Champions League

Ever since Bay­ern picked them­selves up from their slouch at the begin­ning of the sea­son, they’ve seemed unstop­pable. With a con­sis­tent back-line (which includes some young­sters), a dom­i­nant mid­field with Schwe­in­steiger and Van Bom­mel, and a deadly front-line with Ribery, Robben, and many dan­ger­ous strik­ers like Olic, Klose, and Muller. But this fan­tas­tic team was […]

Is this the year where the Bun­desliga gains a fourth spot? It could well be. Below is a table of the cur­rent UEFA Coef­fi­cient com­pared to how it stands if the sea­son were to end today. At the end of the sea­son, 2004–2005 will be removed from the books. In that sea­son, Italy had 2.5 […]

Con­grat­u­la­tions Wolfs­burg, Cham­pi­ons of the Bun­desliga! Wolfsburg’s mag­i­cal tri­an­gle all scored as the Wolves beat a deflated Werder Bre­men 5–1 at home. Their home form was para­mount in their unlikely title run as they took an incred­i­ble 49 points out of 51 dur­ing the cam­paign. It was incred­i­bly impor­tant, as they didn’t start win­ning on […]

The 4–2–3–1 has been selected by Klins­mann. The big news is that Alt­in­top will be start­ing after a lengthy absence. A cou­ple of notes on this. Mark Van Bom­mel is a dis­grace and should be banned from foot­ball. I have never seen a player more scared than Chris­t­ian Lell. Franck Ribery has been schooled by Dani […]

In the Champion’s League, Bay­ern Munich drew Barcelona in the most intrigu­ing clash of the quar­ter finals.

The win­ner will sub­jected to watch­ing the footage of another dire Liverpool/Chelsea clash and if they don’t commit […]
