Heja BVB
Right, that’s the 2025-26 Bundesliga! Borussia Dortmund closed it out in second place, a measly 16 points behind Bayern Munich. If only a few more bounces had gone their way they might’ve had them. As always, the final match of the season, in which neither team had anything to play for, felt a bit superfluous. […]

Of all the cultural icons of the American education system, none might be more quintessential than the yellow school bus. Generations of Americans have watched their children climb up those steps. It’s where friends were made, bullies confronted, silly arguments hashed. It’s where Forrest met Jenny. It’s where my friend Zack got the shit beaten […]
There isn’t a lot going on in Germany right now, but there is plenty of drama in the UK. Not only is the Prime Minister Keir Starmer on his last legs, with the Labour Party infighting to decide his replacement, but my trip to Wembley Stadium next weekend is in real danger! If you were […]
Finally! BVB have cemented themselves right where the entire organization aims to find themselves come the end of the season—second place. Truly an elite achievement in the Bundesliga where a club like Bayern Munich has money and is therefore infallible. Congrats to all of us. It’s reasonable to say that BVB were never beating this […]

FIFA has set out to squeeze every last breadcrumb of value out of the 2026 World Cup by jacking up prices on just about everything: transportation, hospitality, and even the prices of the tickets themselves. The hope has been that, just like every other aspect of American life over the last decade, the American appetite […]
There may be very little left to play for in the Bundesliga, but the Premier League still has a few twists and turns left to keep things interesting. Over the weekend, Spurs managed to climb out of the relegation zone after a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa, while last night Man City gave Arsenal the […]
Good morning, Fear the Wall. Heck of a game yesterday, huh? I was working on house projects during the match so I was mainly listening, and at one point the game disconnected (shoutout Hulu) and I’ll be honest, I didn’t put it back on for about 10 minutes. When organizing the yard equipment in my […]

The Battle of the Borussias returns to the Bundesliga tomorrow when Borussia Monchengladbach host Borussia Dortmund. Typically this match is billed as ‘Who is the better Borussia’ but I would reckon that a 35-point difference between second place Dortmund and fourteenth place Monchengladbach is enough to indicate which side is better this season. Instead, this […]
A little late getting the open thread out, but there was no Friday game and there’s plenty of exciting Bundesliga fixtures left to discuss. I was preoccupied by Naoyo Inoue vs Junto Nakatani at the Tokyo Dome earlier today. It was an excellent fight. Can the Bundesliga offer anything of a similar level? Bayer Leverkusen […]
The FIFA World Cup is now less than two months away. As media coverage ramps up, the entire world is quickly becoming acquainted with the peculiarities of the geography, politics, and economics of the greater New York City metropolitan complex. Three weeks ago, I covered the glory of NJ Transit. This week, I’m going to […]
The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals wrapped up this week. Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich put on a show on Tuesday night, with PSG coming out on top in a 5-4 win that was an incredible display of what it looks like when both teams think defending is cowardly behavior. It was a […]
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 […]
