FC Bayern vs Schalke 04: The Search For a Non-Stereotypical Storyline
By: Luke |This is a terrific match for a lazy writer. So many storylines fall right into your lap. For this occasion, I could: a) Talk about how how Felix Magath’s dismissal from Bayern looks like a terrible mistake in retrospect and b) make a very negative indictment of Louis van Gaal by some statistical [...]
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, [...]
The Trial of Markus Babbel
By: Luke |Once again, Bayern Munich goes into an away match against a familiar opponent that has its back against the wall. That would be VfB Stuttgart of course, and it makes for a little more of a dramatic storyline that Stuttgart’s coach is long time Bayern defender Markus Babbel. You can follow the action [...]

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 [...]

Tor Search: On To Freiburg
By: Luke |The show must go on, even during international weeks, and so it was that FC Bayern played a friendly match against Jahn Regensburg on Tuesday. A personal aside, if any of you ever have the opportunity to visit Regensburg, do take it. It will never get listed in the “top 10 destinations” to [...]
Hamburger SV 1:0 FC Bayern Munich: Post-mortem
By: Luke |“Ich denke, unser Spiel war nicht so schlecht”
“I think our play was not so bad”

I couldn’t agree more. We didn’t play all that poorly. Because I am hepped up [...]
Hamburger SV vs. FC Bayern Munich: Preview
By: Luke |Suddenly, the injury sheet takes a front row seat. Daniel van Buyten’s appearance is still in doubt after a training ground injury Thursday.
