Yet another transfer window opens



If you hadn't noticed before, the Bayern-Dortmund Champions League final 2013 certainly cemented the Bundesliga's status as one of the top 3 leagues in Europe and the world. After winning the World Cup thanks to a spine of Bayern players and some others, it's time to put the unity of cheering for the national team behind us and return to the tribalism and hating each other of club football.

Once again, 17 teams vie to dethrone Bayern from their throne. From their fiercest rivals in recent years, Borussia DortmundVfL Wolfsburg, to SV Darmstadt who still haven't quite understood how they ended up here and what the hell they're supposed to do. The season will kick off on August 14th with Bayern-Hamburg and end on May 14th, 2015.


The Teams



Fußball-Club Bayern München e. V.
(aka FCB, Bayern, Dusel-Bayern)

Founded: 1900
Official colours: red and white
Home ground: Allianz Arena (71,901)
Biggest rival: All of them except Bochum
Current Manager: Josep „Pep“ Guardiola i Sala
Domestic titles:
Championship: 1932, 1969, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1980, 1981, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1994, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2015
German Cup: 1957, 1966, 1967, 1969, 1971, 1982, 1984, 1986, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2014
International titles:
Champion's League: 1974, 1975, 1976, 2001, 2013
Cup Winner's Cup: 1967
UEFA-Cup: 1996

Bringing home a mere domestic championship with only 3 games to spare thanks to a string of very unfortunate injuries, Guardiola has a lot to answer for this season.
So the club did what they do best, raid other clubs; so it came to be, that Diegoouglas Costa from Shaktar and Torturo Vidal from Juventus found their way to Munich.
It'll be Pep's last season here before venturing to City for €28m p.a, so watch as Kimmich and Hojberg might make their breakthrough while Vidal most certainly breaks through some legs.

Why you should root for them: They win things. You likely know a lot of these guys from the World Cup. You love watching bastards like Vidal tear poo poo up. Thomas Müller
Why you should hate them: They win too much. Pep lets them play boring football. Bayern winning is boring. Their fans are boring/terrible/entitled. Arjen Robben. No Schweinsteiger.



Verein für Leibesübungen Wolfsburg Fußball GmbH
(aka VfL Wolfsburg, “Die Wölfe”)

Founded: 2001 (1945)
Official colours: green and white
Home ground: Volkswagen Arena (30,000)
Biggest rival: The plastic fans really don’t care
Current Manager: Dieter Hecking
Domestic titles:
Championship: 2009
German Cup 2015

Having won the DFB-Pokal against Dortmund last season, Wolfsburg has also been dubbed the No.1 Bayern-hunter, as if that had any worth. The squad is rather talented and Heckings passive playing style had them beat Bayern twice in a row now. Let's see how the runner-ups manage in their second CL-campaign in club history.

Why you should root for them: You fondly remember Roy Präger.
Why you should hate them: They're a plastic club funded by VW. They're as boring as their city.



Borussia Verein für Leibesübungen 1900 Mönchengladbach e. V.
(aka Borussia Mönchengladbach or "Die Fohlen")

Founded: 1900
Official colours: black, white and red
Home ground: Stadion im Borussia-Park (54,067)
Biggest rival: 1. FC Köln
Current Manager: Lucien Favre
Domestic titles:
Championship: 1970, 1971, 1975, 1976, 1977
German Cup: 1960, 1973, 1995
International titles:
UEFA-Cup: 1975, 1979

"The other Borussia" is currently enjoying its best spell since the early 1990s team of Effenberg et al., but their reputation stems from the 1970s where they were the main rivals to the golden generation of Bayern. Back then, they were synonymous with an energetic, offensive style, now Lucien Favre has installed his trademark compact 4-4-2 system. It remains to be seen if the team will stagnate in Favre's fifth season or can continue to carefully make steps forward, towards another run into the Europa League.

Why you should root for them: You want to follow a rock-solid team that can upset the top clubs on a good day. You are attracted by their 1970s legacy, including Günter Netzer's fabulous hair.
Why you should hate them: You'd prefer more of a spectacle. You already root for another team from Northrhine-Westphalia.



Bayer 04 Leverkusen Fußball GmbH
(aka Bayer, Werkself, Vizekusen)

Founded: 1904
Official colours: red and black
Home ground: BayArena (30,210)
Biggest rival: 1. FC Köln
Current Manager: Roger Schmidt
Domestic titles:
German Cup: 1993
International titles:
UEFA-Cup: 1988

Leverkusen play football.
Bayer have, over the past several years, quietly assembled a complete team of great talent and even some depth. A top 4 finish is to be expected, but the competition is fierce this year.

Why you should root for them: A talented team that usually plays attractive football. Pity because they can't consistently sell out their small stadium.
Why you should hate them: They're the original plastic club funded by Bayer. Rudi Völler's aggressive ranting. You loving hate Leverkusen's loan bullshit.


Fußball-Club Augsburg 1907 e. V.
(aka FC Augsburg, FCA)

Founded: 1907
Official colours: red, green and white
Home ground: SGL arena (30,660)
Biggest rival: TSV 1860 München
Current Manager: Markus Weinzierl

Augsburg not only managed to overachieve again, they got a direct ticket to the EL-group phase thanks to their fifth place finish. Now it remains to be seen whether the squad can perform with European games tossed in between the league season.

Why you should root for them: You like overachieving underdogs. You like the risk that the mediocre bunch will not overachieve this year.
Why you should hate them: Um... errr... hmmm... Ah! I got one: they might stop overachieving.



FC Gelsenkirchen-Schalke 04 e.V
(aka Schalke 04, S04, „Die Knappen“, “4-Minuten-Meister”)

Founded: 1904
Official colours: blue and white
Home ground: Veltins-Arena (61,673)
Biggest rival: Borussia Dortmund
Current Manager: André Breitenreiter
Domestic titles:
Championship: 1934, 1935, 1937, 1939, 1940, 1942, 1958
German Cup: 1937, 1972, 2001, 2002, 2011
International titles:
UEFA-Cup: 1997
UI-Cup: 2009, 2004

Schalke has proven to be a rather inconsistent club, winning away versus Real Madrid while losing against some small time club in the league in a week. The squad has tons (TONS) of raw talent but nary an experienced player to show them the ropes (those guys are busy failing medical checks for other clubs). The club got in pretty hot water with firing a pale Keller, hiring the even paler Roberto di Matteo and firing him at the end of last season. Luckily Heldt, der Horst managed to sign Breitenreiter which went over very well with the fans.

Why you should root for them: True working class roots. Feeling like a plucky underdog despite competing for a top 4 finish with a talented team.
Why you should hate them: Noveau riche thanks to taking on debt/Russian gas money. Club run by bellends (i.e. Clemens Tönnies).



Ballspielverein Borussia 09 e. V. Dortmund
(aka Borussia Dortmund, BVB)

Founded: 1909
Official colours: yellow and black
Home ground: Signal Iduna Park (80,720)
Biggest rival: FC Schalke 04
Current Manager: Thomas Tuchel
Domestic titles:
Champions: 1956, 1957, 1963, 1995, 1996, 2002, 2011, 2012
German Cup: 1965, 1989, 2012
International titles:
Champions League: 1997
Cup Winners Cup: 1966

Klopp left after a seven year stint, leaving Tuchel a bit of work with the squad that's seen better days, but at least managed to qualify for the EL-qualification round after a really terrible first season half.
Immobile somehow moved to the injured list of Seville. Dortmund might turn out better this season.

Why you should root for them: The technocratic touch Tuchel embodies and that has sprung over to the team and the supporters.
Why you should hate them: The technocratic touch Tuchel embodies. Fans starting to feel entitled after a couple of good years. Kevin Großkreutz.



Turn- und Sportgemeinschaft 1899 Hoffenheim e. V.
(aka TSG, Hoffe, 18,99, Hoppenheim)

Founded: 1899
Official colours: blue and white
Home ground: Rhein-Neckar-Arena (30,150)
Biggest rival: real fans, maybe VfB Stuttgart to a certain extent
Current Manager: Markus Gisdol

In his youth, Dietmar Hopp played football for TSG Hoffenheim and 27 years later, he decided to give something back and help the small town club. In between, Hopp had founded SAP, a multi-billion euro enterprise, and had become a billionaire himself. He pumped considerable amounts into the club, including training center and a new stadium. And of course a lot of players, although Hopp and Hoffenheim have avoided really big transfers. After a lot of trouble in the locker room, the team seems to have stabilized under Markus Gisdol's leadership. The young team occassionaly shows flashes of the team that stunned the league after their promotion, but is also prone to fall completely apart from time to time.

Why you should root for them: Hoffenheim matches are rarely boring. Pity because no one likes them. You buy into the romantic illusion of the club from a small village making it to the big leagues.
Why you should hate them: They're plastic-est of plastic clubs in the Bundesliga. Despite their pledges of focussing on youth development, most of their young talent is still bought and paid for.



Eintracht Frankfurt e. V.
(aka Die Adler, SGE, Schlappekicker, Launische Diva)

Founded: 1899
Official colours: Red, black and white
Home ground: Commerzbank-Arena (51.500)
Biggest rival: Kickers Offenbach
Current Manager: Armin Veh
Domestic titles:
Championship: 1959
German Cup: 1974, 1975, 1981, 1988
International titles:
Cup Winners' Cup: 1980

With Schaaf resigning, Veh returns to the club he led from the 2.Bundesliga to an EL spot. Can't gauge how the team will perform with him at the helm this season.

Why you should root for them: You like Peruvian bullies
Why you should hate them: Their fans are terrible bunch who once hailed themselves "German rioting champions".



Sport-Verein Werder von 1899 e. V. Bremen
(aka Werder Bremen, Werder, “Die Fischköppe”)

Founded: 1899
Official colours: green and white
Home ground: Weserstadion (43,789)
Biggest rival: Hamburger SV
Current Manager: Viktor Skripnik
Domestic titles:
Championship: 1965, 1988, 1993, 2004
German Cup: 1961, 1991, 1994, 1999, 2004, 2009
International titles:
UI-Cup: 1998
Cup Winners’ Cup: 1992

Werder has fallen far from grace, although Skripnik could be a return to Schaaf-form with high-scoring games on both sides. A joy to behold for neutrals, especially after the Dutt episodes.

Why you should root for them: You still believe they're just one step away from returning to their early 2000s form.
Why you should hate them: Their sponsor Wiesenhof is a terrible company. You realize they’re far, far away from their early 2000s form.



1. Fußball- und Sportverein Mainz 05 e.V.
(aka Mainz 05, Karnevalsverein)

Founded: 1905
Official colours: red and white
Home ground: Coface Arena (34,034)
Biggest rival: SV Wehen-Wiesbaden, Eintracht Frankfurt to a degree
Current Manager: Martin Schmidt

After five years at the helm, Thomas "Klopp jr." Tuchel resigned and is being succeeded by former FC Nordsjaelland manager Kaspar Hjulmand, who in turn was succeeded by Martin Schmidt.

Why you should root for them: You like Karneval, but neither Cologne nor Düsseldorf.
Why you should hate them: You like Karneval, but rather Cologne or Düsseldorf.



1. Fußball-Club Köln 01/07 e.V.
Founded: 1948 (merger of two clubs founded in 1901 and 1907)
Official colours: red and white
Home ground: RheinEnergieStadion (49.968)
Biggest rival: Bayer Leverkusen, Fortuna Düsseldorf
Current Manager: Peter Stöger
Domestic titles:
Championship: 1962, 1964, 1978
German Cup: 1968, 1977, 1978, 1983

Welcome back to one of the names that feels like it should always be a part of the Bundesliga! Since their first ever relegation in 1998, Köln have been bouncing back and forth between leagues. There's always a sense that this is only a temporary inconvenience, but the club seems to have realized that you shouldn't spend as if you're going to qualify for the Europa League in your first season back. On paper, Köln's team looks like a top 2. Bundesliga contender, but, as always, it remains to be seen where that puts you in the top flight.

Why you should root for them: You like Karneval, but not Mainz or Düsseldorf. You think Kölsch is actually beer. They have a live animal mascot.
Why you should hate them: Poldi is not here anymore. You're rooting for another club from along the Rhine.



Hannoverscher Sportverein von 1896 e. V.
(aka Hannover 96, Die 96er, Die Roten)

Founded: 1896
Official colours: black, white and green
Home ground: AWD-Arena (49,000)
Biggest rival: Eintracht Braunschweig, Werder Bremen
Current Manager: Michael Frontzeck
Domestic titles:
Championship: 1938, 1954
German Cup: 1992
International titles:
UI Cup: 1967, 1972, 1973

The downward spiral continued and Hannover barely saved their asses from relegation. Their best player with Stindl is gone to Gladbach, so it's hard to predict how they will perform. Also Dufner has been let go after doing this seasons plans.

Why you should root for them: You like the utter blandness they embody.
Why you should hate them: Hannover is the epitome of boring - both the city and the club. Chairman Martin Kind is lobbying for allowing complete takeovers (a.k.a. eliminating the 50+1 rule).



Verein für Bewegungsspiele Stuttgart 1893 e. V.
(aka VfB)

Founded: 1893
Official colours: white and red
Home ground: Mercedes-Benz Arena (60,449)
Biggest rival: Karlsruher SC
Current Manager: Alexander Zorniger
Domestic titles:
Championship: 1950, 1952, 1984, 1992, 2007
German Cup: 1954, 1958, 1997

Pretending to play football, the clubs foundation was a lost pub bet in which a drunk Swabian idiot confused 'footing the bill' with kicking the crap out of his neighbors, the Hitlers (and look what that got us). Here we are 119 years after the fact and the club still has not learned what the beautiful game of football entails.
Will probably rank higher with Zornigers aggressive style thanks to a young squad.

Why you should root for them: More drama than in any scripted reality show.
Why you should hate them: Swabian Bruddeler Fans: the team loses once and the whole world crumbles (“I hanns doch imma scho gsagt”).



Hertha BSC Berlin
Founded: 1892
Official colours: blue and white
Home ground: Olympiastadion Berlin (74,244)
Biggest rival: Schalke
Current Manager: Pál Dárdai
Domestic titles:
Championship: 1930, 1931

After their return to the Bundesliga in 1997, Hertha was a club full of ambition befitting the club from the nation's capital. Years of misguided actions and overpaying for mediocre players culminated one Champions League run, but ultimately led to turmoil and relegation. These days, people in the capital pray the club stay up.

Why you should root for them: Berlin. :cool: You find the fact that the club’s named after the steamboat on which it was founded quaint.
Why you should hate them: Berlin. :rolleyes: Their fans are an aggressive bunch prone to demolishing their own stadium.



Hamburger Sport-Verein e.V.
(aka HSV, Rothosen)

Founded: 1887
Official colours: blue, white and black
Home ground: Imtech Arena (57,000)
Biggest rival: St. Pauli, Werder Bremen
Current Manager: Bruno Labbadia
Domestic titles:
Championship: 1923, 1928, 1960, 1979, 1982, 1983
German Cup: 1963, 1976, 1987
International titles:
European Cup: 1983
Cup Winners' Cup: 1977

"H-H-H-S-V!" is a classic chant of Hamburg supporters, "Ha ha, HSV!" is what we post when the league's prime source for schadenfreude delivers again. The club itself was notoriously torn apart by the egos of its board members whose feuds were well chronicled in the local tabloids which has prevented any sense of realism arriving about their steady decline. This summer, a club reform was voted on that should reduce the infighting, only to be challenged in court over a formality (which couldn't/can't really stop it, though). The last founding member of the Bundesliga to never be relegated, Hamburg barely dodged the bullet in the last two years, "winning" the relegation playoff against Karlsruhe with a freekick that never was last season. If the new regime doesn't start rebuilding the team fast and hard, it will be another very, very difficult season for them.
Relegation play-off defending champion.

Why you should root for them: You genuinely think they're just one step away from the big turnaround.
Why you should hate them: You find the backroom chaos endearing or just delight in schadenfreude. Or you just want the club put out of its misery and finally punted into the 2. Bundesliga.



Fußball-Club Ingolstadt 04 e.V.
(aka Die Schanzer)

Founded: 2004
Official colours: red and black
Home ground: Audi Sportpark (15,000)
Biggest rival: Rivalries need a history first
Current Manager: Ralph Hasenhüttl

A relatively new team, formed by the merger of two other Ingolstadt teams in 2004. Moving quickly from the 4th division to the second, they secured their first ticket to the Bundesliga by winning the 2. liga in 2014-15

Why you should root for them: They have an American player
Why you should hate them: As if the Bundesliga needed another team from the middle of nowhere funded by a gigantic corporation



S.V. Darmstadt 98
(aka Die Lillen)

Founded: 1898
Official colours: blue and white
Home ground: Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor (17,000)
Biggest rival: Kickers Offenbach
Current Manager: Dirk Schuster

Since the creation of the modern Bundesliga, Darmstadt have been in the top flight just twice (1978–79 and 1981–82). They followed up that success with a lengthy stretch of financial mismanagement that saw them go as far down as the fourth division by the late 90s. After finally getting their poo poo together around 2012 and being promoted to the third league via their fiercest rival's own financial problems, they surprised everyone by getting the 2nd spot in the 2. league for the 2014-15 season, thus securing promotion to the Bundesliga after 33 years in their final league game against St. Pauli by winning 1-0 at home through a 70th minute free-kick.

Why you should root for them: The biggest underdog the league has to offer this year, they went from 4. liga to 1. liga in just five seasons
Why you should hate them: You support Frankfurt


When are they playing?

The German Bundesliga usually plays all games of a matchday in "one" piece. No "x games in hand" crap to keep in mind unless winter or rain strike really hard.

The standard Bundesliga weekend looks like this:
  • Friday, 20:30: 1 game
  • Saturday, 15:30: 5 games
  • Saturday, 18:30: 1 game
  • Sunday, 15:30: 1 game
  • Sunday, 17:30: 1 game
In some weeks with European competitions mid-week, the Friday game gets preemted. There's also going to be some mid-week fixtures. On the last two weekends, all 9 games are played simultaneously, saturdays, 15:30 which makes for good drama (just ask Schalke).

If you're unsure if there are games, ask Wazza's Magical Fixture Link.


Other Competitions

As always, this thread will be open to discussion to all things German football from the cup and the national team to the dreary depths of the 2. Bundesliga.

I'm banking on neither of them playing as much as last season, provided we don't have the same ridiculous amount of injuries. Also, it's just Bundesliga matches, not CL or Pokal.

So we all have to keep our eyes on the Bayern games to not miss any goals that fulfill Dunban's toxx criteria? That's a clever way to boost viewership.

I wonder whether Bayern might not have their eye on Weinzierl (depending on how he does this season).

Also, literally kill me if Klopp is the next Bayern manager. A ban won't suffice.

Mainz apparently signed a contract with Infront Sports & Media worth €260m over ten years (sponsoring fyi).
