Cup final, May 12th in Berlin - DO it again Borussia!

schwatzgelb.de — Thu, 10 May 2012 17:48:53 +0200

What a great season 2011/2012! Borussia Dortmund is German Champion again! The second time in a row - for most of us (including me) a big surprise after winning the title last year. Meanwhile, a lot has been written about the new Deutscher Meister 2012, our sensational team, our sensational coach, our sensational team spirit and a lot of sensational matches. Aren't there enough sensations for this season? No! We all are full of hope that we will experience another sensation. On Saturday, our Borussia will play the Cup final in Berlin's Olympiastadium against the almighty team of Bayern Munich. Yes, it's Bayern Munich again, the all time favourite in the Bundesliga. This season "only" Vice Champion in the league but one week later on May 19th, the opponent of Chelsea in this year's Champions League final. But don't let us waste our time thinking about Bayern! Much more important is: It's Borussia Dortmund's great chance to write history in 2012 – winning the double for the first time in our club's chronicle!

schwatzgelb.de — Tue, 08 May 2012 15:12:27 +0200

In our first part of the schwatzgelb.de interview with defender Mats Hummels, the German champion spoke about his memories on the cup final 2008, his development and future and Borussia Dortmund in general. In the second part, Hummels tells us about how the team gains information about fan issues and his opinion on campaign like "Kein Zwanni". Furthermore, he says what pushes the team the most on the pitch.

Celebration weekend part one!

Even though we still have one more game ahead of us, with accepting the "Schale" one more time, the Bundesliga season 2011/2012 is herewith officially completed and we are- once again- Championship winners.

Record Hunters

schwatzgelb.de — Fri, 04 May 2012 12:57:34 +0200

It is game 34 of Bundesliga season 2011/2012. Like last year, Borussia is already German champion since two weeks. After struggling for some weeks, Borussia has once again dominated the whole Bundesliga, defeated Bayern Munich twice and won the derby twice. How awesome has this season already been? The last defeat is eight freaking months away, Borussia started an impressive run since that match in Hanover. Looking at the stats, this season seems more impressive than the last one. However, there is still one more record to conquer. With a victory against SC Freiburg on Saturday, Borussia can become the best German champion in the history of the Bundesliga.

Mats Hummels: “There are not many clubs as an alternative to the BVB”

schwatzgelb.de — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 22:04:59 +0200

Mats Hummels is one of the “Borussen” which already was a part of the national cup final in 2008, even if he did not field. Under Juergen Klopp, he formed the initially derided “Kinder-Bar” and is now among the EM candidates for the German national squad. In the first part of our interview, we talked with the 23-year old about his memories of the national cup final, his role as a build-up central defender and future perspectives (with or without title).

Celebration Time in Kaiserslautern

schwatzgelb.de — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:55:59 +0200

Borussia Dortmund is the new and old champion of German Bundesliga. That is no news, but since we already won the championship, a match one week later, especially against a club who already is relegated, gets a special touch. Of course, there were still three points at stake and the team is willing to become the best German champion of all time by making it to 81 points at the end of the season. And even though some fans decided to give their tickets away for free in front of the stadium in Kaiserslautern (since those event fans were willing to see Dortmund claiming the title in this match), 10.000 Borussians could be counted on the Betzeberg. And with seven goals in 90 minutes, they surely got some entertainment for their money.

Three more to go...

schwatzgelb.de — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:15:59 +0200

What a week lies behind us. Last weekend Borussia Dortmund managed to become German national champion again with a 2:0 victory against Borussia Moenchengladbach, two matchdays before the end of the season. An extraordinary performance indeed, especially because no one - neither us supporters, nor the media or officials - really thought that Dortmund could defend their title against the 'Force' from Munich this year. However, there are still two more season games to play and after that, one National Cup to win. With two more season victories, starting with this upcoming match against 1 F.C Kaiserlautern, Dortmund could end the season with 81 points in total and thereby equal Bayern Munichs 79 points record from 1973. Nothing really essential, but definitely worth a try and something to look back to proudly after the season.

We're crazy about you, Borussia!

It is day 5 after the game against Gladbach that decided we're champion again. Everyone has calmed down again, at least a bit, and this is why we want to take the opportunity to show you what other supporters felt before the game against Gladbach and still feel. Here are some supporters' voices taken from our forum. Enjoy!

We proudly announce: BVB, German champion 2012!

schwatzgelb.de — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:34:51 +0200

There are no words, neither in German nor English nor any other language, that could in any way describe what has happened yesterday. We all knew it, we’ve all hoped for it, but to actually BE German champion, again, is quite a different thing, although I guess we’ll all need some more weeks to fully understand that this has really happened.

Party Spoilers

schwatzgelb.de — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 21:05:57 +0200

Almost a year ago the blacknyellow army travelled to the Dutch border. It was a glorious Saturday. Up to 20.000 Borussen were to celebrate the first league title of the decade in Gladbach. But Mo Idrissou and Leverkusen spoiled the party. This weekend Dortmund is set for the next Meisterparty. Again the other Borussia will try and spoil the party but we can tell you, BMG! No way you are gonna succeed. Read why:

Aaaand once again: Good night, Blue-White!

schwatzgelb.de — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 17:36:30 +0200

What a weird week this has been. The excitement and joy of Wednesday evening and the victory against Bayern were just about to fade, there comes the derby. So instead of the tiredness that usually follows the huge amount of emotions that accompany such a victory, here we are again, excited and eager to win against an admittedly pretty strong S04. Well, maybe not only to win, but to degrade Blue-White (remember the game in first round?). Winnig the derby almost feels as good as winnig the championship!

15.04.2012, 17:36

Derby Time!

schwatzgelb.de — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 17:35:08 +0200

What a week it has been so far. Everything had been said by the media before the game against Munich, but nothing compared to the emotions that every Dortmundfan felt after the referee called it a day around ten minuted till ten o clok on that Wednesday night.
Euphoric cheering and dancing in our Westfalenstadion, the team in union with the fans- the world stood still for a few minutes and everything seemed to be perfect. But this was just a moment of perfection because soon after, the fans on the Südtribüne made quite clear what they long for next. While the team was still there to celebrate, a loud "we want the Derbyvictory" could be heard through the Westfalenstadion and with this said, or rather chanted, it became visible that this season is just not done, yet.

Hell Yeah!

schwatzgelb.de — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 13:41:01 +0200

Yesterday evening, Dortmund once again showed and proved to all their supporters and football lovers why the heart of German football beats, has always beaten and will always beat in our beloved city, when the current championship leader Borussia Dortmund defeated its closest opponent Bayern Munich with 1-0 in the first peak of the upcoming Bundesliga season finish 2011/2012. Superlatives were not enough to describe the excitement of the media, supporters or club officials before this top clash. However, at the end of the match we can talk about soldiers of fortune, unlucky individuals and the five +2 most intensive minutes of the year.

Three and one reasons for Borussia

schwatzgelb.de — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 22:58:17 +0200

Okay guys, time to take another deep breath before one of the biggest matches of this year's Bundesliga season. Even though the media tend to exaggerate a lot, this game day number 30 could be the decisive one concerning the championship in Germany. Even though we will have four important matches after the big match against Bayern Munich on Wednesday evening, a victory over the record champion could give Borussia enough momentum to secure the retaining of last year's championship. However, some 20 hours before the match, I am not desperate, I am not a basket case, I am really calm. Why? Well, there are several reasons for this feeling.

Wolves did not bite

schwatzgelb.de — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 23:10:57 +0200

The weeks of truth have begun. That is no real news since the intense and incredible draw against Stuttgart last week. However, before the really difficult matches of Borussia against Bayern, Scheisse and Gladbach, Borussia traveled to Wolfsburg in search of another important three points to keep the lead against Bayern until the top match on Wednesday. What can be said about our opponent? Well, I harshly criticized the club trained by Felix Magath in numerous articles before, so I will leave it with that because I don't want to repeat myself. However, the short facts need to be pointed out: It is a club financed by Volkswagen, under the lead of a dark imperator known as Magath and without tradition. It is hardly able to fill its stadium which gives place for around 30.000 people. Plain and simple: There were more than enough reasons to beat this unholy club.

Back to normal day life

schwatzgelb.de — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 20:30:17 +0200

Boy, what a match we saw last weekend. A thrilling 4-4 draw with many changes in the lead and an extratime equaliser by Stuttgart. Nonetheless the black-yellow mates have to go on and make their next stop in Wolfsburg. The Volkswagen-owned team, is on a winning spree with 12 points out of the last 4 matches, so really a tough task.

06.04.2012, 20:30

Oh, what a game!

schwatzgelb.de — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 20:18:12 +0200

Thank God there was a whole weekend to recover from what has happened on Friday evening. Finally, I have stopped trembling with excitement, and you definitely need a calm hand to write down every detail of this insane game, so here's what happened: Joy. Happiness. Anger. Disbelief. Hope. Fear. Disappointment. Laugther. 8 goals, 1 point for our boys. How is that even possible? Here are the details.

Sequels can be better - The weeks of truth II

schwatzgelb.de — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 15:42:00 +0200

Tonight the weeks of truth II start. Between now and mid April, we’ll be meeting opponents such as VfB Stuttgart (7th), VfL Wolfsburg (9th), Scheisse 04 (3rd), Borussia Moenchengladbach (4th) and Bayern Muenchen (2nd). Expectations should be moderate. With five points ahead of Bayern Muenchen and still 21 points out to gain, it is still a long way to go. Contrary to the current focus of Black and Yellow supporters to somehow get tickets to the final league and cup game, the important things still happen on the pitch. So here we are and Stuttgart is up next.

There aint no party like a Dortmund party

schwatzgelb.de — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 17:10:22 +0200

It has been quite a restless week and there was a lot of talking going on in the media, among the fans and basically everywhere someone had something to say concerning our team. Thank Footballgod that our team stayed patient and calm and gave the answers to all the talking during the week on the pitch. Six goals away in Carneval City Cologne were a perfect answer to everything and our boys are right on track again after Bayern and Schalke advanced in the table the day before.
