    Hello everyone.Hope you and your families have survived the situation so far
    Well cant complain when you win against a strong side like frankfurt ob the road
    But am not sure if we didnt score those 2 early goals while frankfurt was less ready to get their feet on the ground solid...what would have we done??
    lost 2 or 3 empty 110% scoring situtations..one of them which the goalie wasent even close to the line...poor scoring technique.
    Also i still believe we need a PK specialist.We are still weak when it comes to set-pieces and corners and of course PK's
    Otherwise it was 3 important points so...
    ;):p:thumbsdown::eek::rolleyes::whistling::alien::alien::ninja::devilish::devilish:
    You all know i hate Dortmund now more than ever with their cheasy girlie man coach ( just my opinion rubs the same way as cowards do) yes i even dont mind Hollywood...as much as i do BVB.In order to finish above them lets home we take care of business with our cardboard fans next weekend against Neverkusen...and go from there!

    Talking about Rose and how he looks...correct me if am wrong.He only lacks a Grey blue U-Boat leather jacket and u boat captain's soft shell hat...he reminds me of those kind of Naval officers of the Kriegsmarine...something like Jurgen Prochnow in Das Booto_O:ninja::ninja::sneaky:

    I've thought about sending a photo in to the guys that are putting cardboard fans in the stands....

    at the end it's a question of style ;-)

    seems they are way behind in the completion of the orders, so possibly you wouldn't 'have made' it in time... 12.000 should be there I read


    unfortunately Werder wasn't of much help yesterday... we face them on matchday 28 and they didn't look highly dangerous at all... other than L'kusen... saturday will be extra tough... I would prefer to play at Bayern ;-)
    "Gladbach is currently achieving very good results and performing very well ... which is why it absolutely is a top game that we want to win and, in my opinion, have to win." (quote Kai Havertz, probably a forthcoming soccer-superstar who scored twice yesterday... his coach wasn't impressed at all)

    Well, it's not free, so I don't know how they would accept money. Bank transfers are too expensive.

    It looks like it is bank transfers from the article, but you have to upload a picture first to get to those screens--taken by your computer camera (I think it's actually set up more for smart phones).

    not sure if they all looked like Prochnow... and his boat got sunk at La Rochelle; I want us to stay UP!
    anyway, different people, different style-impressions ;-)
    “Usually coaches have no style at all. But he always pays attention to his clothes. The shirt looks out below, or the t-shirt. It has style. Really, the man has class."
    (Marcus Thuram)
    seems this Rose is a very multi-layered guy... I heard the 'wimmen' also find him 'absorbing' (and Milan, too, lame rumors say)

    while the restart is widely seen as success so far, the 'back to the roots'-choir is still growing day by day:
    "The entire business has to question itself. A 'keep it up' can't and shouldn't be the answer“
    "We need more sustainability, down-to-earthness and above all humility."
    it‘s important that "these sky-rocketed transfers-sums and salaries drop to a healthy and normal level"
    "These insane sums are rightly viewed critically by society. This has led to an estrangement from soccer."
    "Now we are all challenged so that professional soccer does not burst like a soap bubble but instead stands on a healthy foundation in the future. And that includes a certain external image."
    „We have all noticed how quickly big, professional soccer, which everyone looks up to, can start to crumble. We should never forget that: it can always go the other way - and it can happen quickly. "

    Lutz Pfannenstiel, director of sports, D‘dorf

    let's wait and see if this is only Sunday-school-singing or if it's penetrating everyday life... Pfannenstiel and Eberl (and some others) though aren't the kind of slick chatterboxes we recognize so often in different parts of public life...

    took a short look, payment methods per eMail after the upload... don't know why they make secret of it... but PAYPAL should do I guess, or isn't this possible from the U.S. to Europe?

    anyway: mindbreaking, thrilling, overwhelming, terrific, fabulous... BREAKING NEWS!
    ZAK is gonna stay!!!
    acc. to SportBILD (I'll never mention them again, if this isn't true)
    Ginter also pointed out that there is no reason to leave...

    I don't... and welcome!
    not sure how often testing leads to announcements... also, because of the C-thing, most likely all contract negotiations has been halted in the last weeks...

    Gotta talk to the boss (Mrs KG) about it....and figure out which shirt to wear. Either my Kasey Keller shirt or my match worn Michael Bradley one (might get Mrs KG to wear my matchworn Bobadilla--in which he scored a goal at the game we attended).

    I would go for Kasey! and Boba for Mrs KG... but still I hope you are not gonna take pics of your backs ;-)

    RP isn't so sure SportBild is right about Zak... for the moment :-((((((((((((((((((((

    Did it--we'll see if they give me an alternate payment (it had bank transfer info in it). I wore my Rob Friend autographed hat, my Keller scarf, and to top it off, my erdgas Puma jersey (making Naz jealous!). It kinda fit (shoulders and arms and chest ok) but was a little short in the length....

    We did not get one for Mrs, KG, though. But she approved mine.

    Found some more information and a couple photos.

    Gregory Cook
    Born: January 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada
    Current club: Downtown Las Vegas SC
    Position: Striker/Winger
    Note: Scored more than 50 goals last season.

    I’m sick of all the young American talent going to Dortmund and Schalke. It would be great to see a few Americans joining Joe Scally at the Borussia-PARK.

    On another note, did anyone watch any of the Sunday matches where they used soundtracks of fans during the broadcast? Although I love the cutouts, I’m not so sure about the artificial crowd sounds.

    I'm sure we would have won against L'kusen if you would have made it in time ;-)
    hope it worked out at the end (I guess you noticed that you can search for 'yourself' when you click on the 'block' you have chosen)


    this sucks, a fake is a fake is a fake... a good reason to do it like Klopp: he usually turns off the volume all the time because everything other than the match is distracting...
    then again I'm not analyzing matches like him and currently you sometimes become aware of some interesting 'vocal' interaction on the field or more often at the sidelines which you would miss with a REAL crowd (or the volume turned off)




    some rumors regarding 'talents' and one completion: Lockl (DM/OM) from Stuttgart is joining U23 (don't know how big a talent he is, but he played several Uxx-matches for Germany and is team captain of an A-junior-Bundesliga-side)
    speaking of U23 (the 'other' team was a little bit disheartening recently): not sure if the job ad contained the line ‘CL-experience required’ but if it did the club seems to be aiming high! ;-)))
    anyway: Heiko Vogel is replacing Arie van Lent at the U23
    Vogel has won the Championship & the Cup in Switzerland, the Cup in Austria and has 14 CL-matches to his coaching-credit …

    I haven't gotten anything back from them after the initial message.... :( I did not choose a section--and I did not notice anything about a page where you could "look" at yourself. Link?

    I'll note that I did find the site where the pictures are. They also noted that they have had so many e-mails, that they simply cannot answer them all. That's likely why I've not heard from them.

    Well, with today's results, a win tomorrow almost seals a spot in Europe (we likely have one anyway). We're 11 points ahead of 6th and 7th with only 5 to play for them. The only question is Europa League or Champions League. It's really hard to say, but Wolfsburg losing helps.

    Two things i worry the most
    1. Friday night games...which we haven't been any good at it and if my mind serves me right...we must have a very bad balance during them
    2. Especially against Freiburg of the black forest and Dieter Streich...he is a tough coach and teams he has coached always get a good result for against us...ill leave our track record against Streich and Co alone...b/c the 2 points mentioned above are already good enough to pretty much make a very educated guess about the result!:whistling::alien::cautious::ninja::speechless:

    Hope u guys are all safe and healthy:thumbsup:

    here is an interesting article about the topic (and Tikus) by one of Germany's best soccer-writers:
    https://www.sueddeutsche.de/sport/marcus-thuram-borussia-moenchengladbach-1.4927109

    I saw them last week against L'kusen... the Bosz-boys were very lucky to get away with 3 points... Christian Streich was really pissed because F'burg had the things under control most of the time (and then: Havertz again) ... not everybody's darling but certainly a coach who can build a team (out of nobodies)... and Streich's record against us? let's not talk about this!... Rose didn't want to either, he just ordered his guys to load the cannons, all of them... (keep your powder dry, guys! well soccer and the military jargon that's a story of it's own ;-)

    bad weeds grow tall and sturdy...

    sorry I didn't answer earlier, took an internet-break over the Pentecost-weekend and had some busy days afterwards... whole thing is organized by the fan-project I believe, so it's not super-professional and profit-oriented... heard they can handle 500 eMail-orders a day (most likely the two? supported local print shops even less than that)... hope next match you'll be there!

    EL before start of the season? everybody would have signed immediately.... but after all the time we spent at the top (1-4)? and with 56 points after just 29 matches (best record since the 3-point-rule started)? the dropping height is indisputable! much more comfortable to come from behind like L'kusen... but we've lost the crucial game and still are ahead of them ... wafer-thin but ahead...
    Zak is really missing (& Embolo too, at leastas a special weapon)

    Doucouré finally played his first Bundesliga minutes for Borussia (everybody cried!)

    eternal Oscar stays for another season, I like that

    bye, the game is on, no cannon sound so far...

    Watching now.... We have the better of the play. But we've heard that tune in Freiburg before.
