Eintracht Frankfurt

Amer­i­can inter­na­tional Ricardo Anthony Clark has joined Ein­tra­cht on loan until the end of the sea­son. The 26 year old defen­sive mid­fielder is the first US player ever to join the team. He played for Hous­ton Dynamo in the MLS in 2009 and scored seven goals in 97 games. Clark was signed to replace the injured […]

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 […]
