Going Deutsch

Alexs Woodward and Tant-Brown recap matchday two of Euro 24: Klaus Gjasula scores at both ends as Albania draw with Croatia, Germany win their second game 2-0 against Hungary, whilst plenty of opinions are shared from England's 1-1 draw with Denmark. Austria become one of Woodward's favourite sides as they beat Poland 3-1, Georgia miss a massive chance to win their first game at an international tournament, and Türkiye score the funniest own goal of all time against Portugal. Also on the pod: the best kit at the Euros, crochet, and which country could break Germany's child labour laws.

On the first episode of Euromeister 24, the first matchday of the Euros is covered with the added bonus of guests! Alexs Woodward, Towells and Tant-Brown look back at the first twelve games: Germany get off to a great start by smashing Scotland 5-1, the shock of the round sees Belgium lose 1-0 to Slovakia, whilst Albania's goal after 23 seconds is not enough to see them get anything out of Italy. France and England have disappointing performances despite winning, and Türkiye and Georgia put on a show in a 3-1 Turkish win. Also on the pod: Towells says he loves a big coq, Tant-Brown complains about late stage capitalism, the worst kits at the tournament, some fans of referees, and the continent descends into a food war.

Alex rounds up the 2023/24 season on Going Deutsch with a review of the 2. Bundesliga. St. Pauli win the league but have plenty of worries going into the top flight, Kiel make their first trip to the first tier after finishing second, whilst Düsseldorf miss out after blowing a 3-0 lead in the play-offs. At the wrong end of the table, Osnabrück and Wehen are relegated at the first attempt, the latter through a controversial second leg in the play-offs, whilst Hansa return to the third tier in a moment that Alex was clearly saddened by. Also on the pod, more talk about HSV, confusing managerial decisions, and a reference to Bake Off The Professionals.

On the new longest ever episode of Going Deutsch, Alex reviews the Bundesliga's 2023/24 season. Bayer Leverkusen break Bayern's 11-year stranglehold on the title with the first ever invincible season in the league's history, Stuttgart go from third worst to second best in a wonderful campaign for Sebastian Hoeneß, whilst Bayern drop to third after the treble was under risk. Elsewhere, Christian Streich says goodbye, there's praise for Frank Schmidt and Bo Henriksen, whilst Köln and Darmstadt are relegated. Also on the pod, awards, a look back at some terrible predictions, and the realisation of how cheap Álex Grimaldo was.

On an episode of Going Deutsch which is about as late as the average train in the UK: Borussia Dortmund lose the Champions League Final to Real Madrid, Fortuna Düsseldorf lose their chance to get promoted following a devastating 3-0 loss to Bochum, and Wehen lose their place in the 2. Bundesliga at the expense of Jahn Regensburg in a controversial 2-1 defeat. Meanwhile, the 3. Liga line-up for next season is completed by Hannover II as they overcome the Würzburger Kickers in the Regionalliga play-offs. Also on the pod: confusing managerial decisions, great news from the Cartel Office, a missing invite, an unnecessary zoom, and the meanest banner in football.

On this week's Going Deutsch: Bayer Leverkusen make it two out of three as they win the DFB Pokal but lose the Europa League final, the play-offs see Düsseldorf take a huge 3-0 win against Bochum into the second leg, whilst Jahn Regensburg and Wehen draw 2-2. Also on the pod, a look at Finaltag der Amateure, why Bayern hope they're in good Kompany with their new manager, an even more questionnable managerial decision in the Zweite, bad jokes about semi-professional football teams, and why there was a Liechtenstein flag spotted in the former West German capital.

Following a great last day of the season: Bayer Leverkusen beat Augsburg 2-1 to become the first Bundesliga side to go invincible, Union Berlin leave it late to stay up against Freiburg whilst Bochum slip into the relegation play-off and Köln go straight down to the second tier. Speaking of, St. Pauli win the 2. Bundesliga after beating Wehen on the last day, Wiesbaden however remain in the relegation play-off spot as Hansa Rostock are relegated thanks to a defeat against Paderborn where the fans once again destroyed their own image as well as their stadium this time. Also on the pod, Dortmund says goodbye to Reus, Bayern say goodbye to the chances of hiring a good manager, the German Football YouTube channel makes another mistake as there's another back-to-back promotion in the 3. Liga, more from the Regionalliga, and Alex tries to convince you to watch a whole day of sides you've never heard of fighting for trophies you've also never heard of (trust me, it's great).

On a very celebratory episode of Going Deutsch: Bayer Leverkusen get one step closer to invincibility as they beat Bochum 5-0 in their 50th undefeated game, Köln come from 2-0 down to beat Union 3-2, whilst Mainz leapfrog the side from the captial with a completely non-controversial 3-0 win against Borussia Dortmund. In the Zweite, Holstein Kiel celebrate their first ever promotion to the Bundesliga whilst St. Pauli mark their first return to the top-flight since 2011 (see if you can guess if Alex is happy about that), Braunschweig secure safety with a win against Wehen whilst the midweek game saw Osnabrück get relegated. Also on the pod: a slapstick goal in the Dritte, more from Europe's semi-finals and the equally important Regionalliga, why someone cut out a sponsor, a gift basket for a legend, and more lovely stories about 777 Partners.

It's May on the Going Deutsch podcast (and everywhere else to be fair): Union Berlin and Bochum play out a classic as the latter win 4-3 and the former part ways with Nenad Bjelica, Leverkusen win 5-1 away at Frankfurt to tie Benfica for the longest undefeated run in European football history, and every side in the battle for Europe decides they don't want to play in any UEFA competition. In the Zweite: HSV beat St. Pauli as Kiel return to the top of the league, Düsseldorf keep up the heat with a 3-1 win against Nürnberg, and Fürth continue to be the entertainers with a 3-3 draw against Eintracht Braunschweig. Also on the pod: Ulm secure back-to-back promotions, Christian Streich gets a standing ovation, Kevin Müller's eyes, Bayern moving to their 40th option as they continue to get rejected, and why Osnabrück have been kicked out of their own stadium.

This week on Going Deutsch: Bayer Leverkusen do it again as they score in the 96th minute to draw with Stuttgart and keep their unbeaten season going, Bochum beat Hoffenheim 3-2 whilst other European contenders fall, Darmstadt meanwhile return to the second tier following defeat to Heidenheim. In the Zweite: St. Pauli return to the top of the league following a win against Hansa whilst Kiel lose to Kaiserslautern, Dusseldorf draw with Schalke and Fürth's 5-3 win against Wehen sees Markus Kauczinski fired. Also on the pod: the Tuchel vs Hoeneß debate, Steffan Baumgart sells his coach, a commentator finds a man sleeping, and a jazz bed makes its grand return.

CORRECTION: The Würzburger Kickers were last in the 2. Bundesliga in the 2020/21 season.
