Football in Germany

German football league, winter 2008/2009: It´s halftime of the season, and the German Bundesliga sees a very unknown team from a very little village on the top of the premier league: TSG Hoffenheim 1899. Where the hell is Hoffenheim? Truly a sensation! Hoffenheim seemed to give the established teams the runaround.

In the end of the season, "David" Hoffenheim failed, because goalgetter Ibisevic got hurt. But "Goliath" Bayern München did not succeed either. "Nobody" VfL Wolfsburg got the cup, and Bayern got the crisis: Coach Jürgen Klinsmann had to go, and Jupp Heynckes came for "Interims Coach".
Anyway, now you better know, where Hoffenheim is: near Heidelberg. But get a detailed map to find it. And some Hoffenheim players, like Marvin Compper or Tobias Weis, got a chance for the national football team.

1.FC Bayern München started poor in the season 2009/2010. But the new coach Louis van Gaal managed the problems, and the Bundesliga had a dogfight between Schalke 04 and Bayern München. Juicy, that Schalke Coach Felix Magath had been coach of the Bayern team some years ago.
Bayern, however, won the national soccer championship 2009/10, and made a week later the "Double" by winning the DFB cup final. Going for the "Triple" was thwarted by Inter Mailand. Mailand won the Champions League Final 2:0.

1. FC Bayern München had sent 6 players to South Africa for the National German Football Team. 4 players came from HSV, 3 players each from VfB Stuttgart, Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen. After the stressful FIFA world cup 2010 - how will they enter the Bundesliga?
But the big story before start of the season came from Schalke 04: Topstar Raul from Real Madrid now plays for Schalke.
