Time for Frankfurt and Berlin to be on their best Behaviour

By: Jan | Comments 2 Comments

The Bundesliga has won an additional UEFA Cup berth, following a draw including the seven fairest and wisest leagues in Europe. Now it’s up to the DFL to decide which team in the Bundesliga honoured the Fair Play ideal the most and thus earns the honour to compete in Europe despite the fact, that they […]

Matt Damon stars in The Ballack Identity

By: Jan | Comments No Comments

I realised that I still had to reveal the identity of the kid on this picture. And it was indeed Matt Damon. I might be the last to notice it, but until I scanned YouTube for a video I could use to wrap a post around it, I wasn’t aware of this striking resemblance.
 

The cast […]

Snapshot: Achtung! Surrender. For you Fritz, the UEFA Cup 2008 is over.

By: Jan | Comments 4 Comments

A welcome message to the Bayern players in German: “We don’t wait for May 9th. The surrender has to happen today.” The UEFA had the banners removed before the game kicked off. So Bayern can’t argue that they just followed orders. But the Zenit fans got what they asked for nonetheless.
File under: yawn.

Bayern’s UEFA Cup Campaign in Numbers

By: Jan | Comments 5 Comments

Bayern Munich invested roughly €80m in new players this season. The due return is yet another double, which they could have probably won without major investments, considering how the competition took turns self-destructing this year. And while Bayern’s 12 point lead in the Bundesliga is impressive, the same can’t really be said about their UEFA […]

Uncanny Resemblance: Jogi Löw and Tom Cruise

By: Jan | Comments 7 Comments

Jogi Löw attended the match between Karlsruhe and Bremen disguising as Tom Cruise. What is even more worrying than that, is the current form of most of his designated Euro 2008 players. Per Mertesacker is probably playing his worst ever season. Torsten Frings was injured again. Bernd Schneider will most probably miss the Euros due […]

The other Getafe - Bayern Munich Highlight

By: Jan | Comments 6 Comments

It takes 120 minutes and two last minute comebacks for this to happen. The third most hated player in the Bundesliga slaps the most hated player in the Bundesliga in the face to the music of REM. Once you get tired of the slap, turn your attention to Phillip Lahm’s reaction in the background.

Classic Moment: Georg ‘Katsche’ Schwarzenbeck’s late Equaliser against Atlético Madrid

By: Jan | Comments No Comments

It was the European Champions Cup (as in: Champions League) final in Brussel back in 1974. Bayern had reached the final for the first time. The match ended in a scoreless draw after 90 minutes and was forced into extra time. Then, current Spain coach Luis Aragones converted a free kick to give Madrid the […]
