It has been a bleak season for VfL Bochum. The club sits 17th in the table, switched coaches instead of fortunes and only had Hertha Berlin to cheer them up. A trip to the national team can be a welcome change of scene for the players. Bochum’s central defender Anthar Yahia and their striker Zlatko [...]
What it Took to be a Bundesliga Fan in East Germany
By: Jan | 1 Comment
20 years ago the Berlin Wall fell. Depending on who you ask it was either because of David Hasselhof, an accident or a peaceful revolution of the East German people.
One football fan was particularly looking forward to this event, after cheering on the “wrong” football teams for over two decades. Helmut Klopfleisch from then-East Berlin [...]
Goals Galore: Gerd Müller’s Bundesliga and Champions Cup Goals 1973/1974
By: Jan | No Comments
With Miroslav Klose and Luca Toni locked at 0 Bundesliga goals this season, some Bayern fans will probably welcome this opportunity to escape into nostalgia for a short while.
In 1974 Gerd Müller succeeded where Michael Ballack had failed in 2002 and won the Bundesliga, Champions Cup (Champions League) and the World Cup. On his way [...]
Video: Bayern use Water Cannon against their own Fans
By: Jan | 4 Comments
Bayern Munich fans are certainly not in a particularly good mood at the moment. The situation in the Bundesliga is far from hopeless but still disappointing, while Bayern will need a miracle of sorts to progress in the Champions League. Thus, some fans may be in disbelieve, some may question the coach or the players, [...]
Video: Toni Kroos’ Volley vs Schalke
By: Jan | 2 Comments
A few years ago Toni Kroos was hailed as the next big thing in German football. He won the best player award at the 2007 U17 World Cup, joined Bayern Munich and was promised the #10 jersey. Far from claiming the shirt he instead commuted between Bayern’s bench and the reserves. Meanwhile other next big [...]

By: Jan | 1 Comment
Mark van Bommel signed a one year extension on his Bayern Munich contract last season. He had asked for two years. Bayern answered by referring to a club policy of giving players over 30 only one year extensions. At that time Martin Jol came sniffing around and rumors emerged that Hamburg might be willing to [...]
Goals Galore: 6 + 9 Vintage Borussia Mönchengladbach Goals
By: Jan | 3 Comments
Vintage, in this context, means 1970s and brilliant. Borussia Mönchengladbach were the league’s most dominant club during that decade and won a then record five Bundesliga titles. Moreover they were also the ambassadors of style, with inspirational midfield and attacking talent in players like Jupp Heynckes, Günter Netzer (Ballon d’Or runner up 1972) or Allan [...]
Jens Lehmann
By: Jan | 5 Comments
In case of any other goalkeeper we might ask the question what the hell he is doing out there. In case of Jens Lehmann we are thankful that he is indeed out there doing things; that he extended his contract for one more year last season.
VfB Stuttgart’s sense of humor ended though when Jens Lehmann’s [...]
Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
By: Jan | 2 Comments
As our Bayern blogger Luke aptly cited it. Or as Louis van Gaal said in his post match press conference: “Franck Ribery showed today that he loves this coach.” And van Gaal loves speaking of himself in the third person obviously.
Quick recap: in a matter of just about 14 days we’ve gone from this [...]
DFB-Pokal First Round: Famous 45, Heroic 90, Epic 120 and Transcendental 119:57
By: Jan | 1 Comment
There is much to like about the DFB-Pokal.
First of all, its’ format contrasts nicely with all other season long competitions. A pure knockout tournament. 90 minutes minimum. 120 minutes and penalty shootouts if necessary. No draws. No rematches. No second legs. If you are the away team, live with it. If you have a [...]
