We’re Adequate!

By: Abby | Comments 4 Comments

And not much more.
A 0-0 draw against St. Patrick’s- described, as expected, as “battling”- in rainy Dublin means that we’re through to the group stages of the UEFA Cup. The Irish side had some good chances, Voronin a couple as well, but he’s still looking for his first Hertha goal. And while it may not [...]

Urgh.

By: Abby | Comments No Comments

Not really the best weekend, football-wise. Normally I’d be avoiding the news until the end of the week, but I have a job to do (especially after slacking when my mother was in town all last week). So I’m pushing through. There’s a game tomorrow. Really.
Anyway, to sum up the last week: two losses. The [...]

Foals and Airplanes

By: Abby | Comments 1 Comment

After a period of a year or so, I’m taking a German class again. Football can only do so much for one’s language capabilities. On Wednesday we concluded our class by watching a video, which ended with the touching story of a just-married couple in Munich spending their wedding afternoon watching Bayern Munich play Borussia [...]

Wir Bauen Eine Neue Stadion?

By: Abby | Comments 1 Comment

Hertha BSC Berlin plays in one of the world’s landmark stadiums, the Olympic Stadium (Olympiastadion) in Berlin. An impressive monolith of a stadium, brimming with history, the Olympiastadion has hosted scores of major events, including the 2006 Wold Cup, the 1936 Olympics it was built for, and every year’s DFB-Pokal. Renovated in 2004 for the [...]

Not Done Yet, But Not A Bad Place to Be

By: Abby | Comments 3 Comments

A 2-0 win over St. Patrick’s Athletic today meant that we’re in a good position to advance to the next UEFA Cup round, but it doesn’t mean we should be counting on it. It’s not the most difficult of deficits to overturn (nothing like the 8-1 win from the first qualifier, for example). But it’s [...]

First and Last and Always

By: Abby | Comments 4 Comments

VfL Wolfsburg had their third successive 2-2 draw (that’s kind of weird, isn’t it?) with Hertha on Saturday, scoring in the first and the last minute to gain a point and dash our hopes.
By all accounts it was an open, entertaining game, both teams wanting to attack and win. I can only speak from [...]

They’re Fighting Over Who? / Wolfsburg Preview

By: Abby | Comments 3 Comments

As some of you might know, I also co-write Arsenal Offside, where I seem to be constantly posting philosophical-ish rants that annoy people. (Sorry? It’s sort of interesting, what differing teams bring out of me, blog-wise.) Mostly, the two sides of my blogging life don’t meet, despite Lulu Favre’s stated ambition to be Arsene Wenger. [...]

Oh Hey. What’s Gojko Kacar Been Up To?

By: Abby | Comments No Comments

Scoring goals, that’s what.
The Serbian U-21 had their final game in the qualifying stages of the UEFA U-21 championships on Sunday, needing a win to advance to the play-offs for the final in Sweden. (This seems needlessly complicated to me, but I’m not a UEFA official.) Their opponents were Hungary, who they’d lost to in [...]

So Many Things Are Happening

By: Abby | Comments 6 Comments

That it’s almost hard to keep up. You wait for news, and then, it appears…
First off- Hertha beat NK Interblock Ljubljana 1-0 in Berlin, to secure what was already mostly decided. We’re in the UEFA Cup proper now! The downside: Armine Chermiti may be out for three months after coming off early with a [...]
