Good luck to them, should be much closer than 25 points.

the extended... And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead metaphor at the beginning of that is one of the weirdest bits of sports journalism I've ever read.

Yeah though, dortmund aint out of the race, bayern can only field 11 players, pep also could be regarded as having very little experience with implementing a rotation that will get the best out of his players.

Gomez's injury might have something to do with this.

brilliant, fun interview with Klopp.

J?rgen Klopp: Borussia Dortmund are 'worth falling in love with' | Football | The Guardian

nice news to here he's signed a contract until 2018, I absolutely cannot see him leaving before then. to be honest, I don't know where he'd go anyway, to be honest, given the increasing strength of germany, both technically and financially, staying at Dortmund will be even more appealling in 5 years.

Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller wins first German call-up - ESPN FC

Have always been surprised that Weidenfeller hasn't been regular for Germany long before now. This call-up is long overdue.
