Who is Terrence Boyd? Oh you know just another member of the nü wäve of young Afro-Germericans™ that is doing his thing in Deutschland. Things like scoring 6 goals in 6 games for the Borussia Dortmund reserve team. It may only be the reserves but since the only other striker on the planet with an American passport and club form like that right now is Jozy Altidore I'm going to big him up.

Oh God! What does one say after a game like that. Great fighting spirit and a gritty display for a well-earned away point at a difficult venue? Terrible performance that shows the Gunners just aren't good enough anymore? I guess it depends on one's mentality and the spin that suits it. As mentioned in the preview, I wasn't expecting a win but a more assured performance would have been encouraging for the future.

We love when 'ballers and WAGs appear amongst the pages of our must read mags, and in the case of Mats Hummels and Cathy Fischer, we're absolutely delighted to see them banded together and blocking invasive lenses for the sake of 'fashion' in this month's German GQ.

The Borussia Dortmund man has been widely praised for his skills on the pitch and, judging by this photo shoot and his smoldering gazes, he'll be receiving a different kind of praise soon enough.

I know that the majority of our problems are defensive ones, and we actually looked OK going forward yesterday, but I have to ask where is Chu Young Park? He was on the bench for the games against Swansea City and Borussia Dortmund, but he did not get on as Marouane Chamakh came on as [...]

We love when 'ballers and their respective WAGs appear between the pages of our must read mags, and in the case of Mats Hummels and Cathy Fischer, we're absolutely delighted to see how these lovebirds have banded together to block invasive camera lenses for the sake of 'fashion' in this month's German GQ.

Arsenal face Borussia Dortmund in the first group match of the Champions League tomorrow night. Here, German football writer Bernd Schmidt evaluates the opposition awaiting the Gunners...

Borussia Dortmund were the talk in Germany last season as they raced away with their seventh Bundesliga title and first since 2002.

Limbering up for the next challenge

Normally that would mean that the team is flying. Not necessarily in a physical form but in terms of form, confidence and results. A good continuous run of positive results would probably equate to a team in flying condition. In this instance, I'm referring "full flight" to the numbers and quantity.

The Game Considered by many as the toughest opposition in Pot D, Borussia Dortmund tomorrow host Arsenal in what will hopefully be an entertaining game of football. It is not easy to predict what will happen tomorrow ...

Arsenal visit Dortmund, the self-professed football capital of the world, to open a Champions League group phase that promises to be the toughest one in recent years. BVB are by far the best team from the fourth pot and could quite possible provide a sterner challenge than the other two teams in the group.

Arsenal travel to Borussia Dortmund to kick off the Champions League group stage tonight. Facing the German champions after a challenging start to the season and a crucial if somewhat underwhelming 1-0 win at the Emirates against Swansea City on Saturday is a tough task, but that's the scenario. No use wishing what might have been.

Song gives the thumbs up for this return

Champions League returns. Not the rubbish play-off but the actual proper group stage. One that we are participating in the 14th consecutive season. That is one hell of a record of consistently being one of the top teams in Europe. I won't argue if you say that the re-branded top European competition now extends to non champions of individual leagues as well.

The captain meeting his future team mate?

First Champions League match out of the way then. Draw was the final result and it was a fair reflection on the game. Both sides went about with their usual tactics but the home side had the upper hand of things in most parts. Like I said yesterday, I would take a draw if it was given to me.

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has risked his reputation, particularly in Germany, by claiming that he is unaware of Borussia Dortumund starlet Mario Gotze's rapid emergence due to a lack of interest in the Bundesliga.

Ronaldo, who is no stranger to controversy following a high-profile stint with Manchester United, claims that he does not even know Gotze's preferred position and went as far as asking reporters if the recently capped Germany international is even good enough to be in the spot light.

Save that could have bigger implications later

It's Friday and that means only one more day to Premier League football. We are visiting Ewood Park tomorrow to play Blackburn Rovers. Although this comes directly after the Champions League tie away to Dortmund and this being an early fixture, I believe there's ample time for the players to recover from their midweek exertions.

Juan Mata has made a nice impression since joining Chelsea this past summer, but if he is to influence the Blues' next match, he'll do so at the expense of his former employer.

Borussia Dortmund v Arsenal

This looks like a tough start for the Gunners, especially on the back of their heavy defeat
at the hands of Manchester United in the Premier League. Current Bundesliga Champions
Borussia Dortmund are quietly fancied to do well in this season's Champions League
following some excellent performances in their domestic league last season.

Saturday EPL on ESPN2: Sunderland - Chelsea at 10am. On Fox Soccer: Arsenal - Swansea City at 10am, Bolton - Manchester United at 12:30pm, and Manchester City - Wigan at 5pm. Fox Soccer Plus has Stoke - Liverpool at 10am, Wolverhampton - Spurs at 2:30pm, and Everton - Aston Villa at 4:30pm. Championship on Fox Soccer Plus: Coventry City - Derby County at 12pm.

Fortunately, now that the strikes are over, we finally have a full slate of action in world football, featuring the return of the Italian Serie A to the television stage. At this point, for the first time in a long time, all of the major domestic leagues in the world are in action at the same time.

Emma, the star of Borussia Dortmund

Germany, Borussia Dortmund-Hertha Berlin 9:30amET (GolTV): Dortmund were the surprise stars of the Bundesliga last season, running away with the title. They did sell young Turkish-German midfielder Nuri Şahin to Real Madrid, but hung on to 19yo midfielder Mario Götze, despite interest from Bayern Munich and ManU.

Inter Milan kicked off the new Serie A season with a defeat and there was frustration elsewhere for European champions FC Barcelona, but the goals continue to flow for Mario Gomez and Wayne Rooney as the duo helped respective sides Bayern Munich and Manchester United record big wins.

Italy
Inter were hoping to make the most of Friday's 2-2 draw for champions AC Milan against Lazio, but Inter were upset 4-3 away to against Palermo, despite two goals for Diego Milito and a first for summer signing Diego Forlán.

With the UEFA Champions League group stages kicking off less than 48 hours, many of Europe's most distinguished clubs had one eye on the midweek and consequently, they were punished for not being fully focused on their league opponents.

It all started on Friday night with AC Milan dropping two points at home to Lazio in the Serie A's opening fixture of the season.

Franck Ribery loves life without Louis. And it starts to show on the pitch. One of the best games of the French winger in a while. Robbery sounds great on paper. In reality it was usually about Arjen Robben cutting inside and scoring decisive goals, while Ribery was doubled, frustrated and ineffective.

On Tuesday, Arsenal will look to build on the good result against Swansea, as they get set to to begin the next phase of Europe's premier club competition, the UEFA Champions League. Up first for ...

After a home game that was tougher than it probably should be, we're now in a week where we play two away games which are going to provide real tests to a squad still finding its feet.

Blackburn away next Saturday is never an easy game while tomorrow night our Champions League campaign kicks off in Germany against Borussia Dortmund.

The Borussia Dortmund central defender Neven Subotic has declared that his team must step up in order to have a chance to defeat Arsenal in the upcoming Champions League game from Tuesday. The German side will face English side Arsenal Tuesday in what will be the first game in the "F" Group of this season's [.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger travelled to Germany with eighteen players ahead of tomorrow's Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund. Midfielder Aaron Ramsey is out after suffering an ankle injury on Saturday against Swansea City with midfielder ...

Morning all,

Champions League action tonight and we begin our campaign away at German champions Borussia Dortmund. From our point of view the team news is that Aaron Ramsey and Tomas Rosicky are added to our midfield injury list (quite the collection at the moment) but there are returns to the squad for Alex Song and Gervinho, both of whom have been domestically suspended for their Bartonary indiscretions.

Champions League Preview: Real and Barca the teams to beat - originally posted on Soccerlens.com

It seems that in almost every aspect of the game, two clubs dominate the footballing world. They are Spanish super heavyweights Real Madrid and Barcelona. Any team boasting multiple stars is said to echo Real's Galactico era, while teams from League Two to the K-League are said to be a mini-Barcelona.

You'll never Walk Alone has always been my favourite football anthem, it reminds me of the wonderful Liverpool teams of the 60′s/70′s and Bill Shankly and the Kop and black and white TV and my first visit to Anfield. It is THE football anthem. Why am I writing about YNWA? Well, because it is Borussia Dortmund's anthem, and I have a feeling that with 80,000 Germans singing and cheering on their young and extremely talented side our boys in Red are going to be feeling very alone.

Any trip to the Westfalenstadion is daunting. Even if Borussia Dortmund are not playing well, the fans inside the 80,000 capacity stadium echo a hellish noise from the Südtribüne. Arsenal are not only taking on this tonight, they are also taking on the German Champions. The task is immense and recent form shows that the [.
