Match Preview: Dortmund Travel to Stuttgart Before the International Break
Borussia Dortmund are 5-for-5 across the opening stage of the season (here on Fear the Wall, we don’t count the Super Cup unless we win it!) and the team’s momentum is swelling after navigating an injury crisis. Have no fear! A three-week international window is right around the corner to break that momentum before Dortmund […]
Konstantinos Karetsas Returns to Training After Brief Hospitalization With Circulatory Issues
Borussia Dortmund fans can breathe a sigh of relief. After a very concerning incident in last week’s Champions League match against Villarreal, in which Konstantinos Karetsas was stretchered off the pitch and driven to a hospital with circulatory issues, the 18-year-old Greek talent has received the all-clear to resume training. After undergoing a thorough examination, […]
Post-Match Reactions: BVB Manage Comfortable but Pedestrian 3-0 Win Over Paderborn
Borussia Dortmund hosted SC Paderborn today, looking to continue the club’s perfect start to the Bundesliga season. Paderborn, fresh off promotion to the Bundesliga, were heavy underdogs, but fought very hard and made the game a nuisance. Although BVB opened the scoring early with a breakaway goal by Fabio Silva, Paderborn kept the match close […]
The MOTM Poll Returns! Silva, Guirassy, Nmecha guide BVB to 3-0 Win
Editor’s Note: At long last, the polling feature has returned! Thank you to Zac for working with SBN’s backend to get it set up. Borussia Dortmund’s Matchweek 3 in the Bundesliga is in the books! A 3-0 win that wasn’t really sealed until late in the match. Regardless, a win with a clean sheet. Also, […]

Match Preview: BVB and the SC Paderborn Tripping Hazard
Coming off back-to-back narrow 3-2 victories over Hoffenheim and Villarreal, two games which, quite frankly, had a bit of everything, Dortmund would surely welcome a more comfortable scoreline this weekend. Paderborn, who earned promotion after pulling the chair on Wolfsburg over two legs, have yet to beat Borussia Dortmund in a competitive setting and are […]
By the Book: Summarizing Dortmund’s Transfer Window
Following departure of Sorting Director, Sebastian Kehl, it was clear the Dortmund higher-ups were looking for the club to begin moving in a different direction. For almost four years, the club was led by Kehl, with notable accomplishments being UCL runners up (23/24), signings of Nico Schlotterbeck, Adeyemi, Nmecha and Guirassy, as well as Bundesliga […]
MOTM Poll: Guirassy and Silva Shine in Champions League Opener
Matchday 1 of the 2026/2027 Champions League is in the books! Dortmund made a 3-1 win into a very tense 3-2 squeaker, but a win is a win. The big loss today is Kostas Karetsas, who we all will be hoping is okay after his scary substitution. Here are today’s candidates for Man of the […]
Postmatch Reactions: Serhou Guirassy Lifts Dortmund over Villarreal
First and foremost it’s important to talk about Konstantinos Karetsas. The 18-year-old was taken off on a stretcher at the 27th minute and later went to the hospital due to ‘circulation issues’. Hopefully Karetsas is okay, getting any/all care he needs, and will be back playing when he’s healthy. I am not going to speculate […]

Match Preview: BVB Kick Off European Campaign Against Villareal
After an absolute nailbiter of a comeback in the weekend, Niko Kovac and his team will hope to make it a bit less exciting as they kick off this year’s Champions League campaign against the visitors from Villareal. Luckily for The Black and Yellows, they are seemingly visited by a very wounded animal. Villareal haven’t […]
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 […]
Comment Thread: Borussia Dortmund Face Hoffenheim Away

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 […]
Comment Thread: BVB Open DFB-Pokal Campaign vs. HEBC
When: 2:45 pm EST Where: Professor-Reinmüller-Platz, Hamburg, Germany How: See here for international broadcasts. I cannot find any for the U.S. or U.K. Here are the rules:

Match Preview: BVB Travel to Hamburg in Pokal Opener
German’s Cup competition is back (for Borussia Dortmund). A week late thanks to the Supercup, but not short of any potential excitement, BVB will once again look to raise what should be their most achievable trophy. The opponent, HEBC Hamburg, are a fifth division side. It will be an exciting event for them to host […]
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 […]
