Catching My Breath, Finally

Between the Euros and visiting relatives, there wasn’t much time for blogging, sadly. And how I missed it! While things have been quiet, thanks to the tournament (yay for Arne being entirely awesome, especially against Portugal), my little break means that the news has piled up.
First up, today’s news. The draw for the first UEFA [...]

Only an Election
By: Abby | 3 Comments
Sorry for the lapse in posting, but I’ve been focused on a major European competition. No, not the Euros (that’s later), but something just as competitive- the Eurovision Song Contest. Russia won, for those keeping track, and also had the tiniest ice rink I’ve ever seen. For those who don’t know me very well, I [...]
This Will Never, Ever Get Old
By: Abby | 7 Comments
Hertha have signed Kaká.
Granted, this Kaká is a defender. And he’s coming to us from Portugal, not Milan. (He’s still Brazilian, though.) Also, I’d never heard of him until last week. But still. Kaká! This will never stop entertaining me.
Anyway. Claudiano Bezerra da Silva is a 26-year-old from São José do Belmonte. He’s 26 years [...]

Apologies for lack of posting in a week where actual things were going on, but I’ve been having a birthday and therefore without time to write up posts.
But in my absence, Hertha’s done surprisingly well for themselves. Three wins in a row as of today, and as I type we’re in ninth. One of those [...]
A Whirlwind of Absolutely Nothing
By: Abby | 11 Comments
I’ve been busy at work, so I haven’t had much time for updating here.
Fortunately, Hertha has helped me out by having absolutely nothing happen.
Seriously. Nothing. The Hertha newsletter has had a full issue on the DFB-Pokal final (held in Hertha’s lovely home ground) and has offered congratulations to the Berlin hockey team. The lead story [...]
Category: Team NewsThe Pantelic Question
By: Abby | 6 Comments
The big debate among Hertha parts (well, there’s something about a club election, but that’s not as tabloid-friendly and also I haven’t been planning a post on it for a while) is the issue of whether Marko Pantelic and Lulu Favre get along or not. Which is something to think about, to be sure, as [...]
Is This Next Season’s Shirt?
By: Abby | 2 Comments
From Football Shirts News comes this picture of what may be next season’s Hertha shirt. We’ve had stripy shirts on and off before and these aren’t bad, although I really like the shirts we have now. They’re unique. Lots of teams have stripes.
But as stripes go, these aren’t bad, and I do like the bit [...]
Could Be Worse
By: Abby | No Comments
Lucien Favre went to Frankfurt today to appeal, and it could have been worse. While he still has to pay a fine- up €5,000 from the first fine, to €20,000- he will be on the bench for the upcoming game against Schalke. It’s always better for the manager to actually be around to do important [...]

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.
Comings and Goings
By: Abby | 4 Comments
While I’ve been working and forgetting to blog (which I do apologize for), things have been happening. Players are staying, players are wanting to go, players are discussing their futures, players are being watched…a flurry of activity, or something.
Official things first. Berlin-born defender Malik Fathi has extended his contract until 2009, in a deal that [...]
