Germany does have two ways to play Germany entered the tournament playing adventurous, high-pressing and attacking football and ended having spent their last couple of games sitting in the stubbornest of defensive shells — and playing their best football in the process. Of course, Christian Wück & co. had to adjust to the situations and…
Bayern Munich faced Flamengo in the Round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup. This was certainly going to be difficult, owing to Flamengo’s quality…. and the South American tendency to play rough. What ensued was an entertaining game, in which Bayern dominated, not in possession but in goals. And flash news; Harry Kane…
Fulltime Observations Vincent Kompany’s substitutions at halftime (Joshua Kimmich, Harry Kane, and Michael Olise) turned a static match into a thrilling watch but ultimately failed to find the equalizer against a very organized Benfica defense. It’s insane that Michael Olise is only 23 years old. His creative ability was unparalleled today as he gave the…
Fulltime Observations WHY DOESN’T BAYERN SEND IN MORE CROSSES!?!?!? Two goals tonight came from pinpoint crosses. Dominating possession has its merits but at some point the ball needs to get into the box. Crosses are notoriously difficult to cover because defenders have to mark on the move while also judging the trajectory of the cross…

Here are the biggest takeaways. Devoid of defensive cohesion Let’s start with the bad, and boy was Bayern Munich’s sketchy defence bad. Now, I don’t…
Uninspiring is the first word that comes to mind when looking at Bayern Munich the last couple weeks. Bayern Munich looked like they were heating up heading into the winter break but have stumbled hard in January. Bayern Munich look deflated Bayern Munich were heading into this match up against probably the weakest team in…
Full-time Observations Alphonso Davies is the best left-back in the world. There are a few players who are close, but his form and natural athleticism are unmatched. Bayern needs to go back to the strategy of selling the future with Davies right next to Musiala. Leroy Sané’s finishing is abysmal. He finally snuck one by…
Bayern Munich yet again saw an early conclusion to their DFB-Pokal campaign. A trophy they have not won since the 2019-2020 season. Bayern Munich are desperate for a trophy After going trophyless in what seems like an eternity, Bayern Munich are down to just the Bundesliga and Champions League for possible trophies this season. Losing…
