Oh and her love for GKs was stuff of legends.. Yann Sommer and Neuer were among her favs, iirc

Never forget when she banned me for debuting the term 'bundesfodder' on GL Proud

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure RG tried to contact her through Skype or a similar platform, and she never replied. Seems a bit strange for a mod to just up and leave, as well as ignore attempts from other mods to contact her, but of course, it doesn't necessarily have to mean that anything out of the ordinary happened to her.

Or telling me not to call Draxler Scheißler.

I remember that though Laughing

Bundesfodder is immortalised here so should remain

There’s no way Dortmund are beating Bayern with Haaland being forced into a playmaking role Laughing

by Thimmy Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:10 pm

Brandt scores, Haaland assists. 2-1.

by Thimmy Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:43 pm

Haaland 2-2.

by Thimmy Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:47 pm

Haaland's shot is blocked by Neuer. That should've been a goal. Is no one else watching this match?

by Thimmy Wed Sep 30, 2020 9:11 pm

Goal from Kimmich! Assisted by Lewandowski. That was an odd scorpion-like kick off the rebound Laughing

3-2.

I actually couldn't watch it.

At the moment, Union 3-0 up vs Mainz who have also sacked their coach this week

Kruse with his first goal for Union :bow:

Karius on the Union bench :bow:

new signing Pohjanpalo scores right after coming on - 4:0

My first thought was: "You know what? He had already made an assist and scored a goal, so I really can't ask more from a striker, especially a 20-year old".

But then I tried to look at it from a Dortmund fan's perspective. Even if you're very, very young and has had already a terrific performance in the game with assists and goals to your name, missing a golden chance like that with your team already one goal behind does inevitably cast a shadow over everything you had done prior to that moment.

Having said all that, I'm going to go back to my first thought Laughing

Haaland has terrific potential and Dortmund are very lucky to have him.

Haaland goal now

I expect to win the prediction about the Bundesliga goalscorer 2020-2021...

by Hapless_Hans Sat Oct 03, 2020 3:05 pm

Haaland. Inimitable. Iconic striker.

by Robespierre Sat Oct 03, 2020 3:07 pm

The other Borussia are winning 0-2 at Koln

A good description about Moenchengladbach ? @Hapless_Hans
Care for CL group lol

by Robespierre Sat Oct 03, 2020 3:14 pm

it seems that there were more spectators at Berlin East yesterday than at Dortmund today

Upper limit of spectators for covid varies from lander to lander ?

I cannot say much about them, have not seen them often under Rose so far

Generally, they are overachievers since years due to good DoF work and coaching
They do NOT have the economic fundament to be a Champions League club really, and always have a young, rather no name squad, with top players sold regularly (usually to Buyrussia Dortmund - Reus, Hazard, Dahoud, but also Ter Stegen, Xhaka..).
I'm also sure they are broke due to CoVid this season, they haven't strengthened as far as I can see.

Rose is a very good coach, they press hard, are compact and well drilled.
They have a couple of interesting young French strikers in Plea and Thuram, and they have another midfield star in the making in Zakaria who's a great young player.

Not to be underestimated, but I don't think they have the squad, level nor gravitas to compete with Inter or Real.

I see the group finishing as

1. Inter
2. Shaktar
3. Real
4. Gladbach

By the way, with the way Madrid are playing right now, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of them not reaching the round of 16, as meager as the chance may seem.

by Robespierre Sat Oct 03, 2020 3:36 pm

And Emre Can closes this match probably, easy victory for BVB

by Robespierre Sat Oct 03, 2020 3:38 pm

Vincenzo Grifo still on bench for Freiburg

and Mancini still calls up for Italy NT ( also now ) , it's the typical weird fixation by Mancini

Yeah, I don't know how we're supposed to beat anyone, to be honest. We can defend alright, but we have no reliable goalscorer. I'd trade 5 of our players for 1 Haaland, these days. It's depressing.

Meunier, man :facepalm:
