This one is tough to predict. Though Wolfsburg should be favourites we totally dominated them in Westfalenstadion. We should have crushed them 5-0 at least (no joke) but lost 2-1! :-(

We have some injured players back and Wolfsburg defence isn't that good. On the other hand their forwards are superb, especially Martin Petrow (left-winger, left attacking midfielder) is awesome.

Very hard one to call. Hopefully the winter break did us good, but with this team, you never know.

I'm hoping for a 1-1 draw.

Fuck, we won 2-1 in Wolfsburg. Cool match and I have seen the first performance of a TEAM since months. At least 4.000 BVB fans in Wolfsburg and millions on the TVs were send to heaven by this result. Smolarek gave a 9-minute-first-goal-welcome-party.........I am still rocking.

What a great result to wake up to this morning. I was kind of snowed in all day, because in the greater New York area and the Northeast of the United States a snowstorm was hitting us for the whole day. Happy to see the team get a result, and hopefully the club can build on this.

Here we go.....

Finally Borussia is playing football again
(Desperado09/Jakob/Mihi) Thanks to Ebi Smolarek! With the help of the new forward, Borussia seems to be back playing football. Ebi scored the first goal, followed by Jan Koller to beat Wolfsburg on their home pitch two – one....

The best signings are always the ones who integrate themselves into the team quickly and produce almost from the get go. If Metzelder and Koller can be consistent too, there could be some serious hope for BVB.
