  • Why is the September and October international break so long?

    Why is the September and October international break so long?
    International breaks are co-ordinated by world governing body FIFA, allowing players to represent their countries while domestic leagues pause across the major footballing nations.
    Until now, the September and October windows have typically been separate, each lasting around two weeks. That meant one weekend without Bundesliga or Bundesliga 2 fixtures in both months, alongside international windows in March and November and an end-of-season window in June.
    In March 2023, the FIFA Council approve

    The German goalkeeper's two costly errors in Liverpool's 2017/18 UEFA Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid came to define his career. Now, more than eight years on, Karius is proving himself to be among the Bundesliga's standout custodians.
    The criticism following Liverpool's 3-1 defeat in Kyiv was intense, and the impact on Karius went far beyond football. "Up to that point my career had only been going steeply upwards, then I suddenly crashed hard – all the way down to the b

    Kane's start to the 2026/27 Bundesliga season had, up until Sunday's clash with surprise package Elversberg, been somewhat unusual, in that he had failed to find the net in Bayern's first two matches, namely a comfortable 5-1 victory over Stuttgart and a scoreless draw with a Loris Karius-inspired Schalke.
    Given the Englishman's remarkable consistency, which has seen him rack up an incredible 98 goals in 96 league matches prior to Matchday 3, this brief dry spell was always going to be rectified
