Why didn't Pulisic shoot inside the goal? That was a combo of a cross and a shot. Seemed to be in between two minds. He could have been the hero there.
It's just sad, BvB is just not a championship team. They had all the chances in the world to run away with the title, but they didn't. Sancho and Reus deserved the title. They worked hard, and played extremely well all season. I
Dortmund looks like an interesting team, not the top team in the league. And that is how it will play out.
Everyone talks about Sancho, but he hasn't showed up for a big game yet. He's still very young, but for now, he's nothing special when he is not athletically superior to the defense.
You can't deny his goals and assists this season. I like to see what he can do the next season or two.
His best game in a year, and maybe his best half ever. That was so needed, such a relief, and a great way to wind down an epic BVB run. Good on ya, lad. (Or whatever British kids say these days)
Agreed, part of the diva soccer culture. Bah humbug. And hate seeing it from one of our own. <get off my lawn>
...hmm, with his frame... ... won't he lose 5 or so years of his soccer life (& $$$) if he DOESN'T do that strategically?
Nah....you're not going to score all that goals or have all that assists if you're keeping falling to the ground at the slightest touch. Messi and Hazard are not that much bigger than Puli. Neymar could have been great, but he just loves to hug the grounds too much.
Messi - 159 Hazard - 168 Pulisic - 139 That might overstate the real difference, but you can eyeball it and see a difference (and Messi is a few inches shorter than Puli). Both of those guys are 'thicker' and have lower centers of gravity than he does.
