I was prepared to sit and enjoy the match – really, I was. I’m sure it’s frustrating to come here and see me continually saying “I wasn’t able to watch the match,” but it happened once again. I could not find a stream to watch Werder, so for the second Europa League matchday in a [...]
A Tale of Two Werders

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 [...]

Here we go again, a video of highlights and an interview with Thomas Schaaf (really wish I could understand what he was saying about Hunt’s goal). Edit: I had to reupload this, so the Schaaf interview may be gone.
Upon rewatching, I can see that it wasn’t luck that made the ball fall for Hunt to [...]

The Green-Whites move to the top of Group L with a great win over their La Liga opponents. I felt a bit inspired at half-time, put together my thoughts, then continued writing as the second half progressed. So bear with me; here’s my as-the-match-happens blog:

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
