This Dortmund manager is a clown. 

 

Many rumors on who they are bringing in this summer? I see a lot of roster turnover in their future. 

[ATLLonghorn 856]

Stoger is the manager because they made a bone-headed hire in Bosz who they fired three months into the season. Stoger is there to keep them afloat this year which means keep them in the Champions League next year which he'll probably be able to do. They drew APOEL twice in the Champions League. They were thoroughly outclassed by RB Salzburg in the Europa League. They've become mediocre over the span of a year for a variety of reasons. They didn't belong on the field with Bayern and that was before Bayern shoved it up their poopers today.

Sort of a humble brag here, my cousin's youngest, my Godson, has been signed by Borussia Moenchengladbach for their talent team.

He will be living in the stadium dorms and finishing up school as he works/plays with their U-17 team.

Pulisic just scored on a badass cross/shot

They need a game like this after that beatdown from Munich.

Yeah, it's pretty cool. He's a great kid. He was actually born here in the States. Up at Crappy Valley when his dad was a visiting professor. So theoretically he could one day play for the U.S., I think.

BvB vs Schalke 04 in a derby (pronounced "darby") in a few hours.

 

Anyone know if Weston McKennie (sp?) Is fit again?

Pulisic vs McKennie is DVR worthy.

 

EDIT:  Apparently he's been healthy for about a month to 5+ weeks.

EDIT #2: Or maybe more recently.

And Dortmund's slide continues.

FS2 is bouncing all 9 games. Really fun. Huge battle for the last CL spot. 

[Firemans4Horn 18050]

Wow Burki. That looked like a play my over 30 indoor keeper makes every couple of weeks. 

[Firemans4Horn 18050]

Wow,

Incredible goal by Jonas Hector. 

 

Puskas nominee in my opinion. 

[Captain Ron 12876]

It looks like it got tight between Leverkusen and Dortmund. The GD margin between them down to 1 before Leverkusen gave up 2 stoppage time goals.

So the UCL teams: Bayern, Schalke 04, Hoffenheim and Dortmund.

Hamburg fans took their club's first ever relegation well

[Captain Ron 12876]

Those fans look like they really want to grill the team.

Hamburg fans took their club's first ever relegation well

Reminds me of the way I felt with Mackovic circa 1996 TX/OU game.

[PittsburghTiger 6186]

As we sit here at the beach in France my Godson has just received his official invite to the German U17 national team.

🇩🇪⚽️

[PittsburghTiger 6186]

Update on the Godson. He has moved into the stadium at Moenchengladbach and they have started playing some friendlies. Today they, Gladbach U17,  beat Leverkusen, 2-0. Godson had a goal, his second in two games.

 

The real games begin Aug. 12

[drifter379 1106]

I am less than a casual fan. I have watched a part of a couple of games this season. But I have a friend that is all in and was asked to start this English blog for FC Cologne.

 

This seems like the proper place for it.

[PittsburghTiger 6186]

Godson opened his Bundesliga season with a 1-1 final against Leverkusen. The Bayer 04 goal came via a PK. They, Moenchengladbach, play Preussen Muenster tomorrow.

[PittsburghTiger 6186]

Today was a 3-0 victory over Muenster. No goal for team captain, also known as my Godson and my German cousin’s boy.

[usmc0331horn 953]

Leipzig scored in the first 45 seconds but that was all. Dortmund looked pretty sharp at home today.

[usmc0331horn 953]

The Bundesliga race this year is um.....interesting? Bayern is in 4th and Dortmund is in 1st?

[PittsburghTiger 6186]

This past weekend the Godson was asked to come play for the US National Team U17. He was born here in the States so he can do that.

He's on the German National team and plays for Borussia Moenchengladbach's U17

[Firemans4Horn 18050]

Pretty crazy that Pulisic can’t get minutes because there is a younger, more skilled player that’s taken his place. To be fair, Jadon Sancho is a badass. 

[Firemans4Horn 18050]

Dortmund is putting on a passing clinic. A very peak-Barca type goal for their 3rd today. 

[Firemans4Horn 18050]

Wow, brutal draw for Dortmund. Up 3-0 in the 75th and draw 3-3. 

[PittsburghTiger 6186]

Dortmund's collapse continues. Augsburg just beat them, 2-1, in Augsburg. Tomorrow Bayern is at Gladbach and can draw into a tie at the top of the standings.

[Firemans4Horn 18050]

You can’t stop the Dong-wan Ji,

you can only hope to contain him. 

[Bone3421 716]

Pulisic out 3 to 4 weeks for dortmund

[Firemans4Horn 18050]

What an ass kicking. 

[Captain Ron 12876]

Beat down. And Dortmund is doing nothing to stop it. 

[Jive Turkey 12598]

Yeah.  I was looking for an 18-19 thread so commented in the catchall thread. This is ugly. Thing is, Dortmund should have scored first. Missed an open net. Then all downhill. 

[ATLLonghorn 856]

Since Der Klassiker is horribly predictable please enjoy this goal of the year nominee from Leipzig's Matheus Cunha
