  • Excellent show, sadly over

    Bundesliga Diaries was my connection to the league from the US. It was like walking in on new friends as they bickered over a kitchen table about 50+1, historically good keepers, why Mirko thinks ‘this is the year for Dortmund’, etc... You felt like you were welcome and were learning, but not in an overwhelming way. Sad to see them not continue, it feels like the end of Christmas…
