Robert Enke, Rest in Peace

November 10, 2009: The Bundesliga and the Nationalmannschaft lost an extremely talented player. His family and friends have suffered a great loss. My thoughts are with them.

Hunt, Frings, and Hoffenheim

By: Jamie | Comments 3 Comments

Aaron Hunt has been garnering international attention lately amidst rumors that England U21 coach Stuart Pearce has been keeping an eye on him and reporting his progress to Fabio Capello. Raf Honigstein at the Guardian even devoted his weekly Bundesliga write-up to the debate. There is of course mention of Hunt’s former (some alleged) bad [...]

Top Of The League… for two hours, anyway!

By: Jamie | Comments No Comments

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 | Comments 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 [...]

Any excuse to party…

By: Jamie | Comments No Comments

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 | Comments 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 | Comments 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 | Comments 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 [...]

Werder, meet Defense. Defense, meet Werder Bremen.

By: Jamie | Comments No Comments

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?

By: Jamie | Comments 2 Comments

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 [...]
