Mannheim and Kaiserslautern indeed have a rivalry and it is similar to Offenbach and us. Both Mannheim and Offenbach are the closest rival, however there have always been a couple of leagues between Frankfurt/Kaiserslautern and their "smaller" rival. So chances of meeting are relatively slim...

Lautern had indeed an incredible fall from grace. I definitely miss them in the top flight, they are our biggest derby (and Offenbach, but chances that we are crossing path with them are slim or pretty much non existent). These days our matches against Mainz are considered a derby by the...

All rivalries aside: The Betzenberg/Fritz Walter Stadion is one of my absolute favourite grounds in all of Germany and I am pretty sure most people, who have been there, would agree.

Saarbrücken is considered the "Backpack French" in Germany because their state is super small and located right next to France. Over the course of history they have been part of France, then back to Germany, back to France etc. So their culture is French influenced as well and the Saarbrücken...

Cup Semi Finals tonight... Saarbrücken at Home against Kaiserslautern. 3rd division Vs. 2nd division and both clubs hate each other with a passion. Saarbrücken so far eliminated Karlsruhe, Bayern, Frankfurt and Gladbach at home. Amazing really...

Got to admit I was not aware that this series existed. As you mentioned RTL is usually not known for quality TV entertainment, so that might indeed explain why I missed it. Trailers look promising though.

The song is from Peter Schilling - Major Tom which has been a must at every gathering with potentially drunk Germans. Pretty old now, but still a banger. ;-) Just put of curiosity, which TV series are you referring to?

Lebe jeden Tag so dass die AFD etwas dagegen hat! (Seem to recall you speak German, if not ignore the comment) ;-)

Hannover at home Vs Kaiserslautern yesterday evening in BuLi 2. Two of the old guard facing each other in a packed stadium with 5000 away fans BuLi 2 is just incredible to watch at the moment.

I don't get it at all mate, it's so weird to me...Lot of comments like "pink is a gay colour, men don't wear pink etc etc". I am from Frankfurt which is the financial capital of Europe and in the summer you can see tons of business men in pink dress shirts/polo shirts etc. around the stock...

Germany released this YouTube clip for the release of their new Euro 2024 kit which is actually pretty decent. Not used to that from the DFB. The home kit looks pretty standard but the away one sparked an outrage primarily by the right wing snowflakes that currently are out in full force as...

Tifo for our anniversary and a 3-1 win over Hoffenheim

And a bonus picture....next level guy who got a so called "Kutte" ( If you have been to Germany you know those kind of "vests" ) tattooed on his back.

Special Birthday celebrations yesterday in Frankfurt when the club celebrated its 125th anniversary. Founded by a bunch of friends on the 8th of March 1899 and the first German club to play a Champions League/League Winners final which still goes down as one of the best football matches in...

As some of you might have noticed pretty much every match in the last weeks was interrupted by the fans. Throwing of tennis balls, remote cars with smoke bombs, remote toy planes, banners and loud chanting against the DFL (Deutsche Fussball Liga/German Football League) Reason for that was that...

He was named player of the year in Italy in 1989 when Serie A was the best league in the world. Should tell you everything you need to know about the kind of player he was. :-)

I don't really think he had a weak foot. He scored a penalty against Mexico in 86 with his left foot and scored the penalty in the 90s final with his right foot.

1990 WC legend Andreas Brehme has died aged 63. I can remember how much I celebrated his penalty in the final of the 1990 WC in front of my parents TV. Absolute legend in Germany and a class player. Ruhe in Frieden Andi!

Magdeburg with 15000 away fans at Hertha in BuLi 2. If you have an interest in German football and maybe want to get your feet wet with your first couple of grounds over here, look no further than BuLi 2. So much tradition, big clubs and overall interesting games. Hansa Rostock stole...

To be fair while Özil was not considered a major factor in us winning the WC (he was much better at the South Africa World Cup), his performances on the pitch were not as much of an issue, but him (and Gündogan) posing for pictures with Erdogan during a time where the relationship between...
