TSG Hoffenheim, the local team of village named Hoffenheim who has 3772 ppl and right they are second in the Bundesligua, the owner of the club Dietmat Hopp is Billionaire who is from that village and he invest a lot on the team, when he bought the club the team was in german 8th division. Well done by him . I now hope TSG heffenheim will be Bundesliga champion.

Reminds me of Gretna FC in the Scottish Premier League. Although, I am sure TSG will do a much better job than Gretna who seem to have sudden rise and and even sudden slump down to earth.

Wow

we should get our iranian players to join that team aor live in that village. with a population of only 3772, they can make it to the team and pretty soon start playing in bundesliga as fixed starters

its so early in the season but i really hope they dont get relegated

Today they beat Hannover 86 5-2 and right now they are the best team in Bundesligua, i really wish they could stay till the end of the season and be champion.

the owner has a lot of haters tbh. fans want him dead calling him the 2nd Abramovic who only buys stars and bla bla.
in my opinion as a billionaire you can risk a lot of things instead of investing in a 8th division club.
He rly did great and the team plays rly good at the moment.

after disliking them first, I have really learned to really like that club now.

I think hoffenheim is the best managed team in whole germany.

-in a very short time they have established one of the best youth systems in germany. all their youth teams play in the highest leagues.

-they have without any doubt the best scouting in germany. their team consists of a bunch of former nobodies. they were all scouted from all around the world, lower german leagues and german youth teams.
they could buy a bunch of stars if they wanted, but they dont.
when they promoted to the 1.bundesliga, they only brought 2,3 new players who were nothing special in their previous clubs.

-they have the best philosophy. they only apply what works best; no emotions, tradition or any ulterior motives involved.
their sporting director being responsible for the first team and all youth teams is a former field-hockey coach!
have I already mentioned how successful these teams are?

-they have a great attitude.
they are not arrogant at all. their main aim is still avoiding relegation. they celebrate every goal and point they get, they play fair, their brazilian playmaker is a hard-working, self-less and well-tempered guy (how many other teams with a brazilian playmaker can claim that).




they are building a 30000 seater, which they will be able to fill for sure.

hoffenheim is only a suburb of the real city sinsheim. and sinsheim is not very far away from mannheim. and mannheims former great club is playing in the fourth german league.

all their haters need to realize what a gift to german football this team is. and they are slowly.

They are now the best team in Bundesligua, hope they will stay number 1.

[Arashi_Washi]

They are crushing opponents 3-0 after 3-0....

These guys are a fairytale...
