I am, of course, speaking of the ongoing transfer saga of 19-year-old Tunisian Amine Chermiti. I talked about him being all but signed back in May. And then waited. And waited. And waited.
I think the problem was actually discussing it when it was that close- I jinx transfers that way. (I have a lot of [...]

A Glamour Friendly, Minus All That Glamour
By: Abby | 7 Comments
Yesterday Hertha BSC took on the English giants Liverpool over at the Olympiastadion, a glamor pre-season friendly that the website had been hyping up for about two weeks with lots of tidbits about the I’m sure lovely city of Liverpool (I have never been, so I don’t have much to say). 51,684 spectators gathered to [...]

So said Cicero. Well, the one famous for speaking, anyway, who was a character in one of my favorite TV shows. I thought it appropriate, since we just signed a totally different Cicero.
Cicero Santos is our guy. He’s a Brazilian (bringing our current total of Brazilians to 5) who was most recently at Fluminese, losing [...]

More goals then they can stand.
Seriously. There were a hell of a lot of goals at the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn Sportpark (a smaller Berlin stadium for the smaller-draw event)- in fact, so many that it ended up being Hertha’s record win in Europe. When the whistle blew at the end the scoreboard read 8-1 for Hertha.

That’s right, Hertha BSC is back to playing tomorrow. And not just another pre-season game, a game that mean something. After qualifying for Europe though the Fair Play League, we’re tossed into the qualifying round of the UEFA Cup.
Our opponents are FC Nistru Otaci. They are from Moldova. Two games into the Moldovan season and [...]
We Have the Fun Names

Lulu, for one, is a great name. We’ve also got a Kaká, which will, as stated, never get old. Fabian Lustenberger is also a fabulous name (and he has such pretty curls). And we might be adding a new awesome name to that list.
Berliner Morgenpost reports that we’ve already signed Cicero, from Fluminense. As something [...]

So long, Mineiro. Good luck in your future endeavors.
The 32-year-old Brazilian finally rejected Hertha’s offer of a new contract, and he’s off. It’s not the most surprising- he’s not young and he didn’t play huge amounts last season. While it’s always neat having a Brazilian international on the squad, it’s not nearly as earth-shattering as, [...]

Signs were pointing to it, but the optimist I am, I chose to ignore it. Recent quotes, though, say that Marko Pantelic wants to leave. SkySports says that Bild says that Marko says “there is hardly any chance of me staying,” and while those are not exactly two of the most reliable sources in the [...]

Between the Euros and visiting relatives, there wasn’t much time for blogging, sadly. And how I missed it! While things have been quiet, thanks to the tournament (yay for Arne being entirely awesome, especially against Portugal), my little break means that the news has piled up.
First up, today’s news. The draw for the first UEFA [...]
