Bundesliga Open Thread: Matchday 31

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, […]

The Daily Bee: BVB-Frauen Promotion Effort in Trouble

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 […]

The Daily Bee: Jadon Sancho Ready to Return to Dortmund

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 Daily Bee: Concussions, Coulibaly, and… Cockatoos?

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 […]

The Daily Bee: The Curse of the Kramarić

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 […]

Post Match Reaction: Underwhelming Again

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 […]

Bundesliga Open Thread: Matchday 30

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 […]

The Daily Bee: Greatest World Cup Ever™

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 […]

The Daily Bee: Fisnik Asllani Top of BVB’s Summer Shortlist

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 Daily Bee: BVB Show Support for Nico Schlotterbeck

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 […]

The Daily Bee: A Loss in the League

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 […]

Match Preview: Dortmund want to win, Leverkusen need to

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 […]

Official: Borussia Dortmund Extend Nico Schlotterbeck to 2031

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, […]

The Daily Bee: Karim Adeyemi’s Value Takes Significant Hit

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 […]

The Daily Bee: Feisty Finale in Stuttgart

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 […]

MOTM Poll: BVB Snag Surprising Late Win in Stuttgart

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 […]

Match Preview: BVB Look to Seal Second Place Finish Against Stuttgart

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 […]

The Daily Bee: BVB-Frauen Back in the Driver’s Seat

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.

The Daily Bee: So Much to Talk About

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 Daily Bee: BVB Identify Julian Brandt’s Replacement

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 […]
