With their Pokal hopes coming to an unceremonious end earlier this week, Borussia Dortmund now have to redefine their definition of success for this season, which is very likely not to include winning a trophy. Even with Maxi Beier declaring that they want to become champions (so do we, Maxi, so do we), with Bayern […]

Sorry, I was too busy enjoying the absolutely mental World Cup draw. Anyway, feel free to chat about Bundesliga! Here is this weekend’s Bundesliga schedule: Friday: Saturday: Sunday: The same rules apply as the BVB match threads, though I’m hoping tempers are less likely to flare in these threads. But as a reminder, here are […]

It’s Friday! I’ve been working late every night this week, so I am exhausted, but here I am anyway. That’s how committed I am to entertaining you, folks. I unfortunately don’t have any pithy witticisms to start this article with, so here’s a random fact, which is definitely not inspired by the fact that I […]

One of the many sad aspects of Borussia Dortmund being out of the title chase is that I’m not as invested in what Bayern Munich are up to. Another year, Bayern once again grabbing all three points thanks to a last-minute goal against a Bundesliga opponent that put up a valiant defensive effort would have […]

Breaking News – Borussia Dortmund’s chances at winning the treble are over. Niko Kovac’s maiden DFB Pokal campaign in Dortmund ended after only the third round. The club’s path to the trophy was always difficult you would hope a home crowd advantage would have lifted Dortmund above Bayer Leverkusen, a team they beat just three […]

Three days after earning three points in Leverkusen, Dortmund returned home against the same opponent and were knocked out of the DFB Pokal. Ibrahim Maza’s strike in the 34th minute was the sole decider as Kovac will watch the rest of the tournament from home. It wasn’t for lack of trying, however, as Dortmund were […]

We’re in Bayer Leverkusen purgatory. All the news is about our 2-1 win against Die Werkself at the weekend, or tonight’s DFB-Pokal fixture also against Die Werkself. Maybe we just play Leverkusen forever now. It’s certainly better than playing Bayern Munich. Lets hope we do the double against the Medicine Men tonight. BVB News Bundesliga […]

The last time that Borussia Dortmund played Bayer Leverkusen, I had a full tub of leftover Thanksgiving stuffing. Now, I have but a quarter tub of leftover Thanksgiving stuffing. If current projections hold, by Tuesday I will have no stuffing at all. Let this serve as a warning for Die Schwarzgelben: performances on one day, […]

Borussia Dortmund returned to winning ways in the Bundesliga this evening, beating Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 in a close affair at the BayArena thanks to headed goals from Aaron Anselmino and Karim Adeyemi. Leverkusen scored late on to make things nervy for Dortmund, but BVB held on for the win and left Leverkusen with much-needed three […]

Borussia Dortmund’s form has been sputtering lately, and now they are dealt the unfortunate hand of a trip to face one of the best teams in Germany on a hot run of form, Bayer Leverkusen. Die Werkself had a tough start to the season thanks to the uniquely weird and awful vibes of Erik ten […]

Borussia Mönchengladbach look to continue their remarkable turnaround in form as they host RB Leipzig this evening. Die Fohlen were in the relegation zone not long ago, but wins against those around them at the bottom of the table has helped them climb the table quickly. They will face a stern test against second-placed RB […]

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 […]
