It took some time, but Joachim Löw finally saw reason and started Arne Friedrich in the game against Austria. And, for those who haven’t been paying attention, Germany’s defense looked a lot less shaky with Arne at the back instead of Marcell Jansen (I know it’s not a straight swap, as it involves Philipp Lahm [...]
Like Our Very Own Eurovision

Everything is in Euro preparation mode here at the Hertha BSC Berlin Offside. In fact, that’s about all there is to talk about. That, and this video from our Croatia blog over at World Cup Blog:
Josip Simunic, proving that he’s just as good of at singing as he is at being calm and collected.

The season isn’t even over yet, and already Hertha have signed two players. And that’s not even counting Marc Stein, who’s been committed to us since January.
Today brings the news of Maximilian Nicu, signed from SV Wehen Wiesbaden in the 2. Bundesliga. He’s a German attacking midfielder, 25 years old, and has scored 6 [...]

And yes, every football fan knows that. Contracts are constantly broken in football and if they’re not (and the player leaves on a free transfer) the club is doing something wrong. But even so, this one is a bit surprising.

Hertha won their first of the new year’s friendlies on Saturday (previous entries: a 0-1 loss to Grasshoppers Zurich, a loss on penalties to Rapid Vienna after a 2-2 draw, and a 0-0 draw to TUS Koblenz), beating Kaiserslauten 1-0 at their Fritz Walter stadium.
Offiziel!

I actually have something legitimate to post! Huzzah!
The newest Herthaner, officially announced, is 20-year-old Serbian midfielder Gojko Kacar, which is only a bit easier to spell than Ljobomir Fejsa (news on Fejsa: FIFA declared his contract is owned by Hadjuk Kula, not FC Metz, which means we have to keep dealing with the president who’s [...]
For Reals?

It’s being reported that Tottenham Hotspur are going to purchase Gilberto. As in, now. For £2.5 million. 3.4 million in Euros. As opposed to at the end of the season. When he’d be free.
I’m really hoping this isn’t a joke and they really want to do this. I’m almost afraid to write about it in [...]
