Mainz v. Dortmund Without Bosz: A Preview

I've been freaking out the last two days because I'm probably going to start writing for one of the big BVB fan sites, and I'm terrified I'm going to screw it up and write dogshit articles.

But it will come. You can only beat so many defenders and deliver so many good passes before you or your teammates start to find the back of the net. Other impressions from last night game: Though Dortmund looked their usual selves during the first 15 minutes, they did play some great football for at least 30 min. of the game.
