The Greatest

Monday, 23 February 2009 14:45 FFootball

We take you back a few decades. "The Greatest" is a movie about the best teams, players and goals of the European Championships in the 20th Century.

Held every four years since 1960, in the even-numbered year between World Cup tournaments, it was originally called the UEFA European Nations Cup, changing to the current name in 1968.

The idea for a pan-European football tournament was first proposed by the French Football Federation's Henri Delaunay in 1927, however it was not until 1958 that the tournament was started. In honour of Delaunay, the trophy awarded to the champions is named after him.

The wonder of Hoffenheim

Sunday, 22 February 2009 20:59

In 2006, the club sought to improve its squad and technical staff by bringing in players with several years of Bundesliga experience, most notably Jochen Seitz and Tomislav Marić, and by signing Ralf Rangnick, former manager of Bundesliga teams SSV Ulm 1846, VfB Stuttgart, Hannover 96, and Schalke 04, to a five-year contract.

The investment paid off in the 2006–07 season with the club's promotion to the 2. Bundesliga after finishing 2nd in Regionalliga Süd.

Remarkably, the club spent only a single season in the 2. Bundesliga, where they finished in 2nd place and received automatic promotion. The 2008–09 season is Hoffenheim's first in the German top division where they are at the top of the table during the winter break with 35 points, thereby winning the unofficial "Herbstmeister" (Autumn-Champion) title.
