Post Match Reaction: Dortmund Complete the Comeback in Hoffenheim
Borussia Dortmund did it the hard way today in only their second match of the season. Away to Hoffenheim, the Black and Yellows went two goals behind, leaving it all to do with thirty minutes to play. Waldemar Anton took charge, sporting the captain’s armband, blasting through the Hoffenheim defense at a lax moment to […]
MOTM (Not a) Poll: Dortmund’s Win in Hoffenheim was Never in Doubt
Plucky underdogs, Borussia Dortmund, found themselves 2-0 down to billionaire-backed Hoffenheim in the 60th minute. Most people were thinking “man, Dortmund are absolute garbage and all the players are talentless hacks”. But not us Dortmund fans. We knew Hoffenheim would gift a turnover and an own goal in the final thirty minutes. Here at Fear […]

Match Preview: Dortmund Head to Sinsheim for Matchday Two
After navigating the Summer Transfer Window, only one thing remains on Borussia Dortmund’s schedule; football! The team started the season with three points against Hamburg and advancing in the cup against HEBC. Now they face their first big test; Hoffeinheim. The Sinsheimers were one of the Bundesliga’s better teams last season after finishing just a […]
MOTM (Not a) Poll: Dortmund Absolutely Demolish HEBC Hamburg in the DFB Pokal 1st round
One of the things that I love the most about the DFB Pokal is that seemingly random teams can get a try at standing their ground against some of Germany’s absolute top teams. This was the exact task for 5th tier HEBC Hamburg tonight, as they visited the Westfalenstadion with their heads full of dreams. […]
Post-Match Reactions: Dortmund Begin Pokal Campaign with 5-0 Win
As the footballing world, including Ole Book and Lars Ricken, turned their attention to Deadline Day, Borussia Dortmund began their DFB Pokal campaign against 5th tier Hamburg-Eimsbütteler Ballspiel-Club. Kovac’s side entered this match needing a shot of optimism after Giannis Konstantelias’s injury to start the season. Fortunately, no cupset followed and Dortmund routed HEBC 5-0 […]

BVB Identify Candidates to Replace Giannis Konstantelias
The injury to Giannis Konstantelias has hit the BVB fanbase hard. Really hard. I spent much of the day yesterday in an emotional funk, fluctuating between devastation, anger at the universe, and just a general sense of emptiness. Ole Book, however, has no time for “emotions”, whatever those are. He has gotten right back to […]
Giannis Konstantelias Suffers ACL Tear; BVB Eyeing Ethan Nwaneri as Replacement
When Giannis Konstantelias went down without contact against Hamburg, clutching his knee, many of us feared the worst. Now, the young Greek talent has undergone an MRI, and the results have been confirmed: he has suffered an ACL-tear. While healing times can vary, we will be lucky to see him take to the pitch again […]
Post-Match Reactions: 2-0 Win Overshadowed by Injury to Konstantelias
The good feelings lasted about 53 minutes. In that far-too-brief period of time, we got to see a glimpse of what the 2026-27 Borussia Dortmund squad could do, even without Joey Veerman or Nico Schlotterbeck. But with Konstantinos Karetsas and Giannis Konstantelias, the two signings designed more than anything to reinvigorate the club as a […]
MOTM (Not a) Poll: BVB Victorious to Kick Off Bundesliga Season
It’s good to be back. BVB opened their account for the 2026/27 season with a relatively comfortable three points against Hamburg, thanks to goals from Serhou Guirassy and Giannis Konstantelias. Dortmund looked excellent in the first half and were good value for their 2-0 lead going in at the break, but they took their foot […]

Post-Supercup Reactions: Sloppy, With Hints of Promise
Borussia Dortmund’s first “competitive” match of the season ended in defeat, with Die Schwarzgelben falling by the score of 2-1 to Bayern Munich at home in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup. It was a close-fought battle and Dortmund were one reasonably competent finish from Maxi Beier away from sending the game to penalties, but the Bavarians […]
Man of the Match: Newcomers Shine While BVB Fall 2-1 to Bayern
While starting out the season with a trophy would have been nice, what I was really looking for out of Borussia Dortmund’s Supercup performance today was any reason to be excited about the upcoming season.

Match Preview: Dortmund Open the Season Against Bayern in the Supercup
The long offseason is coming to a close, and it’s time for us to get a taste of what kind of mettle this new, reinvigorated Borussia Dortmund is made of. In one final tuneup before the season starts, Dortmund will have a chance to kick off the 2026-27 campaign with a win against a rival […]
I’m Ready to be Hurt Again
It may feel like it’s been an eternity, but it’s been barely two years since Borussia Dortmund took to the pitch against Real Madrid in a Champions League final. On that day, even though our beloved black-and-yellows ultimately fell one step short, the future undoubtedly felt bright. Unfortunately, the following two seasons felt like two […]

The transfer rumors are flying fast and loose as the clock ticks down to the beginning of the new season. The biggest news stories, of course, are the new signings Giannis Konstantelias and Joey Veerman, which were both completed earlier this week: Silva on his way out?

Sunday Morning Double-Whammy: BVB Set to Sign Joey Veerman and Giannis Konstantelias
What a surprise to wake up to! 48 hours ago, Borussia Dortmund’s final offer for Said El Mala was firmly rejected by FC Köln. Florian Plettenberg reported that BVB were already hard at work looking for backup signings, and expected action soon. I certainly didn’t expect Ole Book to work this quickly! Early this morning, […]
