Bundesliga

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge turned 60 Friday. Rummenigge was Germany's National Team Captain and is currently the president of Bayern Munich.

The striker played three World Cups in a row (1978, 1982 and 1986), making it to the final in both the 18982 and 1986 cups.

Rummenigge was born in Lippstadt. At 19, Bayern Munich signed him and he became a full-time professional footballer. Previously, he shared soccer and his cashier job at a bank.

Chicharito Hernandez has opened his Bundesliga account. The Mexican striker scored his second goal for Bayer Leverkusen (he got his first in the Champions League last week) against Mainz Wednesday.

Robert Lewandowski has scored 5 straight second half goals in 9 minutes against Wolfsburg. The Bundesliga game was at 1-0, it ended 5-1.

Here are all five of his goals.

Unbelievable. Mind blowing. Amazing. Lewandowski now owns VfB Wolfsburg, or he might as well. 

Borussia Dortmund spent $100.5 million on player salaries in 2014. Let’s get that out of the way, because the idea that BVB are anything but a financial giant in German soccer is at the best untrue and at worst annoying. Ok, we can have fun now!

Javier Hernandez has made quite the impression at Bayer Leverkusen.

The man who led Borussia Dortmund above and beyond everyone’s expectations during his seven year spell has now spoken out about returning to football since leaving the club. The German manager who is currently in a hiatus in his career to “take stock of the countless memories” has hinted at where he may end up when returning to football. 

It's hard to say if Bayer Leverkusen knew they were gong to pick up a heck of a lot more fans after bringing in Mexican striker Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez from Manchester United, but that is what happened.

We can tell that's what happened because when the transfer was announced earlier this week Bayer Leverkusen's website actually crashed.

It seems to us that no team really understands how huge soccer is in Mexico until they bring aboard a Mexican player. Chicharito's transfer announcement garnered more than 50,000 likes on Facebook and more than 15,000 retweets. 

Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez is moving to Germany. The Mexican striker never really clicked with manager Louis van Gaal at Manchester United, being sent on loan to Real Madrid last season, and is now headed on a permanent transfer to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.

Chicharito's ghastly performance against Brugge likely proved to be the last straw, as far as the Red Devils were concerned.

Alek Skarlatos stopped a terrorist attack in Paris. Skarlatos helped take down an armed terrorist on a train, all while wearing a Bayern Munich jersey.

Bayern Munich, it seems, though it would be nice to invite Skarlatos to their training ground for a little visit.

Borussia Dortmund’s early Europa League match in Norway Friday literally finished against all the odds. 

The German club arrived in Norway early Thursday morning to face Norwegian football club Odds Ballklubb. From what looked like an easy match for Dortmund on paper, turned into a game of catch-up after Odd scored three unanswered goals in the first half. Thomas Tuchel was staring at his first loss in charge of Borussia Dortmund at 45’, but the boys in yellow came out on top to move on in the Europa League campaign.
