Berlin Olympic Stadium - foto from Wikipedia by Chrisgj6
“Hertha needs to start filling its stadium – the Olympic Stadium of Berlin” is what I wrote some months ago, however the picture you see above of a wonderful stadium is empty and will remain so at least to now 2nd division German team Hertha Berlin.
Fortuna Düsseldorf secured their place in the First Bundesliga and thereby consigned Hertha Berlin to the 2nd tier for the next 2012/2013 season after tying Hertha at home 2-2.
Düsseldorf won 2-1 in Berlin in the first leg last week and this evening Fortuna managed a 2-2 draw at home return to the German first division since the 1996-97 season.
Fortuna had finished third in the 2nd division and won the right to play Hertha who ended their season 3rd from the bottom.
This 2nd leg game saw 9 yellow cards and one sending off for Hertha and ended in confusion in the closing minutes as Fortuna fans stormed onto the field while there were 2 minutes of injury time remaining.
Ranisav Jovanovic scored Fortuna2nd goal in the 59th minute, after Maximilian Beister’s had struck ominously for Hertha in the 27th second!
Anis Ben-Hatira, put Hertha back into the game in the first half which finished 1-1 but he was later sent off while Raffael equalised for Hertha with just 5 minutes left to play and Hertha needing just one goal more – but it was not to be.
Hertha will now return to the 2nd division after just one season again in the Bundesliga and everyone in Berlin genuinely hopes that the losers who are presently in charge of the team are all thrown out and kicked out and never return.
It was they, who because of having changed managers three times in mid-season, must take full responsibility for the complete chaos on the field.

So it was going to be either Hertha BSC Berlin or FC Köln which survived yesterdays – both mainstays of the German Bundesliga for the past ½ century – and the one to definitively drop-out became Koln.
On the 34th Bundesliga match-day Hertha needed to win at home to Hoffenheim and they had to hope that Koln would get a good thrashing at home to Bayern München. Nothing else would do – no combination of goal-difference or ties or any [...] Continue Reading…

The Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski has said that a boycott of the Euro 2012 football championships – which start in Warsaw in a months’ time – would be counter-productive and are ill-advised. He said the so-called reasons being giving by various people are spurious, inappropriate and do not correspond to the real situation in the Ukraine.
Ukraine is co-hosting the June 8-July 1 European Championships together with neighbouring Poland.
The EU has said that they consider Tymoshenko’s jailing last October as [...] Continue Reading…

Украина, как принимающая страна ЕВРО 2012 привлекает огромное количество внимания прессы и болельщиков не только как страна где можно отдохнуть и посмотреть футбол, но как интересная и сильная команда.
Украинская сборная является молодой и динамично развивающейся командой, которая может добиться больших успехов на чемпионате по футболу даже в, так называемой, «смертельной группе». Сама группа состоит из чемпионов и достойных соперников: Франция, Швеция, Англия и Украина. Многие считают, что такая лотерея не может пойти на руку хозяевам поля, но [...] Continue Reading…
