To forget the Bielefeld match ASAP.... We HAVE TO win this one, and we will. I am predicting an unexpected 4-1!
Wow a 4 goal outburst? That would certainly be a surprise following consecutive goose eggs. I hope you're correct good sir!
4-1? That kind of result is definitely what is needed. A goalfest to reaffirm that our boys are definitely capable of scoring. We HAVE to iron out the toothless attack and Mainz is just the side to do it against. 4-1 could definitely happen. Get that confidence back into the side!
Gentenaar will do just fine. I say we win 2-0. Smolarek and Rosicky finally score again....... Unless Mainz' defense is really horrible, I don't see BVB scoring anymore than two goals. Well, possibly three if Amoah wants to show he's for real!
Wow a lot of snow in Germany from pictures my uncle has sent me out of Wiesbaden. Will the matches be able to go forward this weekend??
News unfortunately that Rosicky will miss the match with a groin injury sustained against Turkey... http://www.football.co.uk/news/dortmund_dealt_double_blow_223405.shtml
You know, that was posted to the list this morning. I can't believe I missed it!! I'm just not good at being optimistic!! LOL!! PS - Change "Rosicky" to "Sahin"!!
Conor Casey will make the Mainz bench for the first time since May. Nothing personal against any Dortmunders, but I do hope he gets in the game and gets one against his old club.
We quickly covered his reappearance on the list a day or two ago with a story from Bundesliga.de. Casey had his chance to score against us last season and blew it. Back then, I hoped he scored a hat-trick, but we would win 5-3. Now, I want him to get in and score his ass off, but AFTER this weekend!
he might have a hard time next week against Kasey Keller when Gladbach goes to Mainz. but I will be there nonetheless to see how it goes.
* Borussia Dortmund 1-1 Mainz * Fulltime. I'll wait until seeing highlights before commenting further, but needless to say that with the greatest respect to Mainz this is two points lost this afternoon.
