Only an Election
By: Abby |Sorry for the lapse in posting, but I’ve been focused on a major European competition. No, not the Euros (that’s later), but something just as competitive- the Eurovision Song Contest. Russia won, for those keeping track, and also had the tiniest ice rink I’ve ever seen. For those who don’t know me very well, I [...]
Spoil Your Party? That Wouldn’t Be Fair
By: Abby |And fairness is what we’re all about here at Hertha BSC Berlin.
Hertha went to Munich over the weekend, because someone had to play in the Oliver Kahn Retirement Show and luck of the draw picked us. So we went down to Munich and promptly- and politely- got our butts kicked.
But that’s okay, because it was [...]
Two Signings, Two Days
By: Abby |The season isn’t even over yet, and already Hertha have signed two players. And that’s not even counting Marc Stein, who’s been committed to us since January.
Today brings the news of Maximilian Nicu, signed from SV Wehen Wiesbaden in the 2. Bundesliga. He’s a German attacking midfielder, 25 years old, and has scored 6 [...]
This Will Never, Ever Get Old
By: Abby |Hertha have signed Kaká.
Granted, this Kaká is a defender. And he’s coming to us from Portugal, not Milan. (He’s still Brazilian, though.) Also, I’d never heard of him until last week. But still. Kaká! This will never stop entertaining me.
Anyway. Claudiano Bezerra da Silva is a 26-year-old from São José do Belmonte. He’s 26 years [...]
Luck and Fairness
By: Abby |Just a quick one before I head off to watch Showgirls, with commentary…
The Bundesliga had their name pulled out of the hat and gained an extra UEFA Cup place for the fairest of teams. And, with one game to play, that fairest team is…Hertha. (As I said to Jan- I don’t know how a team [...]
Eins, Zwei, Drei, Neun
By: Abby |Apologies for lack of posting in a week where actual things were going on, but I’ve been having a birthday and therefore without time to write up posts.
But in my absence, Hertha’s done surprisingly well for themselves. Three wins in a row as of today, and as I type we’re in ninth. One of those [...]
No, Really!
By: Abby |Next season, Hertha might have Kaká.
Thanks Buddy!
By: Abby |It feels nice to win again. Even if it was a bit lucky in the end, every team is due a bit of that now and again. It’s our turn.
KSC started bright, missing several good chances before giving us a present- keeper Markus Miller misjudged a long ball from Arne Friedrich, allowing Gojko Kacar [...]
A Visit From Some Friends
By: Abby |Karlsruher SC, our friends from Baden, come up for a visit on Saturday. When we went over to their place earlier in the season we left the points with them. This week, I hope that they return the favor.
Despite falling off a bit lately, KSC have been the surprise of this season. Freshly promoted [...]
