Yes, I blog about a team in the Bundesliga. And yes, I travel to the city of said team 7 or 8 times a year for 2-3 weeks at pop. But no, I don’t speak more than a couple words of German (Zwei grosse bier, bitte) . So when I present the news, it’s translated. Whew. Got that off my chest. [...]

But in the end, they failed to score [...]

The big match this weekend in the Bundesliga. Hamburg come in trying to regain their form, which they apparently left on the pitch in their last UEFA Cup match versus Leverkusen, while Stuttgart comes in a pretty big roll–to the tune of 4 wins in their last 5 matches at home. Vfb also come in [...]

Top of the table drops 2 points on the road in the Bavarian derby, 3rd and 4th place are both defeated, and all HSV can manage is a draw versus a team in the drop zone. Way to see the big picture and take the bull by the horns. Oh, and Schalke leapt from fifth to third with [...]
