[!@#$%!]

ah shit, a fun dortmund-gladbach game ended 1-0. lots of opportunities, and the score conceals the action. beautiful goal by reus with a curved top shot that looked like it would fly past then hit the goalpost and went in. the keeper didn’t see it coming.

a lot of personnel changes in dortmund since i last saw them. auba was replaced by a chelsea loaner—batuyi... something. a pity, not the same quality player. new defenders too—bartra is gone (to betis) and there are 2 names there i don’t know. the new coach used to be in cologne for years— i can’t remember his name cuz my wife calls him “chet”. ha ha ha. peter something. weigl and pulisic still there so that’s great.

on good news gotze started today and looks well recovered. played along reus and schurrle in what looks like a german national team formation. gotze wasn’t in top form but was able and didn’t appear like his muscles were malfunctioning at all.
