Sends chills down your spine, doesn’t it?
While it’s still unnaturally summery here in Seattle, it’s time for some actually competitive games in Germany. The first round of the DFB-Pokal starts this weekend – in fact, several games have already taken place – and Hertha are up against SC Preußen Münster, of the Regionaliga West. They [...]
Why I Love Lucien Favre

Let’s face it- I’m a hopeless fangirl when it comes to our coach. You know it, I know it, it’s all over the damn blog. There’s something about his method and style that gels perfectly with what I want the coach of my football club to be like.
The most recent example of this: he’s having [...]

A friendly against FC Lübars, who you may remember from when we adopted their women’s team as our own, ended in a 23-0 victory for the Herthaners. That’s correct, 23 goals.
It’s always hard to know how to report on wins like this. On the one hand, goals are awesome, especially goals for Hertha. On the [...]

So, after a bit of the standard transfer hemming and hawing, we’ve got our man. 21-year-old Nemanja Pejcinovic, billed as the ‘new Josip Simunic’ by some in the press, has joined Hertha after impressing Lulu in a week-long trial. While at one point it seemed like the deal wouldn’t go through, something was worked out [...]
Pick Your Shirt

The third shirt is, well, kind of pointless. I’m pretty sure it’s entire purpose is to part fans from their money. When was the last time you saw your club in one?
Their lack of usefulness makes them, quite frankly, rather uninteresting. Which might be why Hertha is trying to raise its profile by letting the [...]

Jan put it best when he called our transfer targets those that “cost nothing and earn less”. It’s not an easy job that Michael Preetz got for himself, finding and signing players for Hertha.
So, what are we looking at, according to the papers?
We had young Serbian Nemanja Pecjinovic on trial, where he apparently impressed Lulu. [...]

That’s what Hertha has right now.
A 2-0 friendly win against Ferencvaros of Budapest (just a bit over the border from the Austrian training camp) was more notable for the trouble at it than the game itself. Goals from Cicero and Gojko Kacar were overshadowed by the events away from the pitch. 3 Hertha fans were [...]
Vielleicht Hertha

So, where were we?
The Battle of Berlin ended in a 5-3 win for Hertha. A festive Alte Forestei was treated to two goals from Artur Wichniarek, and one each from Amine Chermiti, Raffael, and Valeri Domovchiyski. Also a laser show. And fireworks. (And three goals from their own team.)
Having not watched it (work gets in [...]
Image Is Everything

Like every other team, Hertha has a spate of friendlies lined up, to fine-tune the team before the season gets underway. Among the 8th-division teams and other assorted opponents scheduled, there are two that, to me, stand out.
The first is right upon us- this Wednesday, in fact. It’s the opening game of the revamped stadium [...]

A new striker before Austria (on the 10th of July)? How about a new striker today?
Well, not so much a new striker. A returning striker. Artur Wichniarek has come back, signing a two-year deal. At Armenia Bielefeld he was known as King Artur and was their main line of offense, scoring the goals that kept [...]
