8/26: Dortmund (Pulisic) vs. RB Leipzig (Marsch, coach)

The build up play for both sides is not exactly great.

 

I don't understand why the announcer keeps talking about how good the cross was on the goal, calling it inch perfect. Dahound had one of the trickiest headers I've seen scored since it was behind him.

 

20 assists? we can only dream.

 

After looking shaky, Burki makes a huge save on a 1-1, just slapping the ball aside.

 

Burki finally made a saved, should have been 1-2 for RB

 

What a save by Bürki

 

RBL have learned a lot from Jesse Marsh. Good for them!

 

This Delaney guy looks like shit. Dahoud can't keep the ball. Need a CM switch asap.

 

very impressed by the Dortmund game plan of passing the ball all the way back down field to their keeper, having him hoof it, fighting for possession and sending it back to do it again. That's genius.

 

Pulisic again on the receiving end of a touch challenge. Should be a yellow card.

 

Also, CP is taking many set pieces.

and an own-goal off the FK won by Pulisic!

 

heh... not quite on replay

 

Reus made it look so easy with the deflection.

BvB 2-1

 

OMGOMGOMG. What a bicycle kick. Pulisic sends in the corner, header is saved, and then a bicycle from some dude with an afro.

 

Damn lol

 

Announcer: "Sometimes you create your own luck."

I hate when people say this. If you are creating it, it isn't luck.

 

Pulisic delivered a goal from a corner kick

 

Damn Pulisic's corner was a beauty!

 

Won't get an assist but great service from the corner.

 

Pulisic fouled again. Is this the 100th time he's been fouled?

 

And then he's fouled again, and his knee hurts.

 

Bah, luck is the residue of proper planning. But it's still good fortune.

 

Bradley should be banned from taking corner kicks for the USMNT.
