My mother once told me, when I was new to following football and indeed any sport, that your team will always break your heart. They will always lose. Your favorite player will always get sold, traded, or disappoint you some other way. The management will always do something to anger you. Your moments of happiness [...]

One in a Million

One of the first times (and still one of the few) I read something in-depth about Hertha Berlin was in Simon Kuper’s Football Against the Enemy. There’s a chapter in there about a Hertha fan from East Berlin and his troubles with the Stasi, all relating to football. Like the rest of the book, it’s [...]

First off: everyone’s got to go and read the conversation in the last post. Some great insight into the situation currently at Hertha. (I pretty much agree with Jan, for what it’s worth.)
A tough stretch awaits Hertha BSC Berlin, a stretch that would be tough even if we weren’t in the position we find ourselves [...]

God, I hope so.
There’s nothing that can be said about that Freiburg game that doesn’t make me want to cry. It was an awful, awful game to watch as a Hertha fan, featuring a home team that looked as hopeless, hapless, and generally awful as I’ve ever seen.

You don’t have to read German to know that things are a bit dire in the Hertha camp.
Five games played; four lost. Seventeenth place. Most recently in Mainz, where a 1-0 lead in the 80th minute (thanks to Maxi Nicu) turned into a 2-1 loss. Confidence is low. And, really, that’s the crucial thing.
Work caused [...]

I asked them to return to Hertha in one piece, but do they ever listen to me? No.
The news out of the Hertha camp is that two of our major players were causalities of this week’s internationals, the two that no Hertha fan wants to see on the sidelines: Arne Friedrich and Gojko Kacar.
Arne [...]

It’s an international break, and from a Hertha perspective, it’s pretty damn boring. Some of the team is gone, and those that aren’t don’t have much to do. They had a friendly against 9th-division side Altenberge, where they scored 10 goals (Artur Wichniarek knocked up a hat-trick, 19-year-old Tim Scheffler did as well, new signing [...]
Tell Us Something We Don’t Know, Milan Kacar
By: Abby | 2 Comments
According to some quotes in Sport Bild, helpfully translated by goal.com, Gojko Kacar’s uncle-agent Milan says that “this could be his last year at Hertha” because Gojko wants to play for a title-winning team.
Tell us something we don’t know, Milan Kacar.
I love Gojko Kacar very much- he’s a wonderful player, a fantastic find, and he’s [...]
