UEFA Intertoto Cup Final: Hamburger SV 4 - 0 FC Dacia Chişinău (Extended Highlights)
By: Jan |I’m admittedly very slowly catching up with the football that was played last weekend. But since I covered the encounter between Chişinău and Hamburg in some detail previously, I felt like I definitely needed to deliver a conclusive post whether it’s a bit late or not. At least, I can provide roughly 17 minutes worth […]

League Cup Final: Schalke 0 - 1 Bayern Munich
By: Jan |The final was anti-climactic, boring and amassed a record number of bad passes.
This sums it up for me. Bayern Munich are excused as they were missing Schweinsteiger, Ribery and van Bommel (plus three of their four strikers, but that’s no news). They nevertheless got the result and two million Euros price money. But I had […]
Animals on the Pitch: Oliver Kahn and the Wasp
By: Jan |Bob recently posted a video compilation of animals - make that mostly dogs and birds - who spent some entertaining moments on a football pitch. Thanks to this years League Cup we can add another very small scale creature to this growing list: the wasp. The poor insect most probably didn’t survive the encounter with […]

By: Jan |Moldavia, nowadays part Romania and part Moldova (home of our beloved FC Dacia Chişinău), apparently has a long standing Hooligan tradition.

“With his class, he fits perfectly to Real Madrid,” said Schuster in an interview with German TV station ARD “I can very well imagine him playing for my team.” And he continued, “I […]
League Cup: VfB Stuttgart 0 - 2 Bayern Munich
By: Jan |Bayern Munich continue to play attractive football and they continue to play against under strength opposition.
The team Stuttgart fielded consisted of probably five starting XI regulars. Some players like the newly acquired ex-Zaragoza striker Ewerthon or Gold Cup heroes Ricardo Osorio and Pavel Pardo aren’t match fit yet, just like many others, who had to […]
League Cup: 1. FC Nürnberg 2 - 4 Schalke 04
By: Jan |It has been a good night for Schalke 04 - on and potentially off the pitch.
On the pitch they comfortably beat DFB Cup winners Nuremberg and reached the League Cup final. Nuremberg only stood a chance against them for the first 30 minutes, during which Robert Vittek even scored the lead for the Franconians (not […]
