United States international midfielder Alfredo Morales has signed for Fortuna Dusseldorf after the club was promoted to the Bundesliga.

Holstein Kiel’s Holstein-Stadion is too small to host Bundesliga games, the DFL has ruled.
The German Football League (DFL) has denied Holstein Kiel a special licence to play in their 10,000-capacity Holstein-Stadion should they win their first promotion to the Bundesliga because their ground does not meet top-flight standards.
Germany’s most northern club have appealed the decision, but now could be forced to play their home games away from home.
Having only won promotion to 2. Bundesliga last summer, Holstein have qualified for the relegation/promotion playoffs on May 17 and May 21….
Eintracht Frankfurt’s Kevin-Prince Boateng spoke in favour of the Bundesliga’s anti-discrimination campaign.

The FC crew explain why Australia’s outlook at the World Cup is dreary after being drawn with France, Peru and Denmark. Brandon Borrello isn’t getting his World Cup hopes up after he was surprisingly snubbed by Socceroos coach Bert van Marwijk for this month’s friendlies.
But the former Brisbane Roar star still believes “anything is possible” if he keeps up his red-hot displays in Germany’s second division.
Borrello has been on fire for Kaiserslautern in recent weeks after breaking into their first team and is arguably the most in-form Australian playing in Europe at the moment.
The 22-year-old has scored three goals…
Duisburg have announced that they plan to auction off the very water bottle that played a central role in one of the most bizarre goals ever scored.
After assuming that Duisburg had scored in their 2. Bundesliga game against Ingoldstadt at the weekend, goalkeeper Mark Flekken turned to take a swig from his bottle, only for the ball to promptly end up in the back of his net.
Die #Sinalco schmeckt … #MSV und Mark #Flekken versteigern seine berühmt-berüchtigt gewordene Trinkflasche vom 2:1 gegen @Schanzer zu Gunsten der #zebrakids! Flekki: „#Zebras, macht mit und gebt euer Gebot ab!” Wie’s genau funktioniert, lest ihr hier: https://t.co/geGT6CRFZq pic.twitter.com/oKq5x232IP— MSV Duisburg (@MSVDuisburg) February 27, 2018
After just about overcoming the embarrassment, Flekken has now decided to offer up the bottle for sale in order to raise a…
Duisburg goalkeeper Mark Flekken made an all-time blunder Saturday vs. Ingolstadt.
Goalkeeper gaffes are nothing new in football, but the manner in which Duisburg goalkeeper Mark Flekken covered himself in shame on Saturday might just be a sporting first.
In his side’s 2. Bundesliga match against Ingolstadt, the Dutch keeper went from hero to zero in a matter of seven minutes, stopping a penalty in the 11th minute before conceding a goal so cringeworthy it will be played on loop in blooper reels for years to come.
After an Ingolstadt goal kick, Ingolstadt quickly worked the ball…

The Bundesliga alone generated €3.37bn, up from €3.24bn in 2015-16, while the…
