Happy Thanksgiving folks. I’m thankful for Chatsworth Bakehouse, where earlier today I got some focaccia so delicious it defies all expectations. Bayern Munich’s 18-game winning streak came to an end last night when they ran into the Arsenal buzzsaw and came off much worse, losing 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium. The game was being billed […]

It was really a critical match for the Black and Yellows. Niko Kovac’s men were three matches without a win and the media was starting to get antsy. Transfer rumors, votes of no confidence…everything we have come to expect. A UCL night would be the perfect opportunity to quiet the chatter. BVB came out strong […]

Ahhh. This one feels good. Dortmund actually won convincingly against a strong opponent. And no—Villareal are usually not what someone would consider an elite club among Europe’s top five leagues, but they are still 3rd in La Liga this year, just three points behind 1st placed Real Madrid. Kovac rotated the squad a bit, and […]

The Champions League is back! Obviously, Borussia Dortmund will face Villarreal this evening, but there are a couple of other fixtures that will dominate the headlines. The biggest game is probably Chelsea vs Barcelona, but Manchester City vs Bayer Leverkusen could be lots of fun, and I’m personally interested in a matchup between two former […]

Die Schwarzgelben face off against El Submarino Amarillo in a match that will decide which team has the better shade of yellow. Villarreal, named after the iconic Beatles song due to their bright yellow jerseys and substandard profile, are visiting the Westfalenstadion for Match day 5 in the Champions League. It has been an interesting […]

Good morning, Fear the Wall. I’m feeling pretty ambivalent about BVB on this Mondaymorning. This Saturday’s match was a gut punch, and it seems like what was a very promising start to the season has really begun to unravel. Now that I think about it, BVB have put up quite a lot of unsavory results in the last few weeks, […]

Who would win in a game of football: an 11-man squad worth hundreds of millions of Euros and filled with World Cup starters, or one guy named Deniz? As it turns out, the answer is neither. Borussia Dortmund returned from the international break today, and for the first 45 minutes all seemed to be well. […]

Welcome back to club action… In an important home encounter against VFB Stuttgart, a team against whom Dortmund always seem to screw it up, Dortmund screwed it up. A two-goal advantage was not enough to stop Denis Undav from pretty casually finding three goals to consistently make a mockery of BVB’s efforts to win the […]

The Bundesliga is back after the international break and Borussia Dortmund are back at the Westfalenstadion after four games on the road. The team’s homecoming won’t be easy, however, with a strong VfB Stuttgart team coming to town. The Swabians have become a formidable force in Germany soccer and have become a bogey team for […]

The Bundesliga gets back underway tonight with Mainz hosting Hoffenheim. Mainz have really struggled so far this season, so much so that they currently find themselves in the relegation zone. So they will be hoping to get their season back on tracks with victory against a Hoffenheim that is doing well on the pitch but […]

A week ago, I wrote a droning, melodramatic screed about how boring the international break is and how international football is a waste of time and should be abolished. Well, the universe instantly proved me wrong with one of the most entertaining and iconic weeks of international football in recent memory. I’ll accept your thanks […]

The latest international break is all wrapped up, and it looks like all of BVB’s international stars avoided injuries. There was a little more drama this international break, owing to the World Cup qualifiers wrapping up. In Europe, there are still playoffs to come, which will settle the final four teams that will be joining […]

Good morning, Fear the Wall. Since you asked, it is a fairly cold and wet day here in the Washington D.C. area. It rained all through last night, so now we just have chilly damp. Looks like more rain in the coming days too. Apparently Karim Adeyemi, who has often commented on how much he […]

There are a trillion ways to determine if a young player will be a successful in modern football. Professional scouts review a player’s physical attributes, technical ability, and statistical profile in an imperfect science to see if a wunderkid is truly the next Messi, Neymar, or Mahmoud Dahoud. There’s one fact about a player that […]

It’s been one full season since BVB talisman Marco Reus said goodbye to the club, a heart-wrenching moment for all Borussia Dortmund fans, and many fans beyond the Black and Yellow. Marco Reus was emblematic of something we all hope for as fans; the player who never leaves, the guy who gives it all for […]

For some reason, the German national team is doing a Friday/Monday match schedule this international break, so I don’t even have a match to recap. Sad. As a part-time non-professional soccer blogger, I should be paid some kind of convenience fee by FIFA for what they have done. Is there any other sport that does […]

The international break gets properly underway this evening, and by that I mean that England are playing. England will host Serbia in the World Cup qualifiers, with England having qualified already. Thomas Tuchel has announced that he is picking Morgan Rogers over Jude Bellingham, which is very, very funny. Elsewhere, France will host Ukraine and […]

No matter how many resources an organization has at its disposal, finding the edge, A.K.A the next best-selling jersey, will always be a priority. In a business […]

The slow crawl of the international break moves on and sports journalists across the soccer world are faced with a difficult decision; write a 50 page expose on Andorra vs. Albania or ask ChatGBT to produce transfer rumors two months early. Fortunately on the Daily Bee, we get to cover both of them for you! […]

The Daily Bee is a little late today because I am tired and I just couldn’t be bothered to write it. I couldn’t be bothered to do anything really. It hasn’t been a productive day. But here we are. We have another international break, which means we have to do as much deranged discourse as […]

As the 2025-26 season begins to take shape, Borussia Dortmund have settled into a trend that is quite unfamiliar. For a club that has so much history of attack-minded football, it’s been on the defensive where Niko Kovac and his men have found success. Dortmund’s seven goals and 9.4 expected goals conceded are both second […]
