Bochum have just scored a fantastic goal away to Kaiserslautern in the 2nd Division.
6 seconds werent it?
just like ive mentioned in other threads, the only way to compete long term is by being on a level financial footing. although 6 defeats in 9 games is mainly down to short term variance, dortmund's results over the past few years shows that klopp cannot make dortmund compete against bayern as long as their budget is dwarfed by bayern's. thats not klopp's fault, no-one is able to do that. diego simeone's atleti will no doubt also regress to the mean sooner or later. as will liverpool.
yep, and it's not far enough
Dortmund have done brilliantly over the last decade to rebuild from that mess and do what they have done, but its not a blueprint for continued success, like us they will continue to get the heart ripped out of their side every season
that'll keep em up there, but it won't get them ahead of Bayern
agreed.They won't win trophies as often as Bayern, nobody will under the current system, but they will win occasionally. Below Bayern there are a number of big clubs, but they're fighting over the same resources. Schalke (Gelsenkirchen) and Dortmund are like 15 minutes apart.
I thought they were "doing things the right way" and competing?
