1. Nothing.
The teams at the top of the table couldn’t win their games. The teams at the bottom of the table didn’t lose their games. As such no team gained a lot of ground, nor did any team lose a lot of ground. And when the six best teams in the league don’t do their [...]

Here’s Hertha’s coach Lucien Favre practising his Jedi skills. Grown confident in his abilities, he then tried to apply his powers on his players. With little success, as Cottbus beat Hertha 2-1.
Classic Snapshot: Otto Rehagel and Rudi Völler
By: Jan | No Comments
Here are Werder Bremen’s Otto Rehagel and Rudi Völler during a match against Nuremberg back in 1983. Rudi Völler was the man in the shadows and Shazback got it right with the very first comment. It was probably a bit misleading, given that Rudi Völler ended his playing career years ago, but calling the post [...]

1. Hamburg are missing out.
Just look at that photo. Though, Croatia didn’t really impress in their friendly against Scotland (1-1) and neither Dortmund’s Mladen Petric nor Bremen’s Ivan Klasnic could put their names on the score sheet. I’m still a bit sad, that Bilic won’t be coaching a Bundesliga side next season. Though, news just [...]

I spent my weekend telling lies to my relatives, which depending on their age were about bunnies and candy, and depending on their favourite team, were about how Hamburg or Bremen still have a chance of winning the title. It was an entertaining diversion from the world of hard facts and truth here at the [...]
Separated at Birth: Marcell Jansen and a Shapeshifter from Star Trek
By: Jan | No Comments
Marcell Jansen’s homepage is also pretty high tech/sci-fi, so there is another connection. Maybe someone can also come up with a joke about him being in good/bad shape or something.
Snapshot: Golski

Lukas Podolski and Mario Gomez during Germany’s 4-0 victory over Switzerland. Too bad there’s only room for one of the two alongside Klose. Though, Podolski might have a chance to replace Schweinsteiger in Germany’s midfield. Podolski’s pass to Gomez, before he made it 3-0, was better than anything Schweinsteiger did all game long.
Beardwatch: Christoph Metzelder
