July 1st saw the formal beginnings of five coaches' tenures at the helms of Bundesliga clubs. Over the next several weeks every Thursday we'll introduce these men to you. Our series of profiles begins with Bayern München's Jürgen Klinsmann, striker par excellence and noted diving enthusiast. We detail the man, his plan, his challenges, and […]

Manchester United 3 – Liverpool 0: The scoreline was unfair, United should have won by more.  Rooney and Ronaldo combined for five fluffed chances.  Captain Stevie disappeared twice for the Reds.  First, when he decided to stop running and not defend on the Wes Brown goal.  Second, when he failed to get between the referee […]
