A must read interview with Hoffenheim’s sugar daddy Dietmar Hopp. (Spiegel Online)
The swimsuit edition of the Hoffenheim story. And a small correction: the article quotes Ralf Rangnick as saying Hoffenheim has the same budget as Energie Cottbus. He was comparing Hoffenheim’s wage budget (€23m) with Cottbus’ overall budget (€23m). Cottbus’ wage budget is €13m. (Sports [...]

A valid question asked in a comment on the Soccer By Ives blog, after Michael Bradley’s move from SC Heerenveen to Borussia Mönchengladbach had been confirmed.

By: Jan | 4 Comments
I guess Alexander Baumjohann’s impressive solo-run starting within his own half of the field would be even more impressive, if he had scored it against the defense of one of the seventeen Bundesliga sides not coached by Thomas Schaaf.
Baumjohann is 21 years old and joined Borussia Mönchengladbach back in 2006 from Schalke. He had [...]
