Great side but with either Bayern and Real Madrid to overcome , nerves will get the better of them I cant see them lifting the trophy

by VivaStPauli Thu Mar 07, 2013 1:02 am

I very much doubt that they're still afraid of Real after outplaying them at home, and almost grinding out a win in Madrid.

They might still lose, but I don't think nerves will be a factor.

I really hope Dortmund go far. They are a fun team to watch and I love there players. Dortmund vs Juve would be EPIC!

by VivaStPauli Thu Mar 07, 2013 10:54 am

That would be interesting to see; Dortmund are probably the best team of can-openers out there, seldom seen a team less impressed by a good defense. They got their weaknesses, but nobody ATM carves open a deep, compact, well-organized defence like Reus, Kuba and Götze do.

Just checked the club co-efficients table and Dortmund are placed 39th in the table currently.

So either they go on and win the whole thing to be guaranteed of a Pot 1 slot or end up in Pot 3 or Pot 4 again next year depending on their performances in the coming rounds of this year's CL.There's no chance they make Pot 2 next year.(Unless they win it ofcourse)

Well, I think Dortmund don't really need to bother in which pot they end up. They will simply play against everybody who is put before them, just like this season. ^^

Well it would be helpful for them if they get an easy group plus it might not deter their league performances to an extent as it has this season due to the CL distractions.

As far as it stands ,if they dont win CL this year they'll likely to be placed in a tough group again or they just get completely lucky like PSG did with their group this year.

Afterall it might not matter much anyways as they're looking to add a bit more depth to their squad without selling any of their stars and we all know they are a match for anyone in Europe either ways.

Admit it, the Pot1 and Pot2 teams just don't want to risk drawing Dortmund if they end up in Pot3 or Pot4 again Razz

When the f*ck did I write this, and how wasted was I? This doesn't sound like a pun I would make.

So true

Banner from last CL match is very cool, but I think that it little plagiarism (ACM had similar banner). Smile

BVB achieved its goal, so they should play at ease in the semi finals vs. Real. Bayern, Real & Barcelona - must, BVB can.

Madrid lost the game. Dortmund didnt win. Just so that we re clear on that.

They have more depth than last year and more experience than last year. But CL is unpredictable. They can beat Bayern in the CL final and win it, or they can lose to PSG next round if they face them.

But definitely one of the contenders
