Heja BVB
When you post on SB Nation, we don’t want you to miss all the conversations and responses that follow. So starting today, whenever a user replies to your comment or to your post on the Feed, you’ll see a notification at the top right corner of the page. And of course, this means that when […]
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 […]
There are two types of football clubs in this world: the ones that are good at developing talent and the ones that want to be good at it. 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 […]
Happy International Break #3. Dortmund will be heading off to national duty this week in the final rounds of preparation before the 2026 World Cup. It’s a big break for European clubs, as these are the final two matchdays in the qualifiers before the World Cup draw. Here are some of the big matches to […]
Well, that’s twice now BVB have failed to hold onto a lead in the league, three times this season, counting the game against Juventus. It was an uninspiring match from Niko Kovac’s men after their 4-1 battering in Manchester, and this draw will feel a lot like a loss after leading up to the 97th […]
In the final match before the international break, Dortmund travelled to Hamburg to face the newly promoted but historic North German side. Dortmund were in charge of possession for the entirety of the match, regularly winning the ball back through their high press, but they failed to really break down Hamburg’s defense. Carney Chukwuemeka’s strike […]

So… Where does that 4-1 defeat to Manchester City last Wednesday leave Niko Kovac’s BVB side? For the first time this season, the team got vastly overpowered by an opposition, and it will be very interesting to witness how the team will react. This could quickly propell BVB into a slump, or the players could […]
Werder Bremen host Wolfsburg this evening in a matchup between two very closely teams. My model, Predicting Ball, gives Werder Bremen a very small ratings edge, and it gives Bremen a 47.1% win probability over Wolfsburg’s 26.6%. The rest of the weekend’s fixtures include several big mismatches. Union Berlin have a win probability of 5.3% […]
As some of you may have noticed, I was not around last week, because I was taking a very lovely vacation in the beautiful country of Colombia. If you have not been, I cannot recommend it enough. I especially vouch for Medellín, which went from one of the most violent cities in the world a […]
Borussia Dortmund came to the Etihad Stadium in Manchester and fell 4-1 to Manchester City. While the scoreline definitely makes it seem like a paddling, this game wasn’t quite as one-sided as 4-1 would indicate. BVB pressed very hard in the first 20 minutes and City looked quite uncomfortable. A late set-piece goal from Waldemar […]
That’s another round of the Champions League league phase in the bank. There were a couple major upsets on Wednesday evening, as Qarabag FK earned a 2-2 draw against Chelsea, and Club Brugge held Barcelona to a point in a 3-3 draw with the Catalan giants. The biggest results of round four in the Champions […]
Borussia Dortmund suffered a heavy defeat in the Champions League this evening as Manchester City scored four brilliant goals to secure a 4-1 victory. This loss marks BVB’s first European defeat of the season. Dortmund can count themselves a little unlucky to concede four, but BVB found themselves on the wrong side of a City […]

Tomorrow, Borussia Dortmund will face Manchester City in a match that has the potential to make or break Dortmund’s quest to automatically qualify for the Champions League Round of 16. Manchester City, the current runners-up in England who won the entire competition only three years ago, will arguably be Dortmund’s most difficult opponent of the […]
The Champions League gets back underway this evening. The biggest of tonight’s fixtures will be PSG vs Bayern Munich, which is being billed as a clash between two of the early favourites to go all the way. There is also the exciting prospect of Real Madrid travelling to face Liverpool at Anfield, with the return […]
Borussia Dortmund face a difficult Manchester City tie in the Champions League today but will be buoyed by the return of three key injuries. Nico Schlotterbeck, Emre Can, and Julien Duranville are all available and we can expect Schlotterbeck to start. Niklas Süle is out with a toe injury. It’s not the most exciting slate […]
The BVB jet will be feeling the miles with another away day, this time abroad. Dortmund are travelling to England this week to face off against Manchester City after their weekend victory in Bavaria against FC Augsburg. The matches keep coming for BVB, but fortunately, the squad seems to be keeping mostly fit. Dortmund are […]
