Welcome to schwatzgelb.com
It has been some time after the cup final match in Berlin saw the final whistle and the victory of Ballspielverein Borussia from Dortmund. However, even our editors need some time to rest, to dream in disbelief, to celebrate and to collect texts from other parts of the country to create a match report which is hopefully worthy for a match which finalized the double victory. Therefore, we apologize for the pretty late delivery but we are sure that all of you understand the reasons. Have fun with the reports of several Dortmund fans united under one flag - the cup final in Berlin. Read from Henry why Borussia is the missing link between generations, read from our fellow friends from Kent who travelled to Berlin for the big match and read how our two editors Ida and Vanni witnessed the fifth victory in a row against Bayern Munich.The Dortmund fans, meanwhile, raised the roof for their team, even in
defeat. It showed immense
class, or emboldened mass drunkenness, or
perhaps some combination of the two. Which only
made me love them more.

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.
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 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).
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.
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.
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! 
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.
