Ignorant patriotism got me interested in Borussia Dortmund when Christian Pulisic signed there at 16 years old. We got a chance to see them play in Pittsburgh in the summer of 2018. When Pulisic left for Chelsea in 2019, it was too late for me, I had already put down roots and picked my Bundesliga team. Lucky for me they keep bringing on exciting young talent that make them a joy to watch. Not a real threat to Bayern, but still a joy.
Two things are worth watching in their season opener.
Haaland running 35kph (21mph) to score, as 10ft tall human goal scoring anomaly
They got another kid from America, Giovanni Reyna, who is 17 and scored the first goal
