The Colour Pink
By: Jan |Football in Germany has long been savoured as one of the last male refuges. As such anything pink has so far been exclusively reserved for Tim Wiese and his skin tight goalkeeper jerseys.

5 Things we learned from Matchday 29
By: Jan |1. The truth behind Mirko Slomka’s dismissal.
Mirko Slomka got fired on Sunday. The same Sunday Kevin Kuranyi put on his serious face and told reporters that Schalke had lost a very good coach, who every player loves to work with. Then he put on his sad face. Then he said OK. Then he drove away […]

By: Jan |1. A lesson in the fine art of self destruction by Schalke 04.

10 Things we learned from Matchday 21
By: Jan |1. Sotirios Kyrgiakos is the Bundesliga’s Marco Matterazzi.
It wasn’t a World Cup final, it has yet to prove to be title deciding, but it at least shares some similarities with the infamous incident. Diego is - statistically approved - the most fouled player in the Bundesliga. A little fact that coincides with him being the […]
