Talking Fussball

Another English Week in the Bundesliga means Talking Fussball is going into high gear with a mega-episode! 

This week's episode opens with Matt and Svenskafans Bundesliga correspondent Axel Falk talking over what went down down on Match Day 15 as BVB kept on trucking at the top and Bayern made up ground on Gladbach. The two also mull over what Monday's draw in the Champions League and Europa League will mean for German teams.

And just after the 38:00 minute mark, JT and Flo take over to fulfil your fantasies! Joshua Kimmich, Serge Gnabry and Robert Lewandowski scored a combined 107 points if you had them as your star men last weekend, but can they do it again at home to Leipzig? All this and more as TF Fantasy helps you navigate the midweek madness of Match Day 16!

The Bundesliga is heading into the home stretch ahead of the winter break - it's time to pile up as many points as possible before the whole thing shuts down for the festive period when we're all forced to hold our noses and watch the EPL.

JT and Flo are here to give you tons of tips on how to get the most out of Match Day 15 - dig in! Produced by Aidan Rantoul.

Schalke went into the weekend looking to hang a first loss of the season around Dortmund's necks in the Revierderby, and mmm...thengs didn't go that way.

Matt follows up on the game with an exciting new guest, Marie Schulte-Bockum, who writes about the Bundesliga for Focus-Online...and also happens to be a lifelong Schalke fan. They also discuss what Bayern Munich's goals for the season should be, what's gone so wrong in Stuttgart, the rousing Werder debut of Josh Sargent , and much more. Produced by Aidan Rantoul.

After a series unlikely heroes stood out last weekend, there are plenty of questions to answer ahead of Matchday 14. What are the risk factors involving Bremen as the Friday night pick? Who’s the number one pick with Bayern set to score big against Nürnberg and is there value in the Revierderby?

It wasn't the prettiest win from BVB, but it got the job done. And after Gladbach faltered on Sunday, Dortmund found themselves on top of the league with a seven point cushion.

Matt gets together with Kit Holden of the MailOnline for an extended chat about the Schwarzgelben's success as well as the future of Christian Pulisic, who's out of favor in Dortmund, but in demand in the EPL. The two also discuss the recent strong form of RB Leipzig (who bought an USMNT player of their own this week) and much more. Produced by Aidan Rantoul.

We know the episode's late, but we have a good reason! JT's migraine laid him low on Thursday, but he got in touch with Flo today to get you ready for Match Day 13 in the Bundesliga. The boys have plenty of line-up advice ahead of the weekend, so get listening!

Another late collapse from FC Bayern München means Niko Kovac is not long for his seat on the bench of the Rekordmeister. Will it be Arsene Wenger to take the reins?

Matt talks that over with Matthew Marshall, Bundesliga ground-hopper extraordinaire. The two Matts also sort out the relative merits of the two surging Borussias, as well as what lies ahead for plenty of other Bundesliga sides on a weekend that served up plenty of surprises and goals. Produced by Aidan Rantoul. 

A two-week break was just about enough time to recover from one of the most thrilling Klassikers in recent memory - now we’re entering the final stretch of 2018 and there’s not much time left to hoard points before the Bundesliga’s winter hibernation. Is Havertz a must-have on Friday night? Which Bayern players should you back against Düsseldorf and is Michael Gregoritsch fighting fit once again?

Jogi and the boys had an other disappointing result in the Nations League, leading to a drop in class...but will their renewal project pay off yet?

To figure it out, Matt tracks down his former week-in-week-out partner Abel Meszaros, who tells us what he's been up to this season (HINT: Hungarian TV). They zoom in on the German national team, figure out what makes Eintracht so good, and discuss a few Bundesliga sides with uncertain futures. Produced by Aidan Rantoul.

If it wasn't clear before, it is now. The Bundesliga has a new sheriff in town, and it is Borussia Dortmund. Their comeback win over Bayern kept them top of the league, and pushed the Bavarians all the way down to fifth in the league after Gladbach, Leipzig, and Frankfurt all notched wins.

Matt rounds up Stephan Uersfeld of ESPN to talk over what happened at the Westfalenstadion as well as what went down in the rest of the league as what feels like a new dawn breaks in the Bundesliga. Produced by Aidan Rantoul.
