This is a very good test match against a strong opposition, I'm really looking forward to it!

Here's what BVB will do in pre-season (updated)

3. Juli - Trainingsauftakt
3. Juli - Beginn Trainingslager in Kirchberg (Österreich)
6. Juli - Ende Trainingslager in Kirchberg (Österreich)

10. Juli - Testspiel beim FC Basel (19:30 Uhr)

20./21. Juli - Telekom-Cup in Gladbach (20.7. gegen Bayern, 21.7. gegen HSV oder BMG)
27. Juli - Supercup in Dortmund gegen den FC Bayern (20:30 Uhr)

I hope Watzke-Zorc-Klopp do the important squad business before the team goes to Austria so Klopp can have all his 100% commited players and the new signings can learn the BVB way in peace. It's important because Klopp likes to have all the players that will play next season ready for training camp where they do the tactics/learning of a new style of play for next season.

Dortmund are playing Schmelzer's ex team 1. FC Magdeburg right now, it's HT: 1-0

Bad goalkeeping by the Magdeburg GK, Bender makes it 2-0!

3:0 Durm, beautiful stuff - Großkreutz found his level what a pass

Did you watch the Saturday match of Dortmund against the fan team lead by Oliver Pocher? That was fun, too!

The fan team actually held a 1:1 for 30 minutes, until they broke down and it ended 9:1 for Dortmund. ^^

FT: 3-0

It's worth mentioning that Klopp played with a 3 man defence with Hummels, Subotic and Kirch in the 2nd half, I found that very interesting.

Perhaps we'll see a 3 man defence with Hummels, Subotic and Sokratis till Piszczek comes back

I only catched the Aubameyang and Sokratis presentation unfortunately.

Next pre-season match is in two days against FC Basel, where we hopefully can see more of Dortmund's 3 man defence against a quality side.

Sport1 will show the test match Basel - BVB live on German free TV starting 19:25 GMT+2

Oh, and it seems http://www.bvbtotal.de/ will stream it for free!

Nice work by Dortmund holding a free stream
I'm hoping for Amini and Langerak to either start of participate throughout one of the preseason games, hopefully more games against tougher opponents.

Sokratis is playing as well btw

Team against Bursaspor: Langerak - Durm, Hummels, Sarr, Bandowski - Gündogan, Sahin - Blaszczykowski, Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang - Lewandowski

Reus is unreal

The new guys Sokratis, Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan seem to be fantastic value again. BVB scouting & Kloppo
