Champions League
Tuesday: Abomination
By: Luke |I don’t think the match requires a whole lot of analysis. Those of you who’d like to engage in that sort of thing are welcome to do some in the comments, but I’m going to refrain from it here. I’ve been more hesitant than most to indict this squad for its uninspired play, [...]
Bayern vs Bordeaux-A very quick preview
By: Luke |Sorry to say, that I simply don’t have the time to properly preview this critical Champions League match. We’ll have to dispense with the liveblog for this one as well, although I will be watching. We’ll hope to have a recap posting up not long after the match.
With both Müller and Van [...]
Visine, stat!
By: Luke |Let’s get the red out of our eyes and back into our kits where it belongs. Here’s 9 thoughts on a match ending with 9 men:
1) Jörg Butt had the night of his life, and he probably won’t ever get to really enjoy it because of the result. For American football fans, it [...]

Robben now out of Freiburg match; Demichelis to catch up on sleep
By: Luke |Completely invalidating an entire section of yesterday’s entry, Arjen Robben apparently forgot to rub magic spray or Paulaner or whatever miracle salve he was using on his surgically repaired knee and did not make the trip to Freiburg with the team. If nothing else works, he will start bathing in a nice 1985 vintage [...]
Preview: FC Bayern Munich vs. 1. FC Nürnberg
By: Luke |The Bayern-Derby will kick off at 9:30 a.m. EST on Saturday. Those who are really in the spirit can begin drinking at about 6 a.m. EST when Munich Oberbürgermeister Christian Ude (sadly, an 1860 board member) taps the first keg to open Oktoberfest!

Maccabi Haifa 0:3 FC Bayern Munich; Highlights

Also, I want to let everyone know that my computer hell appears to be over, and we will go liveblog Saturday for the Bayern-Derby and opening day at the Wiesn, the match will probably [...]
Louis, I think this is the beginning….
By: Luke |It’s amazing that a match that was so frustrating to watch for the first half hour or so would turn out to be perhaps even more exciting than last week. Bullet goals, mad dashes, familiar and not so familiar faces on the score sheet, we have everything to be excited about.
*In the most [...]
