Heja BVB
Good morning, Fear the Wall. Another year, and other set of goals scored against BVB by none other than Andrej Kramarić. Some teams have bogey opponents (see Bayern-Gladbach, Dortmund-Stuttgart, Arsenal-League Title), but BVB seem to have a single bogey player in Andrej Kramaric. I cannot even be mad about it at this point, the guy […]
BVB have lost two league matches in a row for the first time this season, dropping all three points to Hoffenheim. The Sinsheim club were awarded two important penalties from handball incidents that ultimately allowed them to triumph 2-1 over BVB. You can’t talk about this match without addressing the handballs. The handball rules in […]

Another weekend of Bundesliga action. There’s only a few of these left before the end of the season, and there’s not much left to play for across the league. The title race is all but officially over, while the relegation battle is not done and dusted but is not far off. Still, we must go […]
For those of you who are train enthusiasts, I’m sure you’d agree with me when I say that NJ Transit is the envy of the world when it comes to commuter rail. Just look at it: What would you spend to ride this modern-day Orient Express? $10? $20? How about more than $100? If there’s […]
I’m going to try to keep today’s Daily Bee pretty short. I have spent all week working late (data science waits for no one) and I want to cook dinner with a delicious frothy tinny. I have this Cloudwater 11th Birthday QIPA in the fridge, which will be thick like a hoppy grapefruit milkshake. I […]
The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals kicks off in about 90 minutes. Atletico Madrid will look to defend their 2-0 first leg lead over Barcelona, while Liverpool also face a two-goal hill they will have to climb if they are to beat Paris Saint-Germain and make it to the final four. Unfortunately both […]
Good morning, Fear the Wall. Well, BVB have finally lost to a Bundesliga team other than Bayern Munich. Not a huge shock that it should be Bayer Leverkusen. Though their position in the league table may suggest otherwise, they’re still the second best team in the league (other than perhaps Borussia Dortmund). Dortmund in fairness […]

After separating themselves from the pack even further last week in Stuttgart (in what felt like somewhat of a mini-derby), Dortmund are returning home with fewer worries every other week. They have fully set up shop in second place, 11 points clear of the next best Leipzig, and 14 points removed from a Europa League […]
After months of back-and-forth negotiations, Borussia Dortmund and Nico Schlotterbeck have agreed to terms on a new contract for the star center-back that will last until 2031. According to Kicker, the contract includes a raise to €14 million per year and a release clause between €50-60 million. The club announced the signing earlier today: Unfortunately, […]
We’ve reached that stage in the season where there’s nothing much to play for on the pitch but we’re not yet close enough to the end of the season to really start talking seriously about the transfer window. As a result, there’s not a lot of serious news out there, besides a lot of vague […]
Good morning, Fear the Wall. Second place is looking good for BVB after a 2-0 victory in Stuttgart this past Saturday. It was a match with few chances, but when BVB had the good ones, they did not fool around like you might expect. Niko Kovac was pleased with his side’s reaction, but noted they […]
Well, that was unexpected. After 90 minutes of fairly underwhelming football from Borussia Dortmund, two late strikes from substitutes Karim Adeyemi and Julian Brandt gave BVB first win over Stuttgart since October of 2022. Yea, let that sink in. BVB needed a win today to prevent Stuttgart closing the gap to second place. Dortmund are […]

As we enter the final stretch of the season, Borussia Dortmund don’t have much to play for other than the moral victory of a second place finish. This weekend, Dortmund will have a strong chance to put that second place on lock with a win against VfB Stuttgart, their challengers in third. Unfortunately, doing so […]
While the Borussia Dortmund men’s team has basically nothing left to play for this season, the opposite is the case for the women’s team. The BVB-Frauen are locked in a bitter fight with FC Köln II for promotion from the Regionalliga West into the 2. Bundesliga. While for most of the season BVB trailed Köln […]
Sorry to everyone looking for another article on how Nico Schlotterbeck MIGHT sign a new contract! We’re embracing the international window and taking a look at the teams who qualified for the 2026 World Cup yesterday. Paul Johnson gave everyone a preview in yesterday’s Daily Bee but here are is the final slate from yesterdays […]
We’re into the second week of the international break, and the UEFA World Cup qualification play-off finals are currently underway. At half-time, here’s how it stands: Italy are down to ten men, so maybe Bosnia & Herzegovina can pull the upset. I would also like to see Kosovo make it just for the novelty. Elsewhere, […]
Good morning, Fear the Wall. Wishing you a happy Monday as we wrap up the month of March. April showers on the horizon. As you can tell, there is just a plethora of news to share with you all about Borussia Dortmund during this international break. Dortmund knocked out their big news early in the […]
The international break kicks off this evening with the semi-final of the UEFA World Cup qualification play-offs taking place right now. Despite the terrible state of the world and the hosts of this summer’s World Cup doing their best to spoil everyone’s excitement, I’m still pretty pumped about the tournament (supporting one of the favorites […]
Happy Wednesday, everyone! Sorry for the late Daily Bee. I’m sure you were all on the edge of your seat waiting for your favorite article of the day. You know who else is a fan of the Daily Bee? Dortmund’s new Sporting Director, Nils-Ole Book (that’s probably not true). Book was officially unveiled in his […]
Usually it’s impossible to find any news worth covering in the Daily Bee during the international break, but not this week! I’d personally like to thank the Borussia Dortmund front office for making sure there’s plenty to talk about. They have been very busy, and it’s only Tuesday. Maybe they can also queue up some […]
Only a day after releasing Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl from his duties, Borussia Dortmund have found his replacement in Nils-Ole Book, who has earned his stripes as the Sporting Director of SV Elversberg since 2018. Book has a very strong record as Sporting Director at Elversberg, with the club rising all the way from the […]
Good morning, Fear the Wall. Well, we knew that Niklas Süle and Salih Özcan would be departing Borussia Dortmund, but someone has beaten them out the door. Dortmund’s sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, has left his post with immediate effect. Kehl’s departure ushers in a new era for BVB in the coming transfer window. Carsten Cramer […]
