what, re: Robben with his back against goal?

christ, if showing your ass to the goalie was a "goal-scoring opportunity", I'd make for a great striker.

I don't think he was with his back to the goal. In any case, I find the red card a bit too much as the contact wasn't excessive.

That's the thing. It doesn't matter how soft is the contact. If there's a foul, which was obviously the case, that's a red card. Simple as that.

Not only violent fouls are punishable by red card.

Robben has had a great game actually. Müller and Lewy... Atrocious.

Müller with 2 assists.

Fernando_Bayern_BR, you're absolutely right... but sometimes refs decide to ignore the textbook for a greater good. You can't blame the ref for following the textbook...

Müller with 2 assists.

And Lewandowski with a goal.

IMO, Müller's assist for Thiago's goal was just luck. Thiago had to force it and Lewy was to Müller's right. Between them they missed like at least 4 clear cut chances. Costa too missed one pretty obvious one and was fairly anonymous for the rest.

PunkCapitalist, it's true that there were a lot of misses but the pitch conditions are far from ideal. I'm sure you've noticed a lot of misplaced passes too.

You gotta work for luck also... or call it "killer instinct", which suits Mueller very well.

FLASH NEWS! MUTU is in line for a perfect prediction (0-3)!!!

Wow! This is why I like so much Vidal! Great work! Great goal.

Sweet. Perfect prediction. Would be more if I weren't such an idiot.

That pitch looks like something I played on in high school. Well done to the boys and thanks Lewy for my perfect prediction!

I hate to insult a Bayern player, but Robben is an utter cheat and rather ineffective. Hope he gets subbed off.

At least it got interesting though!

You're from Mexico and fled to the States I guess?

Hahahaha no not quite. I've just never liked Robben very much. His diving is too obvious to ignore. At this point I prefer Coman.
Still, I'm happy Arjen is fit and I hope he gets back to his best.
