They unceremoniously crashed out of the Champions League and down into the depths of the Bundesliga mid-table section already. The DFB-Pokal remained something of a lifeline for Stuttgart’s season. The quick route to Europe and even the chance for some silverware and thus salvation. The stage was set […]

I’d like to talk this week about my man-crush, Rene Adler. Why is he my man-crush, you ask? Well, while the Bundesliga is my favorite league in the world, I have no team I support. It’s a liberating feeling because I can enjoy Bayern and Bremen or Schalke and BVB equally. […]
