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

Hamburgled
By Abby | November 5th, 2007Yes, it is part of the contract that everyone writing in English about the Bundesliga has to make food-related puns when Hamburger SV is concerned. It's part of the experience. Anyway, Hertha BSC Berlin travelled to the Free and Hanseatic City of Hambu
Toasters v. cemeteries
By Abby | November 2nd, 2007Hertha BSC Berlin head north to take on Hamburger SV this Saturday and hopefully recover a little pride after the cup defeat. It won't be an easy proposition. The HSV these days has more going for it than just plans for a club-sponsored cemetery; at the m
