Lokomotive Leipzig (aka VFB Leipzig)
Chemie Leipzig (aka Sachsen Leipzig)

Both went bankrupt and were dissolved, both have inofficial successors

Women Bundesliga team: 250,000 Euro budget, can go up to 2,000,000 Euro, mainly for salaries. Ladies work part-time only, maybe no job at all. Daily training sessions. Two training camps per season. Average Joe's seventh level men team: 50,000 Euro budget, mainly to cover expenses for the men's tea...

It's a really weird anomaly that Leverkusen looks likely to end up higher in this table than in any of the competitions they actually played in... I mean, them beating Bayern means they'll almost certainly end up ahead of Atlético and Juventus. Bayern or Real might still catch them, but it'll take a...

Meanwhile, Kroos was elected German player of the year with 40.6% of the votes, beating Klose (38.7%) and Neuer (6.6%). Glad the man is getting some recognition. Not quite. Neuer is German Player of the Year. Kroos was voted national team player of the year in a fan-vote on the German FA website (I...

Is it on purpose, concerning the free travelling of workers in the EU, and the football-teams, that a very important fact is never considered???? There is big difference of engaging a player, and having the right to let him play a competition !!!!!! FIFA and UEFa probably cannot avoid that a club e...

Again, there is no "ban", there are 2 registration periods. There isn't any "limitation" about the contracts, a team could sign any player and any time, they cannot even forbid him to play. They can simply declare a forfeit score if he does. A similar situation is about suspende...

What I wanted to say, but obviously didn't get to the point: The court will not terminate the contract. But it will lift the ban. Resulting in damage payments for being in breach of the first contract, but not preventing the player from actually moving on. And I doubt this. Well, I have no idea abo...

You are not thinking it to the end. Imagine that a factory worker simply leaves. Regardless of what his contract says. No court, neither in France nor Germany, will protect his employer by ruling that the factory worker is not allowed to work elsewhere until the contract has expired. All there is, ...

Yes I would be happy to see Neuer winning it but seriously if Ronaldo won it this year, this certainly would NOT be shocking. He is the best player of the best (club) team of the world who as won everything this year. So ... He certainly has much better arguments in his favour than Messi did in 2010.

Now they want to replace this by a system where own performance won’t matter anymore (if they collected 100 or 0 points in the previous 5 seasons will be irrelevant) and only care about “neighbours” performance. Just a note: I'd expect that domestic champions would be quite a bit put out that winni...

It's certainly not any weirder than the three teams on top of the Bundesliga table being Paderborn, Mainz and Hoffenheim, which we had on md 4. With Schalke, Hamburg and Stuttgart at the bottom, I'd certainly argue that the md 4 Bundesliga table was quite a bit weirder than Lyonnais' early season Eu...

Fun fact: After NFL (American football, of course), the Bundesliga is the sports league with the highest attendance in the world. Wrong, actually. The Premier League has a higher attendance, as well as the NBA, MLB, NFL, NPB (Japanese Baseball League). Fun Fact: The Major League Baseball is signifi...
