German Bjorn Lindemann is one of Army United's new signings in the Thai Premier League. Shortly before his departure to Thailand we had the opportunity to speak with him.

It was few weeks ago that Bjorn Lindemann decided to turn his back on football in Germany. His first stay abroad has led him to Thailand; to the military sport club Army United. Lindemann, to German football fans, is known from his time with Paderborn and Osnabruck. In our exclusive interview he speaks of his time in Jena, and how in Thailand he has won back his passion for football. Winfried Schafer, Stefan Brasas: all are interviews we‘ve done in the recent past. Lindemann? This felt different. He is known as a man-about-town. Fan darling in Osnabruck, nevertheless and unexpectedly refreshing and different.

Since a few month, Stefan Brasas is the goal keeping coach of the Thai national team. Together with Winfried Schafer, he tries to make the impossible, possible. To bring Thailand to the World Cup 2014™. Stefan's job, to condition the guys between the posts. An exclusive interview with him is giving us insight into his work.

During his active career as goalkeeper Brasas played for German clubs like Werder Bremen and MSV Duisburg. Felix Magath was one of his coaches. Hard to believe but true, Stefan Brasas and Chonburi coach Withaya Laohakul have something in common. Both played for Saarbrucken, although both didn't came across. Heang was with the Gemran side at the early 1980's while Brasas been there at the early 1990's. With Omnia Nikosia (Cyprus) Stefan won his one and only championship title.

Just a few hours left until Thailand will play his first World Cup qualification match in 2011. In the 2nd round of the Asian WC-Qualifiers for Brazil 2014, Thailand will have to take on Palestine. 

Very little is known about Thailand's opponent, the football in the country and the national team of Palestine. However, there is a German boy running a Blog about the football and the national team. We met with him in order to find out more and we had to learn that football in Palestine is not an easy thing.

Since 1st of July Winfried Schaefer has been in charge of Thailand's national team. During the training camp in Buriram, we had the opportunity to exclusively interview the 61-year-old German.

For 3 years now Thailand's top league has been booming. In the past Thailand's best used to earn their money abroad, now almost everybody has returned home, and the TPL is one of the best leagues in Southeast Asia. Unfortunately, Thailand's flagship, the national side, went vice versa recently and left many fans in anger. Defeats, especially to Vietnam, or draws against neighbouring Laos gnaw on the pride of Thailand's football fans and are perceived at least as badly as if England would lose to Germany, Scotland and Wales at the same time. Reasons for it may lay deep. Lack of structure in the area of youth development. The FA distinguishes itself with a lack of planning ahead, at least for European understanding, and afterwards the hiring of Bryan Robson appears in not a good light.
