Is the #2 team in the Premier League so beaten down and demoralized by our resounding home victory that they cannot give us trouble in England? Probably not. Plus: it’s Schnitzel Month at Wirtshaus! Please join BVBLA for a long and enjoyable lunch.

It’s 6:30am all this month, but at least it’s always Saturday. Next month, a lot of Fridays and no possibility to get together. I will miss the breakfasts at the Cock ‘n Bull.
Berlin is a bit scary this year, moving up to third place and holding on to it. Join us in beautiful Santa Monica for another pre-sunrise meetup.
A rare Friday night match in Hamburg means we can drop in for lunch at Wirtshaus. They have been a major supporter of the Club and we like to support them in return.
After avoiding relegation last season, Hamburger SV is currently at 11th in the table. Massive improvement and definitely a threat at home.
The biggest match of the season so far. The biggest Derby in the world. We all had to get up and out for a 6:30am meetup at The Cock ‘n’ Bull in Santa Monica. Best showing ever!
I told Marion that I was going for a Kloppo 2014 look lately. She brought me a hat from the BVB shop in Dortmund. Still haven’t gotten the glasses just right, but someday…
Marion also arrived in the winning vehicle of all time, The most beautiful BMW I have ever seen. This car outclassed anything in the parking lot.
As for the match: more excitement than was needed. Ginter to Kagawa was magic. Ginter header was unstoppable. Auba Batman Goal came at exactly the right time. This was a Derby to remember.
Also being celebrated was Armen’s birthday from Saturday. What better celebration than a morning Guinness while Auba scores the winning Goal.
We’ll be back again in two weeks. Stay tuned. Sign up here or follow us on Facebook or Twitter.
Dortmund returns home to meet Augsburg. BVB LA returns to the Cock ‘n’ Bull in Santa Monica. These two teams are on very different trajectories: Dortmund is fighting to remain in touch with Bayern and keep one step ahead of Herne West; Augsburg is struggling to keep out of the bottom spot now held by Stuttgart. BVB fans will watch with guarded optimism.
