We wrote this in the blog in May this year ………….”The above great foto taken of an empty Berlin Olympic Stadium – home of Hertha Berlin Football Club will probably look this empty next year because the team is now offically relegated down a league from the German top Bundesliga.”

The Netherlands and Germany played to a scoreless draw in yesterday evening’s international friendly at the sold-out Amsterdam Arena Stadium.
What could have been a very exciting match, instead became a match that neither team wanted to lose – it seemed more like an contractual obligation which was signed last year than a game to really measure footballing quality.
It was in some aspects [...] Continue Reading…

Swedes may be disappointed, embarrassed and even feel hatred towards the Swedish government over their complete and utter opportunism in the case regarding WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
However Swedes will have the complete opposite feelings for their national football team who surprised and delighted the whole nation!
It was to be Germany’s northern neighbour who took on Germany yesterday evening – Sweden vs Germany at Berlin [...] Continue Reading…

Hamburg got its very first season win and it was a glorious affair – for Hamburg fans in any case and they have not had much to cheer about recently.
Last week they put up a brave 2nd half with only ten men and nearly tied Eintracht Frankfurt but ended up losing.
The other Hamburg team Fußball-Club St. Pauli which was relegated to the [...] Continue Reading…
