'Mr Tumnus will finish the podcast' While Barry Glendenning was making a case that Everton could potentially give Liverpool something to think about, a magical adventure was unfolding ... @maxrushden.bsky.social @barryglendenning.bsky.social @jonathanliew.bsky.social @archiert1.bsky.social

'He doesn't have the ego of most No 10s in that position where they feel they have to have the ball all the time' Florian Wirtz's performance against Atlético Madrid caught the eye of the panel. @maxrushden.bsky.social @barryglendenning.bsky.social @jonathanliew.bsky.social @archiert1.bsky.social

😱 Atlético Madrid were on the receiving end of 'Slot time' at Anfield. 😎 Bayern Munich showed their class as they dispatched Chelsea 3-1. 🌳 Nottingham Forest are out of the EFL Cup. @maxrushden.bsky.social @barryglendenning.bsky.social @jonathanliew.bsky.social @archiert1.bsky.social

Loved learning about Union Berlin and their incredible support for their women’s team. They are preparing for a debut season in the Frauen-Bundesliga having gone pro 2 years ago. They have the 4th highest average attendance in Europe. ✍🏻 👇🏻 🇩🇪 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Presenting live coverage of FC Augsburg v Bayern Munich on ESPN. Thomas Hitzlsperger with us pitchside. Coverage starting shortly. Augsburg have even done their tunnel up for the occasion

Here in Hamburg for the first Bundesliga edition of the Stadtderby since 2011 - Hamburg v St. Pauli. It just happens to be HSV’s first top flight home game in 7 years too. What FCSP would do to spoil it… Live on ESPN+ tonight with @raecomm.bsky.social alongside me.

Heading north to Hamburg in the morning for the Stadtderby, HSV-St. Pauli. My thoughts for ESPN. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Kampf gegen Sexismus im Fußball und anderswo, Teil 1 bis 100: "Wer nicht Teil des Problems sein will, sollte anfangen, sich wie Teil der Lösung zu verhalten." Gutes Statement von Corrillo Ultras. #SCFreiburg

This whole thing is so, so depressingly basic. If Farage’s clear and persistent bigotry had ever been taken seriously we would never have heard of him, but now we have to sit and wait for millions of voters - including his own - to realise that his bigotry will be a disaster for them too.

I think what Derek is trying to say here is that he wants me to lend him something for Friday night...

Slightly different role on Hamburg pn Friday. Heading north to the Stadtderby, HSV-Sankt Pauli, not to commentate but instead to do pitchside work next to @archiert1.bsky.social exclusively for ESPN+ viewers in the USA. A fiery occasion in store at the Volksparkstadion. Join us from 14:00 ET.

“Sometimes as a number nine you don’t always get involved in the game. Throughout my career, I feel like I’m too good on the ball not to touch it enough.” Harry Kane with some insight on how he interprets his role after another hat-trick in Bayern’s 6-0 win v RB Leipzig. Fun conversation. 🎥 ESPN

About to get under way on ESPN for the season with Bayern Munich v RB Leipzig. Jan Aage Fjortoft and Thomas Hitzlsperger with us pitchside. @raecomm.bsky.social behind the mic

Ten years since I moved to Germany + started covering the Bundesliga on the ground aaaand still excited for it. 🥳🥳🥳 "It's boring, Bayern always win it" No one's forcing you to watch…ok, I am actually. Watch it. Watch it now! Let me hype you for this coming season.

My feedback from today’s episode is going well

Why would I do something as reckless and counter-intuitive as launch an old fashioned website in 2025? Have a read here: trackrecordmedia.org/about/

“The coach is very big on celebrating every trophy as if it’s our first.” Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane after their 2-1 win at Stuttgart last night, with Thomas Hitzlsperger on ESPN. Check Kane’s reaction when we mention Manuel Neuer’s save 😅

Wrighty on the money about infrastructure and finance being needed. Being “an inspiration” isn’t concrete enough to create opportunities

ES KOMMT NACH HAUSE. GOD SAVE CHLOE KELLY. IN KÖLN GEHT'S GLEICH MIT DEM AUTOKORSO LOS. JAWOHL.

I wrote something about Lotte Wubben-Moy and what next season might hold for her after she made a highly considered and informed decision to sign a new contract in April 👇🏻🔴⚪️ awnewsletter.arseblog.com/a-lotte-pond...

It was a great pleasure to meet Mael Corboz. Born in Alabama, raised in New Jersey, but now at the heart of a footballing miracle in Germany. He will captain Arminia Bielefeld in Saturday's DFB-Pokal final. @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/636...

FC Köln - back in the Bundesliga.

Seeing some people say that Crystal Palace "end their wait for a trophy". This misses the point. Waiting for a trophy suggests they've been expecting it for a long time. They haven't. That's what makes this great.

Well then

www.theguardian.com/football/202... This week’s column is on Raphinha, fuelled by the perfect balance of rejection and affection, and driving Barcelona to the double

Imagine trying to get some Krombacher at Aldi but Arminia Bielefeld is celebrating promotion right in front of them lol

Alphonso Davies tried to avoid a beer shower. He failed.

Hamburg are up again! Finally 😅

👋

It’s done - Xabi Alonso announces he is leaving Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season.

a good game. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Incredible that over 3.5 hours of sensational football, Barcelona were only ahead for six minutes.

A goalkeeper being Man of the Match after a 4-3 sums up how crazy this game / tie was.

Feels like I just ate too much football cake.

Just thinking back to those discussions which happened when Yann Sommer was at Bayern that he was too small… 😅

First set to Inter on a tiebreak 👏

If you're watching this game in Germany, I'm hearing that doctors recommend you take exactly one dose of Wolfsburg-Hoffenheim on Friday night to offset the excitement you are currently experiencing.

It's nice when a Champions League semi-final has a similar energy to a wild kickabout in the park. So, at this point, I think the losing team will be the ones who get dragged home for tea first.

May this game never stop. Glorious. 🥹 #INTBAR

It's just nice to see him very happy 🥹

Iñaki Williams x @sidlowe.bsky.social

a lot of people crediting that goal to Raphinha but I know what you did last, Sommer

If you want to know whether the experiment of allowing Red Bull a place in the Bundesliga has worked, I'd say this image speaks volumes.

Zurück in Liga 2

When you’re in Augsburg and… 😮
