Red card was abolished straight away today.
wow a ref with a conscience, good job but it still sucks for the team losing a player in the first minute...
arent most refs like that? to be fair the refs have to work with limited knowledge and use their discretion when it comes to determining fouls. they get inputs from assistants but they dont have slow replay, multiple angles and most of all, the players know this and use it to their advantage. this is football. the unfairness, dramatic and infuriating stuff is all part of the game.
i honestly think football refs get so little respect for what they have to go through.

But then you see the goal they conceded today... there is just nothing more to say after watching a scene like this. If someone told you these players are current World Champions or CL-finalists from 18 months ago, you should laugh at him because he must be lying.
What the hell just happened to that team?
I'm really surprised at how little of a deal Dortmund's failures are. We see the occasional "What's wrong with Dortmund?" piece, but I really can't think of a team with this much talent, power, prestige, and money ever failing like this.
With all that said, I think I've said this earlier; this team is just bad. There is absolutely nothing good about BVB anymore and they aren't doing a single thing at an acceptable level for a professional team, let alone a Champions League team. There is complete and utter failure at every possible level in this team, from basic technique to tactics to coaching, and blame falls on everyone. Not one person on this team looks even remotely good; not Hummels, not Reus, not Gündogan, not Klopp, Not Kampl, no one at all. You can't trust a single person on this team to connect a basic fucking pass, let alone get a shot on goal or connect a through-ball/cross or finish a decent opportunity. You could actually write a 15-page paper dissecting everything that is wrong with this team.
I think for people that only casually follow Dortmund's results, the season just seems weird. The only games I've seen have been in Champion's League and they've looked fine against strong opposition. They have a pretty favorable matchup against Juve and, judging by the talent in the squads alone, stand a decent shot at advancing. With all that said, I don't think many people outside Bundesliga fans truly appreciate the suck. ESPN even recently released an article talking about how good Dortmund's January transfer window was (on the basis of holding on to their quality players).
I think most casuals (myself included) just expect that eventually they'll turn it around in the league and finish top half. Without actually watching what sound like godawful league performances, it's hard to fully appreciate how bad you guys say they are.

I hope you arent serious...
Juve have better players in every single position.

Obviously on current form Juve is better across the board :p . I was just talking about "quality" in terms of what we've seen from these players over the last couple seasons. If everyone plays near their potential, it will be an enthralling matchup.
You hate to see this kind of thing happen with a club that gets that kind of support. BVB have always been the lovable guys of the league too. Good for them to go talk to the crowd.

ESPN is a fucking joke of a sports news network. The only good thing about them is the actual show, ESPNFC. The website is utter trash, too. Completely English/American-centric and reporting utter nonsense constantly.
And Ramos is injured for around 3 weeks. Yeah, the strategy is working. Break Real Madrid's legs and they can't beat you. Sevilla was just pathetic yesterday and I don't have any doubts that Atletico will follow up with even dirtier performance.
Just wow o_O He didn't even touch the guy, and even if he had it still wouldn't have been a red o_O
I think if that tackle hits 100%, this is definitly red. But yeah, should be yellow for the guy in yellow for faking
Well I am of the opinion that you don't need to hit anyone to get a red card... a dangerous tackle not hitting anyone is also adequate for red if you ask me. This was no red card of course ...
