    McKennie and Pulisic have been bright.

    That was a surprising free kick.

    Not sure what BD was thinking in how they set up on that free kick.

    Weston with the dribble drive and picks up the foul at the top of the box. Naldo with the conversion.

    Royal Blues 2 - Sickly Yellow Team 0. Party time, party time!!!!

    I'm going to make an emotionally-driven, hyperbolic statement: Naldo might be the most under-appreciated player in Europe.

    I like that about our US players in these matches. THey are not afraid to face goal and run with the ball. Bobby would (sic) was great at this until he received his new contract / married. Now he's a pussy cat.

    McKennie has made two important runs in this match. One created the free kick goal.

    Another couple good crosses in from Pulisic. His teammates just aren't coming up with good strikes off of them.

    88’ Pulisic with a nice left footed switch to Gotze, who then does nothing with it sadly.

    nice pulldown/cushion by CP in the box between two players, but Schalke has like 16 guys playing D and BVD can't get an inch.

    That's not fair or accurate. Goetze crossed it behind Dort attackers, out of 18 to a Schalke player.

    Reus and CP combining well...love to see these guys continue to play together for a few more years.

    Dortmund's in trouble if Batshuayi is out for any length of time. They could still drop out of the UCL spots.

    There is a comic about this right?

    About the Death of Batman.

    Edit: He will return.

    If he's actually injured I take it all back. Looked like drama to me, but he's really keeping up the act.

    BvB forgot how to shoot today.

    They had their chances, but every shot was weak, off target, or right at the keeper.

    FT: Schalke win 2-0. Great appearance from McKennie who created the second goal. Pulisic did all he could and there is always next week.

    Can't remember ever seeing a manager so thoroughly destroy a teams spirit and play. He single handedly killed the dream of Dortmund.
