    Bayern Munich – The Destructive Power of Arjen Robben

    There’s the Midas touch, and there’s the Robben touch, both blessed and cursed at the same time, although at this stage of his career, Robben often seems to be more of bad seed on a Bayern Munich side that is everything Robben isn’t in the way he plays football.

    Bayern Munich – Arjen Robben Showing Off for Next Team

    It was only fitting Arjen Robben was the one who scored a brilliant goal for Bayern Munich in their 1-0 win against Dormund, finally putting the ‘curse of Dortmund’ behind them, which had a lot to do with Robben himself, who has hardly been given the chance to shrug off the ‘loser’ label off his forehead.

    Bayern Munich – Thomas Müller Ready for the Big Double

    In a world of Barcelona’s, Bayern Munich will never be regarded as true favorites to win the Champions League, but it’s hard to argue with two finals in three seasons, while playing excellent football in both the Bundesliga and the UCL, having quite a few players having career-best seasons, with possibly no one better than Thomas Müller.

    Bayern Munich Are So Good Manuel Neuer is Getting Bored

    It’s been quite a boring season around the major European leagues, with the exception of one or two. The title race in the Bundesliga seems to have been over before the winter break, but that hasn’t stopped Bayern Munich from crushing everything in their pat, and leaving Manuel Neuer unemployed and bored.

    One 1-1 draw doesn’t say all there is to be said about what is growing to be the best rivalry in Europe. The power of the Bundesliga is on the rise, mostly because it now has two clubs to place among the continent’s elite: Bayern Munich, who’ve always been there, more or less; and Borussia […]

    Mini Revenge at the German Super Cup (Bayern Munich vs Dortmund)

    Does this mean this will be Bayern Munich’s year? Probably not, but at least the five match losing streak for Bayern against Dortmund is over. Two quick goals from Martio Mandzukic and Thomas Muller, giving Bayern the two goal lead after only 11 minutes was enough to secure their first win over Dortmund in more than two seasons, winning their fifth German Super Cup with a 2-1 win.

  • When Players Cry – Euro 2012 Losing Gallery

    Great tournaments bring with them ample opportunity for disappointment and tears, especially during the knockout stage when the losses are much more painful and tragic. The Italy – Spain final gave us plenty of tears from the Italian side, with Mario Balotelli watering away sticking in our minds the most, but he wasn’t alone in the crying game.

  • Best Photos From the 2012 Champions League Final

    It wasn’t the best of finals, but it was certainly exciting. Chelsea, somehow, with their weakest Champions League side in memory, pulled an improbably victory in Munich, after a penalty shootout. Bayern Munich were left with nothing on the night and the seasons but tears and disappointment.

  • Didier Drogba, Finally a Winner (Bayern vs Chelsea)

    Didier Drogba was always somewhat of a loser when it came to the big finals. Africa, Champions League. No more, not for him and not for Chelsea, putting the Moscow demons behind them and beating Bayern Munich in a penalty shootout after a dramatic 1-1 draw following the 120 minutes.
