Saturday’s clash home against Bayern Munich is roughly the 1/3 mark of the season. With 6 losses already on the campaign it doesn’t take a mathematician to figure out that if there’s any hope to qualify for CL or Europa next year the bleeding must stop now. When they won it all just [...]
And then there were 2

Well, Stuttgart have officially flamed out of one competition already this year, falling to SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1-0 in the Pokal, with the other 2 in critical condition. Same story, different day. Threaten, but never score. Give up a goal early on during one of the limited attacks from a momentary lapse [...]
Drought much?

Yeah, it’s officially been over a month since Stuttgart won any type of match in any competition. I guess I feel less bad about not blogging about this past Saturday’s match due to wedding obligations…or any sort of leadup to today’s Pokal match.
Stuttgart travel to play SpVgg Greuther Fürth in a sweet sixteen matchup [...]

Well, that kinda sucked. Can’t help but feel a bit empty after coming out with such a spirited effort and coming away with nothing. Make no mistake about it, Stuttgart were the better team on the pitch last night. They completely dominated possession and dictated the pace of the game, especially throughout [...]

To quote the late, great Oscar Wilde, “What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.” And such is the optimistic outlook we will try and employ here. Things may seem grey at first sight; Sevilla has been one of the best teams (at least post WC qualifiers) over the [...]
9 games. 2 wins. Enough said.

In-form Schalke nipped all 3 points in Stuttgart with a 2-1 victory over Die not-so-mighty Schwaben. Despite Stuttgart’s best efforts they find themselves coming away with nothing and tied with 3 other teams for relegation zone status…yikes.
It seems Babbel’s grand shuffle of the starting XI wasn’t the right concoction this time around either. [...]

Beginning to sound like a broken record but here’s yet another vitally important game for Stuttgart, at home, vs Schalke. Ah how we’ve come full circle. Just about a year ago Babbel began his glorious campaign against Schalke. Stuttgart won 2-0. Things were full of such promise.
Cut to a year later. [...]

OK ladies, gents. The international break is over, and so is mine. Little to no news = little to no posts.
A quick roundup of things that happened over the break:
-Stuttgart players played zero part in Germany’s advancement over Russia. Cacau and Hitz warmed the bench and Tasci and Khedira (foot) were out. [...]
Mediocrity continues

Stuttgart’s latest defeat at the hands of Werder Bremen 2-0 sink them lower down the table yet again. Bremen struck early on and never really looked back. Stuttgart had a few decent chances in the first half but weren’t able to capitalize. And yet again, as they’ve done so many times this year, Stuttgart came [...]

I have to apologize; like the team I stumbled a bit with a game every 3 days. A bit late posting this but better late than never ja?
Big game today; the green whites have looked strong all year domestically and even more so in European play. It’s also yet another test to compete [...]
