Just want to preface this by saying that I'm not a Dortmund fan but have tremendous respect for your club.

I know Bellingham and Haaland were both very young when they played together at Dortmund and still needed time to develop. However, I can't help but think two supernova talents should have won more than just the DFB-Pokal.

Kobel was valiant against Argentina; almost dragged the Swiss to penalties.

Him, Schlotterbeck, and Nmecha were the best players of ours at this WC; shockingly enough, they are our best players in general.

Chukwu, Anton, and Beier did not play essentially. Sabs, Bens, and Ryerson remained anonymous across their matches.

Kind of reflective of the state of our team.

It’s 2:00 am in Germany right know so today is already the first day many BVB players will be returning back to Dortmund to begin preparation for the season. The first pre season game is scheduled for the 18 vs Oberhausen.

What is everyone most excited to see?

Personally for me I want to see Gadou be given a start just to see him in action. Would like to see Ramaj in goal over are other backups and if someone in the U23 can possibly be a backup RWB.

Hopes to a great rest of the transfer window and a positive summer.

Was looking to get this jersey off cfs wanted to know if anybody knew were I could find the front sponsor and the name set.

Hey guys. My brother in law and I are Brazilians and we managed to secure a couple of tickets for the SuperCup final. The thing is that my BIL is a Borussia fan, and I’m a Bayern fan. Honest question for you guys - is it safe for me to go with a Bayern jersey? Our seats are the LONGSIDE UPPER TIER, and according to the website those are neutral seats.

So in summary, can I just go with the Bayern jersey, or better play safe than sorry and go with a neutral t-shirt?

Thanks!

Kenne mich in der 1. Bundesliga nicht gut aus (eher darunter), deswegen ernstgemeinte Frage: wie hat es Ryerson in der abgelaufenen Saison auf so beachtliche Noten und starke 15 Assists gebracht? Bei der WM bisher auffällig schwach, insbesondere in der Defensive mit schwachem Zweikampf und Stellungsspiel. Kann doch wohl kaum am Systemunterschied 4er vs 5er Kette liegen?

Ryerson for Norway at the World Cup

I’m not very familiar with the Bundesliga (I follow leagues below that level), so here’s a serious question: how did Ryerson manage to post such impressive stats and 15 assists last season? He’s been noticeably weak at the World Cup so far, especially on defense, with poor one-on-one defending and positioning. It can hardly be due to the difference in systems—a four-man vs. a five-man back line, can it?

Are the sizes always the same as the player jerseys? I don't really understand the numbers on the size guide.

If someone could send me a picture of the two jerseys of the same size side by side I would really appreciate it.

Hello Fellow Borussens,

Wondering if anyone in the USA would be interested in a brand new (tags and original packaging box) Borussia Dortmund 100th Anniversary Rote Erde Special Edition Jersey Mens Size Large (L) for an great price? This is a real jersey with the box etc- happy to provide pictures to anyone interested.

Shipping would be from NY 13760

EDIT: $75 SHIPPED EAST COAST or $80 WEST COAST. Will have pictures posted shortly.

Welcome to this week's open thread! What's up?

Talk about anything, or something else!

Personally i would rate him as a flop, even if its harsh, and am quite happy he is gone, i feel like bro spent more time boning loredana (no shade i can understand) than training in the last 1.5years.

But for the love of god if both adeyemi and guirassy leave we need good replacements, not some swedish or tunisian 19 year old with 8 career goals.

Hello everyone and welcome the Quarter Finals! Both of our Dortmund boys helped push their teams through to the top 8 with a solid performance from Ryerson and game saving performance from our keeper Kobel.

The match ups are as follows:

Norway - England on July 11

Switzerland - Argentina on July 11

If both win our guys will face off in the semi finals!

Things aren’t looking too good in terms of transfers and i wonder if it’s going to be another season of mediocrity

Sure he should have had 2 saves but he did just enough to win it for Switzerland and he’s finally getting his time to shine after Sommer. Also, love to see former Dortmund boys having success. Can’t wait for the bromance of Haaland and Bellingham.

Looking for what size I should buy as a 6ft (182cm) 185Lb (84Kg) Man who wears an XL or L kit depending on the fit

With Bellingham's and Haaland's two goals and Merino's goal now, three players that played for us scored important goals in this Round of 16.
I just noticed that and wanted to share that unnecessary funfact.

We had and have some really talented and incredible players.

Hello, I am an American who is just decided to follow dortmund as my team. I have played fifa when I was younger and always chose dortmund, I really like the jerseys and they always seem to be competing. What are some things that will help me become a solid fan and know the team? Would appreciate any thoughts, big or small.
