Mane should be off. That’s awful even 30 seconds in.

Isn't that the same Pulisic which was up there with Messi and Ronaldo, one of the top soccer players in the world. The LeBron James of soccer?

That's a howler of a mistake. Mane should be off, the socres. Luckiest team in the league by far, no debate

So what?

Why is this never taken into account when someone mistimes a tackle by a millisecond and instead of getting the ball cleanly, get the man and end up off?

It's like you're given permission to be as reckless as you want to be with your arms and elbows so long as you don't look at them before it but do the same thing with your feet and it's a different story.
It wasn't that reckless, it wasn't like he was charging in at speed. You need to raise your arms to get a good leap.

Mane's arm caught him, not the elbow. Had it been the elbow I'd have called it a red, regardless of intent, but it wasn't, so it isn't. A fine line maybe, lucky for Mane maybe, but if that's a red then we'd have two/three off per game.

Of course it was going to be Mane. Possible red in 10 seconds then scores. That'll be it for the game now. It'll be 1-0 so people can argue if he should have been on the pitch to score that or not :lol:
