Absolutely not! Ned knows I'm a BVB fan for life. Interestingly enough, I was on the Südtribüne when he came back with 1860 and they absolutely torched us. Paul Agostino scored twice! But Zelic was different class. He was one of the best players in the Bundesliga, often captained 1860, and...

Great question. The first team I ever really took notice of was the Socceroos. I played football as a kid and went to a few Socceroos games with a friend at the old Sydney Football Stadium in the early 1990s. I was in the crowd the day we beat Canada on penalties and drew with Argentina in...

I don't think anyone supports Eintracht Braunschweig, do they?! I'm a lifelong Borussia Dortmund fan. I was having a laugh with Paul Lambert last year about him being in the BVB starting side at the first Bundesliga game I ever attended...
