By: Jan | Comments No Comments

3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat for Bundesliga clubs in Europe this week. The good news is that five out of six have it all in their own hands to progress to the next round. The odd club out is of course Hertha B… no wait.
Bayern Munich 0-2 Bordeaux. Bayern wanted a football teacher [...]

Champions/Europa League Matchday 3: It Takes Two

By: Jan | Comments No Comments

2 Blackouts. Stuttgart continued to show signs of life in their game against Sevilla and they continued to produce stupid defensive lapses, which continually cost them the games. Two such mistakes, coupled with the referee missing an offside position helped Sevilla to a comfortable 3-1 victory.

Champions/Europa League Matchday 1 Wrap-Up

By: Jan | Comments No Comments

Three wins, two draws and one defeat makes for a balanced but not too glorious start to this year’s European season.
Wolfsburg. You are never too old for an impressive Champions League debut. Grafite (30) scored a hat-trick and became only (or already?) the sixth player to do so on his debut. Each of his goals [...]

The Money Game: Champions League vs Europa League

By: Jan | Comments 5 Comments

We’re heading into a new season of European football, which for most people really only means Champions League football. The big question ahead of every Champions League season is of course not who wins it – Stuttgart won’t, Wolfsburg won’t and most probably Bayern won’t either so why bother – but who earns how much.

CL/UEFA Cup Draw: Luca Toni’s Reunion and Trips to Romania

By: Jan | Comments 2 Comments

The qualification rounds of this year’s European competitions concluded yesterday.
The good news is, that no Bundesliga team has been knocked out yet. The bad news is, that Schalke made the overcrowded UEFA Cup even more overcrowded, by losing to Atletico Madrid (1-0 / 0-4). I give them credit that they were missing five starting [...]
