Pulisic with an improvisational assist off a rebound to put Dortmund up 2-1 in the 85th minute needing to win to keep their title hopes alive

Just scored

Terrible decision to red card Marco Fabian today IMO. What was he supposed to do?

Not stomp down directly into a player’s chest while coming down?

 

[Screamindemon3]

Rofl. That was 100% a red card.

Guy slides studs up into him. He jumps in the air to avoid what probably could have resulted in a red card to the opposing player. Not sure it's fair to assume that Fabian can move mid-jump out of the way. He also didn't "stomp," he landed.

Thanks for the contribution, sd3. Insightful as always.

That pass from Saief :bowrofl:

I can still control my legs while I’m in the air. They don’t stop working mid flight. He clearly goes studs into the guys chest on purpose rather than take a “natural landing”. Could have easily avoided him with that leg.

100% rad card

 

[Screamindemon3]

Red card* too. Totally rad

To me it looked like a clear stomp.

 

[BillBrasky]

Yeah that's an intentional stomp and a red all day. He knew exactly what he was doing.

 

[wakephan09]

Definitely intentional. Anybody who has played a sport knows what's it's like to fall naturally

 

[siff]

OK, I will grudgingly surrender. Y'all win. #mexicanbias

I don't know a ton about Baird, Lewis or Ramirez but that's a really uninspiring group of forwards. Is Lima a left back? What about Lovitz?

 

[siff]

Really questionable roster
