Sorry, Jan

Or, We Can’t Quite Quit Marko Pantelic.
An exciting Friday evening (or afternoon, if you’re me) game at the Olympiastadion ended in a 2-1 win for the Berliners. Fifth in a row at home now, and we’ve got the 30 points that esteemed Bundesliga Offside editor Jan predicted we’d have before the winter break, with [...]

The question mark with Brazilians (and South Americans in general) comes in the winter. Can someone used to mild winters and hot summers handle the chill of a German winter? And what about snow? How will he react to snow?
If you’re Cicero, it’s by scoring one goal and setting up another in a 3-2 away [...]

One of my favorite side effects about football is the way it improves my knowledge of geography. Following the Bundesliga, for example, has taught me much about where the cities in Germany are located, and often, what they are. (The flipside of this is that I still only have a vague concept of cities without [...]

But, there are going to be tomorrow. There are internationals tomorrow for some reason, and the most glamor-y of the glamor friendlies will be at our very own Olympiastadion. England v. Germany, a bitter rivalry, some of the biggest names in world football…well, the ones that aren’t injured (or “injured”), anyway. Which seems to be [...]

Then we’ll get a good result against Hamburg. In the previous 10 meetings, they haven’t won once. It’s one of our somewhat-inexplicable trends, along with beating Stuttgart and losing to Cottbus.
Last season, the result of Hamburg’s visit was a dull 0-0 draw. This is still a possibility. Neither HSV or ourselves have been hugely [...]

But Hoffenheim didn’t take any points from us.
The story of the Bundesliga- the attacking, free-flowing team from the tiny town- left Berlin with nothing. Love the story or hate it, they’ve proven their class on the pitch through the season and are, at the moment, a team to be taken seriously. So much so that [...]

I’ve been busy being overwhelmed by awesome, to the point where I can’t quite think about football. Also, I was doing a lot of celebratory drinking/partying.
But now that it’s all over, I can focus on things that aren’t all that important in the scheme of things, but very enjoyable to care about. (I like caring [...]
Down to Earth

In a quite spectacular way, but, as Dieter Hoeness so aptly put it, better one good thumping than several narrow defeats. And certainly, we’ve had a bit of luck through this quarter of a season. If one serious loss balances out those wins over Leverkusen and Stuttgart, I’m okay with it. (Especially since I’ve always [...]
