Welcome to the first German Fussball Podcast round-up of the year with Markus Fjortoft (@markusfjortoft), Jan Aage Fjortoft (@janaagefjortoft)! Tributes were made nationwide to Der Kaiser, Franz Beckenbauer, whose remarkable career as both player and manager has left an indelible mark on German football. Harry Kane's stellar performance has seen him equal Robert Lewandowski's Bundesliga record, with 22 goals in the first half of the season. Meanwhile, young talent Musiala continues to impress, securing Bayern's new Bundesliga record for scoring in 65 consecutive home league games.  We delve into the impact of new signings, including Sasa Kalajdzic, Donny van de Beek, Jadon Sancho, Ian Mattsen, Eric Dier, and Eljif Elmas. Additionally, we explore Max Eberl's impending move to Bayern Munich as the ex-sporting director of Leipzig and Borussia Mönchengladbach, shedding light on the anticipated changes. Also, we cover key match outcomes, such as Bayer Leverkusen's late victory against Augsburg making them 'Hinrunde' Champions, and Eintracht Frankfurt's historic away win at RB Leipzig. We also touch on Dortmund's resurgence against Darmstadt, Gladbach's triumph over Stuttgart, and the stalemate between Freiburg and Union.  We conclude with a new recurring segment with Jan!
