The Netherlands and Germany played to a scoreless draw in yesterday evening’s international friendly at the sold-out Amsterdam Arena Stadium.

Swedes may be disappointed, embarrassed and even feel hatred towards the Swedish government over their complete and utter opportunism in the case regarding WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
However Swedes will have the complete opposite feelings for their national football team who surprised and delighted the whole nation!
It was to be Germany’s northern neighbour who took on Germany yesterday evening – Sweden vs Germany at Berlin [...] Continue Reading…

Hamburg got its very first season win and it was a glorious affair – for Hamburg fans in any case and they have not had much to cheer about recently.
Last week they put up a brave 2nd half with only ten men and nearly tied Eintracht Frankfurt but ended up losing.
