Matt Damon stars in The Ballack Identity
By: Jan |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.

Uncanny Resemblance: Jogi Löw and Tom Cruise
By: Jan |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 German National Team sets off on an Alpine Adventure
By: Jan |
They take on the Matterhorn and they do it in silent movie fashion. The intertitles read “A difficult path lies ahead of you” and “But you won’t take it alone”. Also, props to Jens Lehmann who can save more than just penalties.
A big global brand reveals itself at the end and I would kindly like […]
5 Things we learned during the International Break
By: Jan |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 […]
Snapshot: Golski
By: Jan |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
By: Jan |What is it about injuries and beards? Following Kevin Kuranyi’s example, Metzelder used his injury-enforced time out to grow a proper beard and probably write a manifesto on the future of football.
