mich für uns. Jeder andere sollte
sich auch schämen. Es fehlt an allen Ecken und Kanten. Es ist immer das gleiche Lied. Es fehlt an
der Einstellung.
Tim Wiese, Torwart des SV Werder Bremen, nach der 0:6-Niederlage beim VfB Stuttgart.

There is a law in Germany which states Jens must cause drama with each and every goalkeeper who
happens to own a German and/or Polish passport. Just the way it is.
