A Visit From Some Friends

By: Abby | Comments 2 Comments

Karlsruher SC, our friends from Baden, come up for a visit on Saturday. When we went over to their place earlier in the season we left the points with them. This week, I hope that they return the favor.
Despite falling off a bit lately, KSC have been the surprise of this season. Freshly promoted [...]

Oh, Right, Cottbus

By: Abby | Comments No Comments

Tomorrow, Hertha head a bit south to the Stadion der Freundschaft to take on Energie Cottbus, who are as of writing officially the bottom team in the Bundesliga. They’re two points behind Bielefeld and Duisburg, 16th and 15th respectively on 22 points, and are fighting for their Bundesliga lives after being promoted two season ago. [...]

We Need A Pretty Goalkeeper: Schalke 04 Preview!

By: Abby | Comments 2 Comments

The next visitors to the Olympiastadion, challenging our six-game unbeaten streak, are Schalke 04. Currently ranked fifth in the table, the only German side in the Champions League quarterfinals, and in a good run of form themselves, they’ll be a stern test. They’re in good form, they have a lot to play for, and they [...]

Not Really Here

By: Abby | Comments 2 Comments

I’m not really here. I’m actually at a trade show, in a hotel room, resting from spending all day on my feet doing my job. But, it’s almost the weekend and things happen on weekends.
So, a quick little roundup/preview of everything…
Tomorrow Hertha are off to Hansa Rostock. Not too far from us, up north. Lulu [...]

Oh, Come On

By: Abby | Comments 7 Comments

The Friday Bundesliga game this week is Hertha v. MSV Duisburg. Normally, when a Bundesliga game is played on Friday, that means that GolTV shows it. Because there aren’t any other games being played on Friday. It’s just the Bundesliga. They have the monopoly on Friday. So I was looking forwards to being able to [...]

Whatever the Case, Arminia Bielefeld Exists

By: Abby | Comments 7 Comments

My very favorite random discovery relating to German geography on Wikipedia is the entry for the “Bielefeld Conspiracy.” Basically, it’s a German internet meme which states that the city of Bielefeld does not exist, that it’s a hoax perpetuated by shadowy figures. The way the theory is proved is in three questions: Do you know [...]

Die Kings vom Gottlieb-Daimler Stadion

By: Abby | Comments 3 Comments

If this was game was against anything but Stuttgart tomorrow, I’d consider coming home this late an excuse to be a bad blogger and not write this match preview. I’m tired and wet. But this is Hertha versus Stuttgart and that holds a place in my heart.

Bavaria Approaches. For Real This Time.

By: Abby | Comments 2 Comments

Okay, so talking about Bavaria last time didn’t much help. Clearly, the Franconians were upset that I’d called them Bavarian, and showed it by taking it out on Hertha. This time, though, the opponents are actually Bavarian. It’s in their name. Also, they go to Oktoberfest in lederhosen.

Bavaria Part One

By: Abby | Comments 9 Comments

It’s double-Bavarian in the two games before the winter break, with a visit to Nürnberg tomorrow before a visit from Bayern Munich next week. It’s a challenging way to close out the first half of the season, although not at all hopeless.
