Top Of The League… for two hours, anyway!

We actually turned the tables on our opponents Nuremberg today. Typically, it is expected of Werder to go ahead 2-0 and then give up the lead in the second half. This time, Nuremberg were off the mark with 2 goals in the first half. For someone merely following the live scores update, things seemed bleak [...]

Beware the Giant-Killers
By: Jamie | 7 Comments
Tonight, Stuttgart and Dortmund became the latest victims of a savage band of giant-killers that have been unleashed in the DFB-Pokal tournament. Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg, Hamburg and Hertha Berlin have been among the victims already.
Werder Bremen will be hosting Leverkusen’s slayers, Kaiserslautern, at the Weserstadion tomorrow. The second division side upset the 2009 Pokal [...]

By: Jamie | No Comments
First, can I say, of course – of COURSE – Marko Marin finally manages to grab the Bundesliga goal he has deserved for over a month – when I’m not able to watch! Oh, life.
Second, well done Werder, for being the only team in the top four to pull of a rather emphatic win. [...]
A Tale of Two Werders
By: Jamie | 1 Comment
The tradition that Werder seems to be keeping in Europe is to take a decent lead against the opponents, then give up a goal or two, but still manage to emerge with three points. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case today against Austria Wien. The Green-Whites took the lead through a first-half Pizarro brace and probably [...]
Any excuse to party…

Of course, there was a party on the pitch on Saturday:
Then, after dominating Hoffenheim, the Werder team headed to the Bremen Freimarkt folk festival for a bit of singing and presenting the new players to the crowd:

Is Tim Wiese He-Man?
By: Jamie | 1 Comment
…. you know, minus the whole shirtless, Speedo-wearing, sword-carrying, saving-the-universe thing. For some reason, his bouncing and dancing about before saving Eduardo’s penalty reminded me of He-Man. Well saved and well defended once again today, Green-Whites.
Holy crap, you guys! ANOTHER clean sheet! Have we shocked all the other Bundesliga fans yet?
Match Preview: Werder vs. Hoffenheim
By: Jamie | No Comments
Last season, this fixture ended in an epic 5-4 scoreline in favor of the Green-Whites. It was quite the Werderesque performance – knocking goals in for fun, leading Hoffenheim 4-1, then giving up three goals to give Hoffenheim the hope of emerging with a draw or perhaps stealing the win. Then our golden boy Özil [...]
Internationals, Injuries and Videos, Oh My
By: Jamie | No Comments
Ahhh Werder Bremen, I have not forgotten about you. I have been watching the internationals with the Green-White boys in mind. Özil continues to be one of the only bright spots in a rather lacklustre German squad. I was unhappy to see Marko was not featured in either match. I was pleased to see Moreno [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, Tim Wiese has kept the ball out of his net for 529 minutes. The match against Stuttgart represents the fourth Bundesliga clean sheet in a row for the Green-Whites – quite impressive for them. It’s not completely unheard of; the past two seasons they’ve managed three in a row. But considering Werder [...]
Scousers looking to Hunt?

Sorry, everyone, I’ve been so busy that I still haven’t had a chance to watch the match from this past weekend. But now that the international break is on, there’ll be plenty of time for a report and analysis before Werder are back to business.
Lately there have been rumblings about English Premier League side Liverpool [...]
