By: Jan | Comments No Comments

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 | Comments No Comments

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 […]

Moldavia, nowadays part Romania and part Moldova (home of our beloved FC Dacia Chişinău), apparently has a long standing Hooligan tradition. Different to the often rather unimaginative styling of their western European counterparts, the Moldavian Hooligans wear some fancy traditional headgear. They also use standardised clubs.

League Cup: VfB Stuttgart 0 - 2 Bayern Munich

By: Jan | Comments 1 Comment

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 […]

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 […]
