[edit] Marc Heitmeier

I'm pretty sure Marc Heitmeier is still in the squad, squad number 26; or was he transferred to another club? 58.168.59.213 09:06, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dates & dashes

En dashes should be used in scorelines and only full dates and dates with a day and month should be wikilinked, including in the footnotes. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dashes) and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers). Epbr123 20:46, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

After reviewing the style manual links you provided: the wikilinking of years appears to be something that is up in the air and looks to depend on the preference of various editors; there is no reference at all to the use of dashes in sports scores that I could see - the use of a colon is a common convention in German football, and so can at least be said to fit the context in the absence of a hard and fast rule. ???

[edit] How is it pronounced?

I've heard a number of (English Language) sports desk journalists pronounce the team name "bo - rouge - ah" (accent on the 2nd syllable) however, whilst visiting Dortmund recently, a number of local (German speaking) fans I spoke with pronounced it "bo - rue - zee - ah" (accent on the 3rd syllable)... leaving me to ask the question "how is it really pronounced? - or, more accurately, how should it be pronounced?". Presumably, what is true for Dortmund is true for nearby team Borussia Monchengladbach? Ndsci 04:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello, you always pronounce the second syllable, no matter which team it is, and end with a "ja" sound. However, if you "sing" it, it can get 4 syllables with a long aaah! at the end. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.48.139.149 (talk) 16:14, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
