Found out this evening that my new grandson likes to hear me sing Stern des Südens to him. About a week old and he already has good taste. :tup:

Bayern has HSV for the 5th match of the season and Cologne for the 6th match. Boy I wish we lived closer to one another, we could have some good football parties. :tup:

This would be fun, no doubt about it !

Hmmm, the say that Sammer has got "new priorities" in his life. Whatever that means.
But Bayern is paying him a compensation what I find strange if Sammer would have decided himself to quit his job. :cautious:

What I take away from his statement is that after his big health scare this past year he's realized he devotes a ton of energy and time to the club and wants to spend more time with family and etc. which he can't do while in this position.

He's right. As soon as Gomez went down it was over. He was really the only true goalscorer they had (something which desperately needs addressed going forward).

Apparently this isn't a done deal from what I'm reading. Dortmund doesn't want to pay the amount Bayern wants and Tottenham might. Dortmund can't afford the 27 mil that Bayern wants.

So Brett Favre is a Bayern fan and now this; http://www.fcbayernmunich.com/us/ne...-saebener-strasse-odell-beckham-jr-150716.php

"Wir sind dabei" seems to be a very popular idiom in Germany. It can be translated a number of different ways in English depending on the context. But I keep seeing signs that say this phrase. Is the common meaning "We are here"? And is it commonly associated with some company or club?

While I'll defer to Nessie to give the official answer... I've always used that phrase to say, "We are there". For example... When the FC Bamberg official asks who is riding on the team bus to the next away game. I would answer Tyce ist dabei... (Tyce is there). When we reach the stadium, Wir sind Dabei. We are there.

As far as I've seen the phase used, it doesn't have anything to do with some company or club... it could be used to describe friends taking a trip. But I think the phrase would translate moreso with "We are there".

I would say the best translation is "I'm in". Who's gonna join us on Saturday in Munich? "I'm in" . ( Ich bin dabei). "Wir" (we) is just plural.

Was going to say that too. I didn't know you smart Germans understood that connotation of "I'm in".

Robben played 35 minutes in a friendly yesterday and injured his groin. Out for 6 weeks.

I have a feeling his career may be over. His body is simply rejecting the strain of futbol.

You might be right, he is one of the most injury prone players I know. Bayern should move on and look out for a replacement in the near future, don't expect them to extend his contract after this season.
He's got a very impressive injury history and it certainly wont get better in the future

They have begun planning already with the additions of Coman and Costa, but they'll need some more depth at that position as both Ribery and Robben have very limited time left.

Robben out for 6 weeks again?!? They'd be better off keeping Götze and letting the fragile man walk away.

Too late, Götze will return to Dortmund for 26m Euros. Will be confirmed officially tomorrow.
