Borussia Mönchengladbach

I tend to get too excited about the young kids, when they move. I will often over-value the trans­fers of the the Zuculini, Sven Ben­der and Lewis Holtby’s of the foot­balling world. I will see Ralf Fahrmann’s move to Ein­tra­cht as the bar­gain of the cen­tury. But youth takes time to develop, so this year […]

Derek Rae of ESPN was kind enough to speak to me at length about Ger­many and Ger­man foot­ball. If you have access to ESPN/ESPN Inter­na­tional, you may be accus­tomed to Rae’s com­men­tary for the Cham­pi­ons League, La Liga or even Ere­di­visie; there­fore, you might find that an inter­view of a foot­ball announcer who doesn’t announce […]

RheinEn­ergi­eS­ta­dion I used the stats fea­ture at ESPN Soc­cer­net to cal­clu­ate the clubs with the best atten­dances. Out of the top 20 atten­dances in Europe, Ger­many had 9 clubs. This post is to equip you with a tool to help pro­mote our great league. Because, while we are in a slump in the Cham­pi­ons League […]

Have goals ever been so impor­tant? With two games remain­ing, points are only mar­gin­ally more impor­tant than goal dif­fer­ence in the hunt for sur­vival, Europe and even the Meis­ter­schaft. Wolfs­burg silenced the crit­ics and showed their pro­fes­sion­al­ism by keep­ing their out­stand­ing home-form (remem­ber the only points dropped at the VW were back in August) by […]

In a week where I have won­dered about the poten­tial of defen­sive creep within the Bun­desliga, a dire 1–0 match took place between Borus­sia Monchenglad­bach and Bochum at Borus­sia Park tonight. In the first half, Glad­bach came out fir­ing on all cylin­ders and spent the first 20 min­utes play­ing Bochum off the pitch. Their offensive […]

Bild is report­ing that Marko Marin will leave cellar-dwelling Borus­sia Mochenglad­bach at the end of the sea­son. This comes as lit­tle sur­prise, as most of us assumed that unless Glad­bach escaped rel­e­ga­tion, the won­derkid would move to greener pas­tures, espe­cially with his Ger­man National team future to con­sider. But as he is believed to be […]
