Europa League Preview: Bremen vs. Athletic Bilbao

So, our defense starts to look relatively good for a change – and what happens? Practically our entire back line picks up injuries, of course! First, Fritz was subbed early in the match on Saturday, and Boenisch also emerged from the match complaining of a thigh injury. He’s still doubtful. Then, Per Mertesacker gives himself [...]
Weekend round-up

Thank you, Werder, for breaking this streak of 0-0 draws that you were threatening to continue. It took over half an hour, but the goals started flowing on Sunday against Mainz. 3-0 to the Green-Whites with two lads in fine form lately getting the goals: Hunt scored the opener and Pizarro bagged a brace.
And that’s [...]
Bundesliga Preview: Werder Bremen vs. Mainz
By: Jamie | No Comments
Mainz have done well on their return to the top flight – most impressively claiming the scalp of the “high and mighty” Bayern Munich. They currently sit in fifth place in the league, while Werder are hanging out in eighth. Time to step it up, Green-Whites; we need to win these kind of games in [...]
DFB-Pokal: Werder Squeak by St. Pauli
By: Jamie | 4 Comments
Well, typical Werder were back today – for better or worse, narrowly beating St. Pauli 2-1. But at least the Green-Whites came away with the win, considering how many HUGE upsets there were in the Pokal today! Hamburg, Wolfsburg, Leverkusen, Hertha? Wow.
Observations:
1. Did someone wake Torsten up in the middle of his nap to play [...]
Getting Repetitive: Werder Held 0-0 by Leverkusen
By: Jamie | 2 Comments
Oh Werder, Werder, Werder. Where have the goals gone? You have no problem scoring in Europe. But two 0-0 Bundesliga draws in a row? Sigh. I’m going to have to stop making predictions – this was not the goalfest I thought it would be!
My thoughts, in bullet points:
- Do we miss Özil that much?
- Marin [...]

Our last encounter with Leverkusen is a pleasant memory – it won us the DFB Cup. It wasn’t entirely unexpected – both teams were frustratingly inconsistent in the Bundesliga, but Bremen were on a high from great Pokal and Uefa Cup runs. But this time, Leverkusen are the ones on a high. They’ve started the [...]

Found this while scouring youtube this morning – an interview with Klaus Allofs post-match that includes the goals:
No clue what he’s saying, but I’m sure some of the readers speak German and will understand and appreciate.

By: Jamie | No Comments
Before this match, looking at the starting line-up, I remember thinking “Pizarro has been kind of quiet the last couple of matches”… so what a time to pop up with a brace, eh? We needed an 85th-minute Claudio goal to sneak by Nacional with a score of 2-3 and take three points.
I was only able [...]
Europa League Preview: Werder vs. Nacional
By: Jamie | 6 Comments
Tomorrow Werder head to Portugal to take on Nacional in their first match of the new Europa League campaign. Considering we were the runners-up last season, I think we head in to the match expected to win.
Nacional are currently 13th in the Portuguese Liga. They beat Zenit to reach the group stages of the [...]
Werder Held 0-0 by Hannover
By: Jamie | No Comments
I only managed to see the second half as I got my timing wrong, but I imagine the first half was much like the second – Werder moving forward but unable to get the ball in the net. I give all the credit to the Hannover goalkeeper, who was an absolute immovable fortress in goal [...]
