This just in: UEFA Cup and Champions League Draw

By: Jan | Comments 5 Comments

The UEFA Cup and Champions League draw just took place. The lone Bundesliga representative Schalke 04 picked up FC Porto as their next opponent in the Champions League. Porto and Sevilla were high on the wishlists of high profile second placed teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Roma etc. So, people seem to think those two were […]

China’s next No. 1 Hit Single: King Kahn, King Kahn (King King Kahn)

By: Jan | Comments No Comments

Or maybe not, or maybe it is already. I know as little about China’s music charts, as you might expect from a European. And now enjoy the video and song, which will have you humming along the lyrics for the rest of the day.

101 Great Christmas Gifts: A Valencia Kit for Rafael van der Vaart

By: Jan | Comments No Comments

“Wait! He already got one,” some of you may say. The white one, with which he posed this summer to force his transfer.
That’s why his team mates chose Valencia’s orange away kit for his Christmas present instead; complete with his number 23 and the name van der Verrat printed on the back. Verrat is […]

Snapshot: This Photo isn’t about Breastfeeding

Though if it was, I would tell either Klose or Ribery to let Phillip Lahm have his turn. He seems to be missing out.
Bayern Munich thrashed Aris Salonika 6-0 in the UEFA Cup tonight. They ended up winning their group and made up for their recent run of 0-0 draws. Luca Toni scored four […]

By: Jan | Comments 3 Comments

Gary Lineker is 47 and Manuel Neuer is 21 - it’s possible. It’s just that English and great goalkeeper don’t go together. So, probably not.

Your everyday Bayern Munich Hysteria

By: Jan | Comments 5 Comments

A few months ago, Uli Hoeneß happily announced his summer blockbuster transfers. Life hasn’t been the same at Bayern Munich since. The club sold a record number of jerseys and other merchandise, the Allianz Arena is bursting at the seams and teenage girls are lining up outside of the Säbener Straße screaming “Ribery! Ribery!”.

Matchday 17: Bayern win first (imaginary) Title of the Season

By: Jan | Comments No Comments

The first half of the season is officially over, and Bayern have claimed the so called Herbstmeisterschaft (autumn championship), which doesn’t mean anything and isn’t won in autumn either. But a lot in football is about psychology and weird statistics. One weird statistic says that 87% of the teams who won the autumn championship also […]

Bundesliga Offside Rewind: En Garde!

By: Jan | Comments No Comments

Bayern Munich did their best to keep us entertained during the week with their dressing room catfights. Basically all European clubs kept us entertained in their fight to sign Rafael van der Vaart. And there was more:

What the ….: Energie Cottbus 5-1 Hanover 96

By: Jan | Comments 3 Comments

This match has proven to me, that I’m not free of prejudices - though I’m really, really trying (honestly). I was away on Friday and when I checked the news and read the score-line this morning, my thoughts and well wishes were already with the poor Energie Cottbus fans.
This was Cottbus’ highest ever Bundesliga […]
