Three in a Row

The thing about Werder Bremen is that, even now, you don’t know which Werder Bremen will show up. Will it be the one that beat Arminia Bielefeld 8-1, or the one that lost to Duisburg? Majestic or tragic? Thrilling or mundane? You never know, with Bremen.
After they scored inside of the first minute- Fritz [...]

Not Quite as Planned, But Better Than Bayern

Why do we keep dropping points to Cottbus? Do we think the name Energie is cool? (It kind of is, I must admit.) Because we don’t have much of anything that can be called a derby, so we must do our best to keep the one we have in the Bundesliga? Because Chancellor Merkel makes [...]

That just about sums up Sunday’s game against Schalke 04. Not bad. Not good enough, but not bad. Considering that Schalke are definitely a decent team and we played well enough against them, we can hold our heads up despite the loss.
Still, though, I’m not sure how we managed to lose this game. (Well, I [...]

I’m back home from Anaheim, having had my fill of sun (I am a very pale person- I managed to get a sunburn sitting on a patio having lunch), and now I’m back home with the rain. And back to Hertha.
Making A Not-So-Interesting Game Way More Entertaining

Earlier today (or tonight, depending on in what time zone you’re in- for me this was all happening around noon), the Hertha boys were off in Dortmund to play the men in those nice bumblebee outfits. And the good run of form continued- we picked up a point at the Signal-Iduna Park in a 1-1 [...]
The Early Season High Is Awesome

That’s really what I have to say about that. After losing to Frankfurt in the opening day of the second half, we’ve bounced back with assured performances both home and away. Duisburg was the most recent victim of this trend- a 2-0 victory where the only criticism was that we didn’t make it a greater [...]
Where Did the Week Go?
By: Abby | No Comments
Somehow, last week disappeared. I’m not sure how. But suddenly I looked up and I was watching the Oscars while drinking pink champagne (no, really). And the week had gone by and I hadn’t written about any of the things I wanted to write about.
Including a preview of the Wolfsburg game. I would have said [...]
Better To Read For One Minute

than watch for 90. At least, that’s what I understand from friends and match reports, having not watched it. The game was petering out to a 0-0 draw when Raffael made the most of a poor clearance from former Hertha player Thorben Marx after a throw-in and fired into the net. It was, quite literally, [...]

I concluded Friday’s nostalgic and slightly emotional post by concluding that it was unlikely for history to repeat itself. Our away record is atrocious and Stuttgart were starting to pull themselves together before the break, despite losing to Schalke right after it. I was already thinking towards Bielefeld.
I was wrong.

Unfortunately, it was Martin Fenin of Eintract Frankfurt. The 20-year-old Czech got a hat-trick at the Olympiastadion in a 3-0 victory over the capitol city side, wowing onlookers and winning new fans.
So not exactly the start we were looking for.
