zweite Bundesliga
Tradition pur …
Die 2. Bundesliga startet in die Saison 2025/26 – und das mit einem Kracher-Duell zwischen dem FC Schalke 04 und Hertha BSC am Freitag, 1. August, um 20:30 Uhr (Sky, Sat.1/ im Liveticker bei sportbild.de).
[–>Weder Schalke noch Hertha können mit der vergangenen Saison in der 2. Liga zufrieden sein. Die Hauptstädter beendeten die Spielzeit lediglich auf dem elften Rang, während die Knappen sogar nur Platz 14 erreichten.
In der kommenden Saison soll sich das ändern. Beide Traditionsklubs haben das klare Ziel, wieder in die Bundesliga zurückzukehren, dorthin, wo sie ihrer eigenen Vorstellung nach auch hingehören.
Schalkes neuer Sportvorstand Frank Baumann im Interview mit RTL: „Die 2. Liga ist auch in der kommenden Saison eine ganz, ganz spannende und interessante Liga, vor allem aber auch eine ausgeglichene Liga. Auch wenn die letzten Jahre schwierig waren, müssen wir die neue Saison als Neustart sehen. Wir haben auf Schalke eine große Tradition und die Fans eine sehr große Sehnsucht nach erfolgreichen Zeiten.“
Woltemade zu Bayern?: „Jetzt geht der Poker richtig los“
Die Veröffentlichung der kompletten Spielpläne für Bundesliga und 2. Bundesliga erfolgt am heutigen Freitag, dem 27. Juni, um 14:00 Uhr. Dann wissen Fans endlich, wann ihre Klubs in der neuen Saison auf Punktejagd gehen.
Die Bundesliga startet übrigens erst drei Wochen später am 22. August. Für den FC Bayern beginnt die Mission-Titelverteidigung am Freitag (20.30 Uhr/Sat. 1, Sky und bei BILD.de im Liveticker) mit einem Heimspiel gegen RB Leipzig.
Für RB Leipzig ist es eine echte Premiere: Erstmals stehen sie im Eröffnungsspiel der Bundesliga auf dem Platz. Ganz anders die Münchner, die bereits zum 16. Mal seit 2002 Teil des Auftakts sind. Ihre Bilanz kann sich sehen lassen: Der FC Bayern blieb in allen bisherigen Spielen ungeschlagen, mit 13 Siegen und drei Remis.

NFL Week 5 Team of the Week: Rico Dowdle Fills In and Shines on Sunday
<!--> [--> Greg Auman NFL Reporter <!--> --> Each week, we’ll offer up the very best of the NFL for a given week, kind of like the fantasy football team you wished you had.We’ll pick one quarterback, two running backs, two receivers and a tight end – OK, this is sounding a lot like a super-hindsight fantasy football team – as a way to look back on the weekend that was.We have a familiar face that stood out at wide receiver, and another return performer at running back. Let's break it down.Pretty strong week for quarterbacks, with five guys throwing 3+ touchdowns without an interception. But the most compelling game was Mayfield, who finished 29-for-33 for 379 yards with two touchdowns, outdueling Seattle's Sam Darnold in a shootout in Seattle. Darnold led Seattle on five straight touchdown drives, including a […]
Tensions rise in the WNBA as Napheesa Collier, Caitlin Clark, and Cathy Engelbert clash over leadership
The WNBA has seen its fair share of disputes, but recent tensions between star forward Napheesa Collier and Commissioner Cathy Engelbert may represent a pivotal moment in the league's evolution. Collier, Vice President of the WNBPA Executive Committee, didn't hold back in her postseason exit interview, accusing Engelbert of tone-deaf leadership and alleging behind-the-scenes comments that have ignited league-wide controversy.Engelbert's alleged "be grateful" remark sparks outrageCollier claimed Engelbert had said Caitlin Clark should be "grateful" for earning millions in endorsements, crediting the WNBA for giving her a platform. If true, the comment would suggest a dismissive view of Clark's individual marketability and a broader lack of appreciation for the athletes driving the league's current success. Engelbert has denied making such a statement, calling Collier's claims inaccurate in a press conference before the WNBA Finals.What followed has only deepened the divide. […]

Jacory ‘Bill’ Croskey-Merritt Runs Away With LFG Player of the Game vs. Chargers
Jacory Croskey-Merritt had a big day in the Washington Commanders' 27-10 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he's remaining humble amid his breakout.The Commanders' rookie running back took home Tom Brady's LFG Player of the Game with his 111-yard rushing performance on Sunday, adding multiple touchdowns in Washington's victory. Croskey-Merritt was also efficient with his carries, going for 7.9 yards per pop and adding 39 receiving yards.As Croskey-Merritt had nearly 10 yards per touch on Sunday, it might seem hard to believe that he was just a seventh-round rookie looking to make the Commanders' roster just a couple of months ago. But Croskey-Merritt is crediting those around him for setting him up for success so early in his NFL career."It feels amazing," Croskey-Merritt told Brady of his performance on Sunday. "I'm so thankful for this organization — for believing […]
Seahawks’ defensive meltdown spoils Sam Darnold’s near-perfect day vs. Bucs: ‘It hurts’
SEATTLE — By the time the doors to the Seattle Seahawks’ locker room swung open to reporters on Sunday afternoon at Lumen Field, many of the defensive backs were fully clothed and prepared to exit.Aside from a few brief side conversations, there wasn’t much to say after surrendering a season-high 379 passing yards to Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. All across the locker room, guys were eager to flush Seattle’s 38-35 loss to the Bucs and exit the venue.AdvertisementThen there was Coby Bryant.The veteran safety, one of only two first-string defensive backs to start and finish the game Sunday, sat alone in his locker still draped in nearly all his game attire, minus the jersey and shoulder pads. Bryant is the type of player whose expression can often tell the story of the day, both in times of […]
