Match Preview: BVB Prepare to Take Their Medicine in Leverkusen

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 […]

Bundesliga Open Thread: Matchday Twelve

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 […]

The Daily Bee: Nico Schlotterbeck Next Contract’s Uncertain

First things first, I want to wish everyone a (belated) Thanksgiving. I hope you all found a moment of joy amidst family and/or friends. Now that that’s out of the way, I wish you all a happy Black Friday. May you find shopping deals galore. Borussia Dortmund News Bundesliga News

The Daily Bee: Mats Hummels Discusses BVB’s Struggles

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 […]

Post Match Reaction: BVB Get Back to Winning Ways

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 […]

MOTM (Not a) Poll: BVB Sink The Yellow Submarine at Home

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 Daily Bee: BVB Planning for a Future Without Serhou Guirassy

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 […]

Match Preview: Dortmund Look to Sink the Yellow Submarine

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 […]

The Daily Bee: Heavy is the Head That’s Stuck on the Bench

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, […]

Post-Match Reactions: Borussia Dortmund 3-3 Deniz Undav

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. […]

MOTM (Not a) Poll: Dortmund Upgrade

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 […]

Match Preview: Dortmund Finally Return Home

The Bundesliga is back after the international break and Borussia Dortmund are back at the Westfalenstadion after four games on the road. The team’s homecoming won’t be easy, however, with a strong VfB Stuttgart team coming to town. The Swabians have become a formidable force in Germany soccer and have become a bogey team for […]

Bundesliga Open Thread: Matchday Eleven

The Bundesliga gets back underway tonight with Mainz hosting Hoffenheim. Mainz have really struggled so far this season, so much so that they currently find themselves in the relegation zone. So they will be hoping to get their season back on tracks with victory against a Hoffenheim that is doing well on the pitch but […]

The Daily Bee: Dortmund Interested in Promising 16-Year-Old Striker

A week ago, I wrote a droning, melodramatic screed about how boring the international break is and how international football is a waste of time and should be abolished. Well, the universe instantly proved me wrong with one of the most entertaining and iconic weeks of international football in recent memory. I’ll accept your thanks […]

The Daily Bee: Karim Adeyemi Issues Statement About Weapons Conviction

The latest international break is all wrapped up, and it looks like all of BVB’s international stars avoided injuries. There was a little more drama this international break, owing to the World Cup qualifiers wrapping up. In Europe, there are still playoffs to come, which will settle the final four teams that will be joining […]

The Daily Bee: Karim Adeyemi Tipped to Move On

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 […]

The Daily Bee: De Cat is Out of the Bag

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 […]

What’s Marco Reus Up To?

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 […]

The Daily Bee: International Break Blues

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 Daily Bee: BVB Annoyed with Bild’s Coverage of Schlotterbeck’s Contract

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 […]

The Daily Bee: Wolfsburg may want Sebastian Kehl

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! […]
