The second round of DFB-Pokal quarter-finals take place this week, with Hertha Berlin facing Freiburg this evening and Bayern Munich hosting RB Leipzig tomorrow. Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart already booked their place in the semi-final last week, so the remaining hope for a 2. Bundesliga side pulling an upset lies with Hertha Berlin tonight. […]

Good late evening Fear the Wall, Apologies for this late Daily Bee, I was super busy today. This is going to be a quick one as well. So Bayern won. I have some thoughts on that game but fortunately I don’t write for BFW so I don’t have to share them. What I will say […]

Another three points are in the bag as Borussia Dortmund continue their strong (league) start to 2026 and unbeaten run (in the league) since October. Dortmund have collected 16 of a possible 18 points made available to them in the new year, and had they seen off what is a rather poor Frankfurt side, they […]

In a game of two halves, Dortmund do just enough to secure a victory against the perplexingly relegation threatened Wolfsburg. After largely controlling the first half, save for some fast breaks by Wolfsburg, BVB let the game and their lead slip. For a moment, it looked like Wolfsburg could even snag a victory, threatening to […]

Don’t tell anyone but Borussia Dortmund might actually be in a title chase. After five months of Bayern Munchen pulverizing every team that played them, a string of two bad results mean Dortmund are only six points behind the perennial champions. Unfortunately for Dortmund, they also have to get results if they want any hope […]

The weekend’s Bundesliga action kicks off in about half an hour, with Union Berlin hosting Eintracht Frankfurt. If you’ve been paying any attention to Frankfurt’s season, you’ll know they are a ludicrous team that is very capable of scoring and conceding a lot of goals. They have also been on a terrible run, yet to […]

Six points. The gap between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund is now six points, with fourteen games remaining in the season. In a vacuum, if the names of the clubs were hidden and only the point totals were compared, would you call it a title race? A lot can happen over fourteen games. Dortmund might […]

Good morning, Fear the Wall. Dortmund made it hard on themselves yesterday with their 3-2 win over Heidenheim. An injury to Filippo Mane got the ball rolling on what was a genuine fight from Heidenheim, and if you ask me, Heidenheim probably deserved more from that game. Better finishing would see them win handily at […]

In a vacuum, I recognize that needing to come back from a 2-1 deficit with the help of two penalties, one of which your player misses, and a few other lucky bounces, all against the worst team in the league, is not ideal. If Borussia Dortmund are indeed able to run down Bayern Munich in […]

After another worrying Champions League goose egg, Dortmund return to their bread-and-butter in the Bundesliga. There, the black-and-yellows remain undefeated since their one loss in Munich back in mid October. Furthermore, their record against this weekend’s opponent is a pretty one: four wins, two draws, no losses. Making Heidenheim the only current Bundesliga side Dortmund […]

Borussia Dortmund missed out on automatic qualification for the Champions League knockout stages tonight, having lost 2-0 to Inter Milan. But I’m not sure you could convince me they were really trying to win. I watched too many players refusing to push up the field on breaks to believe this was their best efforts. I […]

There has been a lack of activity from the club, and now they have lost a promising squad member, with Aaron Anselmino returning to South London. But the good news is that there is plenty of midweek football to distract us from […]

Good morning, Fear the Wall. The great American winter storm has passed and for the first time ever, my job actually told me to work from home. Neat.

Well, this kind of sucks. It was reported in December that Chelsea had included an option in Aaron Anselmino’s loan to recall him in January if they so desired, and today, five days before the transfer deadline, they have opted to do so. This is a pretty significant blow to BVB, who have had success […]

In Berlin, Borussia Dortmund visited a stout Union Berlin side and walked away with all three points. Kovac’s men entered this match desperately needing an injection of morale […]
