10 Things we learned from Matchday 31 and 32

By: Jan | Comments 3 Comments

It was a busy week of Bundesliga football. And it was a busy week for me as well, so I focused my attention on the inevitable and the ugly. But there was more happening in the league, and it’s time to catch up with it in this double header edition.
1. Bremen and Schalke win Champions […]

10 Things we learned from Matchday 30

By: Jan | Comments No Comments

1. Only math stands in Bayern’s way now.
Bayern beat Stuttgart 4-1 on Sunday. Angela blogged about how it happened and then Anna blogged about why it happened. Now I blog about how Bayern top the table with a 12 point lead. 20 goals stand between them and Werder Bremen. 24 goals stand between them and […]

10 Things we learned from Matchday 28

1. Nuremberg can no longer finish their matches.
Last week Nuremberg’s match against Frankfurt was stopped for 20 minutes, after some people from Nuremberg’s travelling support burned firecrackers and threw a flare onto the pitch. This Friday Nuremberg’s match against Wolfsburg got abandoned after heavy rain rendered the pitch unplayable. A Bundesliga first. Nuremberg were leading […]

10 Things we learned from Matchday 19

By: Jan | Comments No Comments

1. There are entertaining 1-1 draws.
You could call them borderline exciting draws as well. The top of the table clashes between Leverkusen and Hamburg and Bayern and Bremen didn’t really help anyone in terms of results, but yet you didn’t feel you just wasted 90 minutes of your life either. With some good will - […]

die Tabelle lügen nicht! (02/07)

By: Johnny on the Spot | Comments 2 Comments

1. Bayern Munich
Late in their match victory over Hansa Rostock, Hitzfeld switched Klose for Ottl and finally reverted from the toothless 4-4-2 to the dynamic 4-5-1 (or in their case a 4-2-3-1). Is he finally seeing the light?
2. Werder Bremen
A blatant offside for the first goal. A harsh red on Naldo. Did […]

10 Things we learned from Matchday 18

By: Jan | Comments 2 Comments

1. If Bayern play bad their rivals will play worse.
Or at least drop points, while Bayern won’t. Let’s take Hamburg for this weekend’s example. They played a toothless first half, went down 0-1 and then needed an improved second half to draw the match against Hanover. Bayern played a good first half, went up 2-0 […]

Matchday 17: Bayern win first (imaginary) Title of the Season

By: Jan | Comments No Comments

The first half of the season is officially over, and Bayern have claimed the so called Herbstmeisterschaft (autumn championship), which doesn’t mean anything and isn’t won in autumn either. But a lot in football is about psychology and weird statistics. One weird statistic says that 87% of the teams who won the autumn championship also […]

Matchday 16: Sense and Sensibility

A lot has happened but fairly little has changed this weekend. And tempers were running a bit wild.

Matchday 13: Comebacks

By: Jan | Comments 2 Comments

Thirty goals spread out over nine matches made for an entertaining weekend, that nonetheless left me feeling a bit unsatisfied. Mostly because it lacked any real surprises or shake-ups in the table. Munich, Bremen and Hamburg all worked their way to victories. Hamburg’s 2-0 win over Rostock can probably be labelled ‘most confident performance’ compared […]

A Name to Remember: Toni Kroos

By: Jan | Comments 3 Comments

Toni Kroos is seventeen years old, but only his acne gives away, that he’s still a teenager. His football skills are already on a level, that earn him some playing time in Bayern Munich’s senior squad. He supposedly is Germany’s most promising and talented football wunderkind. An assessment that has been backed by FIFA’s technical […]
