1860 Munich look to stretch unbeaten run

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

TSV 1860 Munich's coach Reiner Maurer stressed that there was still a long way to go this season ahead of his side's first ever match against newly promoted SV Sandhausen on Saturday.

A solid start to the season has seen the Lions remain unbeaten this season, building on a run that stretches back to May, indeed table-topping Eintracht Braunschweig are the only club to have even scored a goal at the Allianz Arena this season in a fiercely contested 1-1 draw last Sunday.

Contrastingly, SV...

Lions savage Sandhausen in one-sided affair

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

1860 Munich's comprehensive 4-0 win against SV Sandhausen marked the culmination of an excellent week for Moritz Stoppelkamp, the player scoring his second goal in as many games after reclaiming his place in the starting eleven in the midweek victory at FC Ingolstadt 04.

Stoppelkamp had hinted at some dissatisfaction at losing his place in the side in the first place due more, according to Coach Reiner Maurer, to tactical naivety than any issue over performance.

His comments certainly raised...

1860 Munich victorious in Upper Bavarian Derby

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

There's nothing like a lovable underdog. I should know because I've been following 1860 Munich for years, and for most of that time that's exactly what they were. The perennial underachievers. At some point every season, you realise this one's just not going to be it. They might one day make it back to the top flight of German football, but not this year. It's always a sad day when you finally come to terms with such a reality.

Which is what makes this season so uncomfortable. They lost some...

A man of the match performance from Thomas Müller separated Schalke 04 and Bayern Munich at the Veltins Arena, the forward setting up Toni Kroos before scoring himself shortly after the restart.

The game had been a nervy affair in the first half with both sides reluctant to over-commit, yet despite this each side had been guilty of missing chances; Mandzukic with a back post header looked certain to continue his rich vein of form but inexplicably missed from six yards out.

For Schalke it was...

Vettel victorious in Singapore

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

Germany's Sebastian Vettel shone in Formula One's night race, storming to victory in the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday, ahead of Britain's Jenson Button and now climbs to second place in the standings, just 29 points behind championship leader Fernando Alonso, who finished third. The start gave the chance for pole sitter Lewis Hamilton to take an easy getaway, ahead of Williams driver Pastor Maldonado. But Vettel took advantage of the Venezuelan's poor start and rocketed into second behind the...

EHC Red Bull München 0 Augsburg Panthers 2 The first big derby of the season was watched by 4309 expectant fans on Friday as the Augsburg Panthers visited the Eishalle.

EHC got the puck into the AEV zone quickly, but were immediately hit on the break and confusion between Felix...

Bayern easily pass Spanish inquisition

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

It was just over 11 years ago that Bayern Munich last faced Valencia in the Champions League. That night they beat the Spaniards on penalties in the final to claim what remains their last European trophy. Of course, they almost added to that collection this summer, but Chelsea had other ideas. So, Bayern took to the pitch against the 'best of the rest' from La Liga in the opening game of this season's competition hoping that happier, more distant memories could help banish recent painful ones.

Basketball ready to bounce back

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

When football appears to be the only spoken currency in Bavaria, it takes a brave president to back the rise of another sport under the same club badge. Uli Hoeneß has never been a man to shy away from a challenge, just look at Javi Martinez this summer, but basketball? FC Bayern Munich Basketball has been hiding away for far too long and is too often mistaken for its noisy footballing neighbour. The rejuvenation of the side is no marketing ploy either, there is history and pride at stake. The...
