Bayern Munich

In Match Week 19 of the 2011-2012 Bundesliga season. Everyone already knows, but just to hit all the necessary weekly notes: Bayern comes off a disheartening 3-1 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach, in which offense, midfield, defense, and (especially) goalkeeping failed to measure up to Bayern standards. Still, we sit at the top of the table, and a victory here would correct a lot of problems. The Wolves have a -10 goal differential, yet still somehow sit in 9th place after winning back-to-back 1-0 games. Climb aboard for the preview, y’all. Read the rest of this entry »

Not really in the mood for a cute/funny/wacky introduction. We know the drill – a break-down of photographic footage from the previous match, with a particular emphasis on something that FC Bayern did particularly well or particularly poorly.
Any guess as to which today’s episode will be? Read the rest of this entry »

Alright, an ugly loss for FC Bayern, but let’s keep perspective. We’re still in first place in the Bundesliga. Keep in mind we suffered an angry-making loss to this same opponent in week 1, only to then go on a winning streak where we looked amazing over the next 2 months. Hell, it might even be good to get a wake-up call.

Back on the horse in Bayern-land, as the long Bundesliga winter break is over. FC Bayern travels to Monchengladbach to take on the Foals tomorrow afternoon. The match is an 8:30 PM start local time (2:30 PM Eastern here in the USA), and will be broadcast live in North American on Gol! TV.
[Some updates made, based on reader corrections. See below.]
A quick look at the table will leave little doubt as to the importance of the clash. Bayern occupies the top spot, with 37 points at the midway mark. ‘Gladbach sits in 4th place, but only 4 points behind us – any kind of result for the Foals would put them in great position for the second half, as well as increasing their lead over Werder Bremen for that last Champions League spot. So, there’s no time to ease back into the schedule – Die Roten must be in good form from the opening whistle. Read the rest of this entry »

Just in time for the start of the season’s second half, FC Bayern is getting involved with the transfer rumor mill. And the first pick-up rumor is a recycled one: the club is said to be looking at out-of-favor Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov.
The Berba-to-Bayern story was floated this past spring (I’d link to it, but I dislike the way I was writing back then). As a player, Berbatov break down like this: Read the rest of this entry »

[Today's guest post comes from Sid - he mentioned last week that he was going to check out the Bayern - India match, and I asked him to come back with pictures and/or a report. As you'll see, he definitely delivered.
Also - it's now Thursday, 7:30 PM my time - I'm adding some pictures from the event taken by reader RW911. Some of these are REALLY impressive photos - check them out, at the bottom of the post.]
Hello People,
My apologies for the late post. Got back home from the game at 4 am (stay 300 km from Delhi), managed 3 hours of sleep before I went to work.
Just a small intro about myself. I have been a Bayern fan since the 98/99 season. That was the first time I watched Bayern play in that season’s Champions league. I took to Bayern the minute I saw them play. Kahn , Effenberg , Elber , Basler were simply GOD like to watch . Loved the way they play. Was very upset when we lost that ill-fated final to SCUM UNITED (I HATE THEM).
I started following Bayern ever since that year. The Bundesliga was not shown in India. My only source was the newspaper, Magazines i could lay my hands on and certain news channels. But i made it a point to watch Bayern’s UCL games whenever they were shown by ESPN or Star Sports. I cried the night Bayern won UCL 2001. My Hero Kahn was amazing. I followed Bayern with complete devotion even though the football scene in India was dominated by the English Premier League.
Coming to the game, I was very excited to finally watch Bayern from the stands. I couldn’t concentrate much the previous evening at work. My only thoughts were that am going to be watching “ Robbery”, Lahm, Schweni, Muller … well the whole gang. I got to the stadium 4 hours before the scheduled start. Read the rest of this entry »

In another inter-continental friendly. FC Bayern’s most recent performance was a 2-1 win over Al-Ahly in Qatar. Though the performance was not confidence-inspiring, the players say they’ll be ready for the re-start of the Budneslgia season in a week and a half, so fans are cautioned not to panic.

Evening, all. FC Bayern is nearing the end of the winter break, and boarding a plane to India tomorrow, and my numbers indicate that a lot of regular readers are still absent as well. So this is as good a time as any to clean up some of the dross, I suppose. What follows is a pretty personal post that I promised a few guys who e-mail me that I would write a while ago. Anyway, it’s 4:30 AM here and I’m pretty sloshed, so feel free to just IGNORE this post and check back in 2-3 days when I post more pics or whatever. Seriously. Unless you’re in the mood for drunken warbling, just turn around now. Read the rest of this entry »

In an inter-continental friendly match, to take place in Doha, Qatar. We usually don’t preview friendlies, but it’s an interesting event and there ain’t much else going on. FC Bayern is only two days off a 13-0 win over SC Al-Sailiya, a Qatari club, while Al-Ahly is in mid-season form, having just won 3-0 vs. El-Geish in a league match. This will kick off at 7:30 PM Qatari time, which means 5:30 PM in Germany, 4:30 PM Greenwich mean time, and … 11:30 AM Eastern here in the States. Ouch. You guys might have to fill me in on the first half. Read the rest of this entry »
