My club Hannover 96 has become the team with the best home record so far this season. 10 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats translate into 31 points, 2 points ahead of Bayern. Additionally, they have breached the 50 points mark and are now officially playing their best season ever. The former record was 49 points. And there are still 7 more games to go!
My orginial intention was to blog about European football in general, but I am more and more amazed by and drawn to my club's success. I mean, you can't really blame luck for their 3rd place in the league anymore. This Saturday one could once again see a perfect execution of counter-attacking-football. It didn't take the offense more than 10 seconds to score once Hannover 96 got the ball from Hoffenheim.
Granted, Hoffenheim isn't the Hoffenheim of one or two seasons ago. But still, they have billionaire SAP founder Dietmar Hopp to support them with lots of money. I just don't see team spirit there, unlike Hannover's.
As you can tell, I'm all positive right now :)
Another video I NEED to show you is about Italian striker Mario Balotelli, currently playing for Manchester City. I just can't... how... I mean sure, sometimes the bibs are a little tricky to put on, but THIS?
What do you think of him?

Also, Hannover won 2:0, so the weekend's great.

"I was watching the Blackburn game on TV on Sunday when it flashed on the screen that George Ndah had scored in the first minute at Birmingham. My first reaction was to ring him up. Then I remembered he was out there playing." -Ade Akinbiyi, Nigerian Striker, on George Ndah
Wait... wat? Also look at his body.

Video Wednesday: Italian Joy
Hey Folks,
sorry that I wasn't online for a few days, but I was on vacation :) Im so glad people contienued to comment! Returned yesterday and immediately watched Champions League - Bayern vs. Inter.
What a shameful display by the German team, I have to admit. When their best team is on the pitch, including Robben and Ribery, their offensive abilities are incredible. Until the 68th minute when Robben got injured, Bayern dominated Inter and had oh so many chances. But you know how it is in Football: if you don't score the goal, your opponent will punish you for it.
Munich's young Brazilian defender Breno primarily caused the 3rd goal of Inter. But I was so dissapointed by all of Bayern's defense that I actually started applauding Inter :) I wasn't quite as happy as him though:
That vid is from last years final but I think it applied last night as well. Too fanatic? What do you think? =D
The loss does not really matter anyways, Germany overtook Italy in the 5-year-ranking which means more international participants from here!
What else? Oh yeah, Hannover lost to Cologne 4 to nothing. After the last weeks' high this was not totally unlikely. I hope it is the warning shot at the right time!

Video Wednesday: 3rd Eye
I'm sure the visitors from the UK know the show Soccer AM 3rd Eye. For you other visitors, in this show they display some fun clips which were seen on the TV, in which things don't go the way everybody would expect them to do normally.
To show you what I mean, have a look at this video of French striker Thierry Henry and his actions before the match. It is a few years old but shows what a cool guy Henry acutally is. Atleast when he's not using his hand to defeat the Irish ;)
