Watching Borussia Dortmund is like having your wisdom teeth taken out — it’s not fun. But unlike having your wisdom teeth pulled, you don’t get the pleasure of being knocked out and not remembering a single thing.

There is no need for an introduction to this one. It may be early in the season, but it’s still the derby. Schalke will be looking for revenge from the last match and we’ll be looking to get back on track after the Duisburg Debacle.
As I stated here, Sebastian Kehl and Philipp Degen will both […]
