Bayern Continue With The Touching Trend. Kinda.
By chris | May 15th, 2008It's been a touching week with the news that Oliver Kapo handed a boot boy the keys to a Mercedes because he didn't have a pair of shoes for him to take home, and Olof Mellberg having 3200 Aston Villa shirts custom made for the travelling fans to his ...
Bayern May Be Getting More Italian
By chris | May 13th, 2008Big changes were afoot in Germany last summer after their dismal and downright unacceptable campaign last year, at least by Bayern's "record champion" standards. Well big changes came, and with them a nice big trophy for being the best team in the Bu ...
Title Watch: Pray for Victory

UEFA Cup Final: It's Zenit vs. Rangers
By Laurie | May 1st, 2008The thing I love most about the UEFA cup is its diversity. Because there are so many routes to qualification, you never know who's going to end up on top. Unlike Champions League. (No all-EPL final here. And hurray for that!) Who would hav ...
Looking to spend
By Steven | May 1st, 2008Thanks to their qualification for the UEFA Cup, Dortmund will be bringing in extra money through sponsorships. According to this Westline article, the club will spend "eight figures" in the transfer market ahead of next season. If you're good at math ...
Lucio Does a Riise, Ribery Nearly Does a Ronaldo
By Daryl | April 24th, 2008[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67zVlMI0Z4U[/youtube] Seems own goal fever is taking Europe by storm (a bit like the measles in that respect.) Just 48 hours after John Arne Riise's "what's he doing? why doesn't he just use his right foot?" ...
Insanity: Liveblogging and Tracking Two UEFA Cup Matches at Once. Only at The Offside
By Laurie | April 24th, 2008UEFA Cup. The Champions League's neglected little sibling. So neglected that our preview post is going up at halftime. Oops. Sorry. Try to forgive us. Today we have both games of the semifinals, going on simultaneously. Bayern Munich ...

By Ian Rose | April 22nd, 2008It's the most wonderful time of the year ... perhaps not, but it's pretty damned close. European football seasons, both domestic and continental, are coming to a close, and not far off over that horizon is the joy of Euro 2008. We focus on the big ...

Valencia Songs and EuroGeta
By Cesar | April 11th, 2008First off, big ups to our Copa Del Rey opponents Getafe on their spectacular run in the UEFA Cup ... What a way to go out last night. Football can be very cruel at times and last night proved that. Two goals in three minutes knocks Getafe out ...
All Hail El Geta
By Isaiah | April 11th, 2008Before I do a preview of the Recreativo Huelva match, I think we should all give it up for what Getafe nearly pulled off yesterday in the UEFA Cup against Bayern Munich. After soon-to-be-Madridista Ruben de la Red was sent off in the 5th minute with ...
Luca Toni Defines Late Game Heroics
By chris | April 10th, 2008Getafe 3 - Bayern 3 What an amazing finish to an amazing game. Getafe deserves a standing ovation - aside from Robert Abbondanzieri - for a sensational performance down a man for 115 of 120 minutes. However, all their extra time heroics were cance ...

Into the final, into the UEFA Cup
By Steven | March 20th, 2008Thank you, Bayern Munich. Thanks to the over-spenders in Munich's win over Wolfsburg last night, Borussia Dortmund is virtually guaranteed a spot in next year's UEFA Cup. Should we fail to win the Cup in Berlin, we'll be given a spot anyway since Bayer

Round of 16 First Leg Wrap-up
By Ian Rose | March 7th, 2008Anderlecht 0-5 Bayern Munich Wow. This always looked like a lopsided tie, but I didn't expect this. With ten goals in their last two European matches, and five different scorers in today's match, Munich is starting to look like the favorite everyone wa
The UEFA Cup "league table"
By Ian Rose | February 23rd, 2008I got to thinking last night about different ways to talk about the 16 remaining teams in the UEFA Cup. Which side really is the favorite? What has their form been like? I decided it might be interesting to look at the last 16 UEFA Cup teams as a leagu
Aberdeen 2-2 Bayern Munich
By Ian Rose | February 14th, 2008I have to admit it - I had lost faith in Aberdeen's UEFA Cup run. As much as I like the Dons (my second favorite team in Scotland), it seemed like their drawing everyone's favorite to win the tournament, Bayern Munich, would certainly be the end of the g
A Much Better Weekend
By Abby | December 18th, 2007Note to self: remember to name the correct historical region of Germany in each match preview. The mighty Bayern Munich came to visit, and left with only a point. A fine result, I'd say, and very encouraging going into the winter break. Bayern may be h
Bavaria Approaches. For Real This Time.
By Abby | December 15th, 2007Okay, so talking about Bavaria last time didn't much help. Clearly, the Franconians were upset that I'd called them Bavarian, and showed it by taking it out on Hertha. This time, though, the opponents are actually Bavarian. It's in their name. Also, they

Bayern draws against Braga
By Angela | November 30th, 2007I didn't get to see this whole match. I had to stream it because it wasn't shown in the US, but from what I seen of the first half, it seems that Bayern is probably lucky that they were able to hold Braga to a draw. It seemed that Braga was a lot more a
