Heja BVB
Here at Fear The Wall, we have four writers assigned to cover the Daily Bee and it often boils down to us fighting over scraps of news to talk about. If Adeyemi is linked with an exit on Tuesday night, I’m scooping that up for my Wednesday Daily Bee and leaving Sean or Paul with […]
We’ve got a huge game to look forward to this evening, with two heavyweights locking horns in a potentially season-defining matchup. I’m sure we are all salivating at the prospect of Southampton vs Ipswich Town, which has just kicked off moments ago. It is an absolutely massive game between two of the Championship’s best teams, […]
After two of team’s worst performances all season and watching Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga last week, Borussia Dortmund responded with some of the best soccer they have played in months. Sunday’s 4-0 route over Freiburg was expected considering the away side’s packed schedule but Dortmund looked dominant as they earned Champions League football next […]
Happy Monday, Fear the Wall. With today’s victory, BVB mathematically secured a place on the team list for next season’s Champions League. Let me be the first to say, “woo hoo”. That being the case, hopefully we can look forward to seeing more youth integration at BVB before the season is up. Samuele Inacio got […]
If Borussia Dortmund could face an opponent that played 120 minutes during the midweek every weekend, then being a fan would be a lot more fun. A few days after bitterly falling out of the DFB Pokal against VfB Stuttgart, Freiburg lumbered into the Westfalenstadion and got ruthlessly steamrolled by a much fresher Dortmund side. […]

Remember months ago when Dortmund lost to Bayern Munich and we all thought “I guess Dortmund will be second place in the Bundesliga once again”? Unfortunately for Borussia Dortmund, the ‘first place loser’s medal’ is now hotly contested. After RB Leipzig’s win against Union Berlin on Saturday, Dortmund enter Sunday’s game against Freiburg with only […]
We’re running a little late on this one, but there’s still plenty of the weekend left to enjoy some Bundesliga football. RB Leipzig tore Union Berlin apart tonight, coming away with a 3-1 win that definitely flattered Union. I will be at Wembley Stadium watching Southampton book their place in the FA Cup Final tomorrow, […]
For the last few weeks, I’ve been using the Daily Bee to cover the BVB-Frauen promotion fight as they thunder into the stretch against Köln II. Unfortunately, it looks like the promotion effort is in big trouble. After a 1-1 draw against Arminia Bielefeld last weekend, they sit 5 points behind Köln II with only […]
We really are scraping the barrel today. There just isn’t much news. Bayern Munich confirmed their place in the DFB-Pokal final last night, beating Bayer Leverkusen 2-0. They will face the winner of VfB Stuttgart vs Freiburg, which takes place this evening. Anyway, please enjoy the news scraps I found. BVB News Bundesliga News Your […]
The Bundesliga has reached an all too familiar stage once again; Bayern Munich are Champions and the rest of the league are fighting for the scraps. Borussia Dortmund, much like Arsenal, will have to be satisfied with second place as they look to wrap up the final four games of the season. The bad news […]
Good morning, Fear the Wall. Another year, and other set of goals scored against BVB by none other than Andrej Kramarić. Some teams have bogey opponents (see Bayern-Gladbach, Dortmund-Stuttgart, Arsenal-League Title), but BVB seem to have a single bogey player in Andrej Kramaric. I cannot even be mad about it at this point, the guy […]
BVB have lost two league matches in a row for the first time this season, dropping all three points to Hoffenheim. The Sinsheim club were awarded two important penalties from handball incidents that ultimately allowed them to triumph 2-1 over BVB. You can’t talk about this match without addressing the handballs. The handball rules in […]

Another weekend of Bundesliga action. There’s only a few of these left before the end of the season, and there’s not much left to play for across the league. The title race is all but officially over, while the relegation battle is not done and dusted but is not far off. Still, we must go […]
For those of you who are train enthusiasts, I’m sure you’d agree with me when I say that NJ Transit is the envy of the world when it comes to commuter rail. Just look at it: What would you spend to ride this modern-day Orient Express? $10? $20? How about more than $100? If there’s […]
I’m going to try to keep today’s Daily Bee pretty short. I have spent all week working late (data science waits for no one) and I want to cook dinner with a delicious frothy tinny. I have this Cloudwater 11th Birthday QIPA in the fridge, which will be thick like a hoppy grapefruit milkshake. I […]
The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals kicks off in about 90 minutes. Atletico Madrid will look to defend their 2-0 first leg lead over Barcelona, while Liverpool also face a two-goal hill they will have to climb if they are to beat Paris Saint-Germain and make it to the final four. Unfortunately both […]
Good morning, Fear the Wall. Well, BVB have finally lost to a Bundesliga team other than Bayern Munich. Not a huge shock that it should be Bayer Leverkusen. Though their position in the league table may suggest otherwise, they’re still the second best team in the league (other than perhaps Borussia Dortmund). Dortmund in fairness […]

After separating themselves from the pack even further last week in Stuttgart (in what felt like somewhat of a mini-derby), Dortmund are returning home with fewer worries every other week. They have fully set up shop in second place, 11 points clear of the next best Leipzig, and 14 points removed from a Europa League […]
After months of back-and-forth negotiations, Borussia Dortmund and Nico Schlotterbeck have agreed to terms on a new contract for the star center-back that will last until 2031. According to Kicker, the contract includes a raise to €14 million per year and a release clause between €50-60 million. The club announced the signing earlier today: Unfortunately, […]
We’ve reached that stage in the season where there’s nothing much to play for on the pitch but we’re not yet close enough to the end of the season to really start talking seriously about the transfer window. As a result, there’s not a lot of serious news out there, besides a lot of vague […]
Good morning, Fear the Wall. Second place is looking good for BVB after a 2-0 victory in Stuttgart this past Saturday. It was a match with few chances, but when BVB had the good ones, they did not fool around like you might expect. Niko Kovac was pleased with his side’s reaction, but noted they […]
Well, that was unexpected. After 90 minutes of fairly underwhelming football from Borussia Dortmund, two late strikes from substitutes Karim Adeyemi and Julian Brandt gave BVB first win over Stuttgart since October of 2022. Yea, let that sink in. BVB needed a win today to prevent Stuttgart closing the gap to second place. Dortmund are […]
