Borussia Dortmund were filled with the confidence of knowing that a win against Bayern Munich tonight would mean a massive dent in the champions' title hopes; Stuttgart were under pressure at home to Frankfurt after a start that leaves them bottom of the league with just three points; and Werder Bremen had the task of […]

Saturday's Bundesliga action featured the highs and the lows of Bundesliga life: from Mainz taking their winning streak to seven in a row and equalling the record for best Bundesliga start of all time, to Felix Magath's Schalke stumbling to a disappointing loss at Nurnberg. Sunday's action promises to be just as exciting. VfB Stuttgart […]

A Saturday goal-fest in the Bundesliga made for some very interesting results. Table-topping Mainz hosted Hoffenheim; Borussia Monchengladbach hosted VfL Wolfsburg; HSV hosted promoted side Kaiserslautern; Schalke travelled to Nurnberg; and Freiburg hosted Koln. Mainz 4 – 2 TSG Hoffenheim Mainz's incredible form continues with their seventh straight win of the season, which equals the […]

Friday's Bundesliga match featured high-flying Hannover 96 against St. Pauli at the AWD-Arena. Hannover's recent form has catipulted them to 3rd place in the Bundesliga table, and they would have been looking to continue their hot form with a comfortable win in front of their home support against St. Pauli. Unfortunately, the hosts were left […]

Joachim Loew announced his squad today for the upcoming Euro 2012 qualifying matches against Turkey and Kazakhstan. A call-up for in-form Borussia Dortmund winger Kevin Grosskreutz will please Bundesliga fans who have been watching the young star of late, but omissions include Mats Hummels, Andre Scheurrle and Lewis Holtby, who have all been in top […]

The Bundesliga's Europa League contestants played out some very difficult ties tonight against strong opposition, with very little to choose between the sides. Borussia Dortmund suffered a poor home loss against Sevilla, while Bayer Leverkusen held on for a point at Atletico Madrid. Leverkusen managed an away win to Odense, which was a lot harder […]

Schalke were under pressure to find three points at home against Benfica, after losing their opening Champions League match by a score of one goal to nil away to Lyon. Werder Bremen, on the other hand, came back in their opening match after being two-nil down to grab a deserved point. Travelling to Inter, though, […]

Bayern Munich have represented the Bundesliga with another good Champions League result, and this time away to Swiss champions FC Basel. The Bavarian side reached the Champions League final last season, which they lost to Inter, but little Champions League threat has come from anywhere else in the Bundesliga. Werder Bremen and Schalke have their […]

Louis van Gaal's side took on Swiss champions FC Basel at St. Jakob Park in Basel tonight, with the hopes of kickstarting their season. Bayern Munich have not been on great form domestically, and have only managed two wins in their first six Bundesliga matches. They find themselves ten points off of first place, and […]

Mainz have opened this new season in fantastic form, and have won all six of their first six Bundesliga matches. Manager Thomas Tuchel has absolutely no previous experience at the top level, and is one of the youngest managers in Europe, nevermind just Germany. Despite that, his enthusiasm has lifted Mainz to the top of […]

This week's team of the week is an impressive one. After some big weekend results, some of the league's less recognizable players have forced themselves into the limelight. In goal, I have Schalke's Manuel Neuer. If not for him, Schalke could have been 4-0 down at half-time against Gladbach. He made two excellent saves to […]

Steve McClaren's new-look Wolfsburg side hosted Freiburg at the Volkswagen Arena this Sunday, while recently promoted Kaiserslautern hosted Hannover. VfL Wolfsburg 2 – 1 SC Freiburg Wolfsburg continued their good form with another win, and this time over Freiburg. Brazilian striker Grafite opened the scoring on 25 minutes, but Freiburg pulled one back through Bundesliga […]

Yesterday's result at Anfield has seen a lot of chatter around this and other Blogs, mostly negative and mostly about Liverpool. However, two teams played yesterday and after an odd set-back (for my money you kick a ball when it's still you've taken the free-kick) Sunderland were Liverpool's equals. Steve Bruce has done an excellent […]

Steve McClaren's Wolfsburg wide, who have been in good form despite their poor start to the season, will host Freiburg tomorrow night and will be looking for another three points. Meanwhile, recently promoted Kaiserslautern host Hannover, in what could be a crucial match in terms of Bundesliga survival this season. VfL Wolfsburg – SC Freiburg […]
