2013 Preseason
Matches

Trier 1 - 4 St. Pauli
It was a comedy of errors for Trier, as their goalkeeper scored 2 own goals in the first 20 minutes, and St. Pauli dominated the match.
Player of the Match: Fin Bartels (St. Pauli)

St. Pauli 3 - 1 Viktoria Pizen
Loanee Michael Gregoritsch was the star of the show, equalizing after Viktoria Pizen's early score, and intercepting a throw in deep in Viktoria Pizen territory for most of the match. Viktoria Pizen played a man down most of the match due to a vicious foul in the first half.
Player of the Match: Michael Gregoritsch (St. Pauli)

Sprimont 1 - 8 St. Pauli
Yeah, Sprimont landed the first punch, but if this was a MMA match it would have ended early due to TKO. This was simply a fitness run due to the low skill of the opposition and a confidence booster, and the team should lift its spirits up with 8 goals.
Player of the Match: John Verhoek (St. Pauli)
July 13, 2013
Saarbrucken 1 - 2 St. Pauli
Sabrina really needs to fire the assistant manager if this is how he's going to schedule the friendlies. It was a closer game than it appeared to be after St. Pauli took a 2-0 lead after 12 minutes.
Player of the Match: Soeren Gonther (St. Pauli)
July 15, 2013
Fortuna Sittard 0 - 0 St. Pauli
The lone blemish on St. Pauli's preseason record, both teams defended well and kept the other team from capitalizing on scoring chances.
Player of the Match: Robin Himmelmann (St. Pauli)
Manager's Comments
"I thought there were plenty of good things on display this season, the team scored plenty of goals, displayed the ability to fight back after going down early, and I think we have enough talent to make some waves."
Transfers
Since we already have a large club, only a couple of transfers were necessary.
In
On loan from Wolfsburg until the end of the season, he will help out at center back.
Picked up on a free transfer, this former Championship player will be a good defensive presence for us in the center midfield.
The club still feels they're short of a center attacking mid and are still on the lookout for one.
Replies
Bayern: It was only intended to be a teaser, the game has changed a lot since the initial beta build and I wanted to do something else.
Everyone else: This is abolutely NOT a Seni story. I'd like to think we're all more mature than that. Arvind is right, there won't be any steamy pics.
