False Glimmers
By: Abby | November 2nd, 2009You know what would have been nice? A terrible, clogging draw, the kind of uninspired awfulness that gives the football haters of America all the proof they need that this is a horrible sport. One with no good chances, fouls, and nothing interesting to talk about.
Ahhh.
Instead, the vague hope of a turnaround that I felt after the Wolfsburg game disappeared again, as Hertha fell to an uninspired 2-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund. Neither team were particularly great, but Dortmund were less terrible and eventually came away with the win after a 60th-minute penalty and an injury-time goal.
So, er, basically everything sucks. As a blogger, it’s hard to look at the team and the results and say more than that. It also doesn’t help that the club and Lucien Favre are set for a legal battle, making me even more depressed at the situation.
One could say that there’s nowhere to go but up, but in football there’s always a down.
Anyway.
Hertha are allegedly now looking for investors to prop up the squad in the winter transfer window. The collateral? The one Hertha player with a market value, young Serb Gojko Kacar.
I guess that’s where we are now.
Thursday we play against Heerenveen again, who have actually won a game since beating us before. I’ll have a preview up when we get closer. And knowing me, somehow I’ll be hopeful again.

I hope Cicero gets re-integrated into the squad since he is one of our best talents. I could well see him playing left back, with Pisczek on the right, since those two positions were an unmitigated catastrophe versus Dortmund. I also hope Funkel uses the Heerenveen match to test out some bench players and maybe amateurs. In any case, no way should he field Drobny, Kacar, Raffael.
