3 — Likely num­ber of Ger­man top goalscor­ers over the past 10 years by season’s end.

BUT if Grafite were to win, it’d increase the num­ber of […]

This trio tops another table as well, but this one’s about “Anti-Results.” All three are cur­rently in the rel­e­ga­tion zone. Coin­ci­dence? Prob­a­bly not con­sid­er­ing Anti-Fair-Play cel­lar dwellers Leverkusen […]

The most com­mon rea­son given was the qual­ity of Jür­gen Klinsmann’s squad. What fol­lows is a hasty trans­la­tion of what each of the 18 gaffers had to say […]
