Borussia Dortmund fans did not buy tickets and will not travel to support Dortmund when they play Red Bull Leipzig tomorrow in protest of Red Bull's unsportsmanlike approach.
I just read their Wiki, which is very interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RB_Leipzig In short, Red Bull founded (read took over) a Fifth Division club in Leipzig in 09 with hopes of reaching the Bundesliga in 8 years. This is their first year in Bundesliga. They have spent a serious amount of money in transfers, which other German supporters are against. They just beat Borussia Dortmund 1-0 in their home opener.
Mainz is up 4-1 in the 43rd on Hoffenheim. Just absolutely bonkers match with a lot of shit defending.
Guys get FS1 on NOW. Mainz is down to 10 men and has shipped 2 goals to make it 4-3 with 18 mins to go. You are only going to miss like 3 plays in the NFL game

Pitch at the Allianz looking a bit worse for wear. The rain has undoubtedly played a part but still, step up your agronomy game.
BVB currently rocking Dembele Emre Mor Gotze Schurrle Pulisic Average age: 21 Has to be the most young attacking talent in the world?
Pulisic with a couple of good runs down the right wing. Got taken down in the box in his first run but no call.
Great flick to him, better move by PEA at the top of the box and clinical finish. Dortmund looking scary good upfront. Getting really worried for Real Madrid match
Ricardo Rodriguez is one of the best LBs in the world. Tough task for Pulisic. Rodriguez was approached by several big teams this past market season. He plays for Switzerland but could have also played for Chile as one of his parents (mom I think) is from Chile. Chile scouting missed out bad on him. We could have definitely used him on the left wing.
Yep. So many attacking options it's not even funny. RM next week will be interesting. I think CR and Bale will run freely against the back line. Could see a 3-2 RM result.
yeah it screams "high scoring" I agree. Dortmund certainly aren't used to playing back lines as strong as Madrid's.
legitimately nervous about it They could also tear Ramos/Pepe/Varane apart if their spacing isn't precise
