The Daily Bee: Various BVB Players Earn International Call-ups

The Revierderby is right around the corner, and even across the ocean, the tension is palpable. Every single member of BVB’s front office is hyping up the game, demanding a winning result from the Black-and-Yellows:

There’s an international break around the corner, and while we still have the Revierderby to look forward to before that, I figured I might as well give an overview of the break. Many Borussia Dortmund players will be representing their countries in friendlies and the UEFA Nations League:

• Julian Brandt, Niklas Sule, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Marco Reus will represent the German National Team.
• Thomas Meunier and Thorgan Hazard will represent Belgium.
• Gio Reyna has been called up for the USMNT.
• Jude Bellingham made the England squad.
• Salih Ozcan made the Turkey squad.

As always, let us engage in a dance to pray to the soccer gods that none of these players hurt themselves while on international duty.

I was under the impression that salt beef was the type of food relegated to ration packs for civil war soldiers that needed to be slow-roasted on a bayonet over an open flame to be edible, not something a modern football stadium can get away with selling.

What should BVB sacrifice to the soccer gods to avoid injury during the international break? I would suggest a goat, but I wouldn’t want to risk offending Hennes the GOAT.
