Winning Tuesday night's match will be bittersweet for me. I was one of the biggest Jürgen Kohler fans. So much so that I was in tears as I stood in the Westfalenstadion's Südtribune while Kohler stood clapping before us at the end of his farewell match.

Kicking the great one's ass will not feel good, but we'll do what we have to do.


BVB.com: We Get Going Again On Tuesday - Jürgen Kohler and MSV Are Coming

Good preview on the site, Kevin.

It will be great to see Juergen return, but all sentimentality is gone...unless we win, of course.

For people who were able to watch the Schalke game, did Gambino and Degen perform well? I know these are guys whose improvement need to keep progressing so will we see them against Duiberg or their respective replacements?

Duisberg are a dangerous side. One whom we should beat of course, but a team whose talent can surprise and beat some top sides. We have to be careful with this one. This is a game for our question marks (Degen, Gambino and even Sahin) to improve even more.

2-0

BVB wins (hopefully )

Looks like Duisberg seem to also have an issue with giving up late goals, at least based on their last game. Don't go anywhere the last ten minutes...

Dortmund are now in sixth place...pretty amazing for a team with so much troubles on and off the pitch.

Are they calling Brzenska "Brenner" now? Not being "smart", just asking the question.

Either way, according to "Kicker", the first goal was assisted by Degen and the penalty Rosicky converted was after Degen took the ball after a Duisburg chance on BVB's end and sprinted with the ball alone all the way down the pitch in on Duisburg's keeper Koch. Tobias Willi caught up with Degen, fouled him in the area, and saw the red card.

How about that? Maybe Degen is improving and helping the team eh?? LOL!!

Maybe only until tomorrow. Depends on what happens between Stuttgart and Bremen.

I think most of the credit has to go to our amazing trainer.

We've always had the talent, but once we got rid of that HACK Sammer, it took awhile, but the players started to believe in their trainer and in one another again and it's starting to show.
