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 […]

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.

I will say, that after giving […]

Energie Cot­tbus Rank: 16th Pre­sea­son Pre­dic­tion: 18th What was I think­ing? Have you ever had a gut feel­ing that some­thing was absolutely going to hap­pen? In this case for me it was Cot­tbus being rel­e­gated. It’s no cer­tainty, but that was my feel­ing before the sea­son started and it remains unchanged. As you may know, […]

Edin Dzeko Against Cot­tbus 1. Bayer Lev­erkusen The sub­ti­tle to their sea­son should be “how we got to the top with a crap defense”. They con­ceded goals by a mis­di­rect from the wall on a free kick, allow­ing Tim Sebas­t­ian to waltz freely on another and let­ting 5’9 Iashvilli out­jump a defender. If it weren’t […]
