    I see this match as an upset going to BVB. My gut-instinct says 2-1. I think Dortmund's last match was a stepping point for them. We will see if I'm correct.

    My prediction is a draw. BVB's defence is quite ok but we have still problems to score. If we can manage to stop Bremen's strikers, one goal by Koller will be enough for us....1-1.

    I agree, that a draw is very realistic. by the way, how far are you from Dortmund? Did you grow up a BVB supporter?

    Born and grown up 90km east of Dortmund. Now living 500km away (Berlin). As a child (<13) I was not a total BVB supporter (even liked Werder Bremen back then), from season 90/91 black-yellow from head to toe. ;-)

    Very cool story. Do Berliners give you hard time because you are a BVB supporter?

    I pray that this match is on in the USA, but I'm not holding my breath.

    There are quite some BVB supporters here in Berlin. And as Hertha isn't that big deal (compared to 3.45 Mio people living in this city) it is no problem. I can even wear my BVB jersey when playing football on Sundays. ;-)

    We have even some BVB only pubs here in Berlin. My choice is http://www.intertank.org . The barkeeper is a long-time BVB supporter. He has 2 TVs. One is always showing the BVB match, the other one shows the Premiere Saturday conference (means they switch from stadium to stadium). From my seat I can watch both TVs while drinking my favourite beer (of this pub): Grolsch (ok, it's a Dutch beer, but still quite ok).

    You sound like a very cool football supporter. I thought Grolsch was Danish? I have had it...not bad. How Borussia Dortmund matches do you watch a year...either in person or on tv?

    Grolsch is from the Netherlands.


    Umpf...diffcult to say. Since living in Berlin I guess I make 5 home matches (season ticket ;-) and equally many away matches. Almost every other match I watch on TV (pay-TV in pub, free-TV at home). I miss only a few matches due to holidays or when I have really plenty of work to do.


    (edit: This season I have so far seen:
    - Lübeck (away, cup)
    - Hanover (home, league)
    - Bayern (home, league)
    - Hertha (away, league)
    - Hanover (away, cup)
    )

    WOW! That's impressive, you really are a devoted/passionate Borussia Dortmund supporter!
