Early interest by Real Madrid was followed by Juventus was followed by Liverpool was followed by Barcelona. It won’t take long before Diego is linked to yet another […]

They stayed in Berlin until the very last minute, due to popular demand by Dieter and Lulu, but eventually had to follow the law laid down by Judge Sepp. Lulu will take some comfort from their promise to come back in the summer.

By: Jan | 3 Comments
The winter transfer window has just been closed, the second half of the season is about to kick off in a few hours and I had all the winter break to do a post like this one. But it wasn’t until yesterday, that I came across a page on the Gazetta dello Sport website, which […]

Here’s Ivan Klasnic on the beach of Belek in Turkey, where Werder Bremen prepare for the second half of the season.
Whether Klasnic really loves Werder Bremen is up for debate though. His doctor recently got in a row with Bremen’s medical staff, who he accuses of misdiagnosing Ivan Klasnic’s condition. Something that didn’t go too […]

Welcome back to the Bundesliga Offside. As you undoubtedly noticed I took a hiatus from blogging over the holidays and new year. I didn’t even care to announce my departure. Partly because I expected myself to return to blogging right after Christmas, and I surprised myself a bit with not doing so. Rest assured though, […]

Can you guess correctly?

By: Jan | 1 Comment
I guess six to eight years from now will mark the beginning of a new golden age for the beautiful game.
That’s around the time when a large wave of young Maradona successors will eventually make the step from the youth academies of Europe’s G14 clubs to the big stage. At least that’s what every […]
Eintracht Frankfurt: Call that bad Luck
By: Jan | No Comments
Something I learned this summer is that pre-season training camps and friendlies are just as dangerous for a player’s health as the competitive football these activities are preparing for.
