Fridays Bundesliga Review: Bayern Thrash Freiburg

Anatoliy Tymoschuk Is Reborn At Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich produced another strong home display following their 21 win over Werder Bremen in the DFB Pokal. One of the poorest, more drab first-half displays Ive ever watched ended with a sweet Demichelis goal to put Bayern Munich 10 up from the very first corner of the game. After the break, Bayern Munich played with a little bit more attacking impetus, and despite a few tricks from Papiss Cisse at the other end, Die Roten went two to the good after Mario Gomez headed home from just the second corner of the game.

Just a few minutes later, Freiburg put themselves back into it after Stefan Reisinger headed home from close range to beat Hans-Jorg Butt at the back post. On 72 minutes, Bayern were on the counter-attack, and when Mario Gomez was closed down by two Freiburg defenders, the striker cut it back to Anatoliy Tymoschuk who smashed it into the bottom corner from just inside the 18-yard box. Toni Kroos sealed the win on 80 minutes, when he slotted one in from nearly 25 yards from out wide. Freiburg grabbed their consolation through Edson Braafheid! The Dutchmans own-goal is certainly only going to add to the growing reputation the left-back is getting for being a bit of a shambles.

Bayern Munichs big win will definitely calm any of the remaining nerves around the camp, and a high-scoring game will give some freedom to the squad on the pitch. Louis van Gaals early season slump appears to be coming to an end, which will delight Die Roten fans and pacify the Bayern Munich board. With Borussia Dortmund playing Mainz this weekend, it was imperative that Bayern Munich got all three points tonight. While the reigning champions are still a whopping twelve points away from the Bundesliga summit, if they can! keep th eir current form up and then get Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery fit and firing again, they still have every chance of winning the league title once again, despite what Franz Beckenbauer says!

Mr. Hodgson Or: How We Learned To Stop Worrying And Blame The Manager

Image
The manager has risen from club secretary to official face of the club since the creation of football teams worldwide. He has moved from the man that kept the record books to man that is larger than the football team he manages. Commentators and pundits refer to Fergusons United or Wengers beautiful, passing football. He even has books written about him. The Manager by Barney Ronay, an excellent book that discusses the rise of the manager into the modern game, unearths some of the origins of the managers image and attempts todiscuss what kind of person the manager really is. While the book wasnt ever intended to be an academic study of the merits of various tactical thoughts of managers, it does address some of the often listed character traits ofsuccessfulmanagers. When all these traits are put together, to many the manager appears to be a father figure, a scary headmaster, a politician youd like to have a beer with, or somecombination. Yet despite all this popularity, he is little mo...

England World Cup camps need to lose doomsday siege mentality

Image
One day last week, near the junction of Maude Street and Rivonia Road, in the Johannesburg suburb of Sandton, a line of smiling young men in shirts and shorts strolled along the pavement towards their hotel. Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben, Robin Van Persie, Dirk Kuyt, Mark Van Bommel and the rest of the Dutch squad waited at the lights until there was a break in the traffic and then ambled across the road. These were some of the best known players in the world, superstars of the game, walking along city streets on their way back from training and looking as though they did not have a care. There was no security with them. None to speak of, anyway. There were no photographers running in front of them and taking their picture. There were no girlfriends tottering along beside them. None of them wore headphones. They did not insulate themselves. They seemed at one with their surroundings. It was only a snapshot of the way the Dutch are living their lives at this World Cup but ...

How an American Influence Is Rubbing Off On Manchester City

Image
Manchester Citys match day experience is becoming more and more American with each new season. While Maine Road was what you could expect a typical British experience of what it was like to see an English football match in the 80s, the City of Manchester Stadium experience seems as American as apple pie. In previous seasons, City have tried to focus on improving the match-day experience. Theyve added buskers, i.e. public performers, around the ground to add to the atmosphere. And recently theyve adopted American entertainment methods such as turning down the house lights before kick-off and trying to get everyone excited for the big match. Theyve also been a pioneer in English football in their usage of American social media sites such as Facebook, Foursquare, Flickr and others to create a bond with supporters. And now for their first home match in the league for the 2010-11 season, against Liverpool tonight, theyre set to unveil two new features. Both of them have a uniquely American...
