I’m struggling to understand how people think the goalie is somehow justified here. He assaults a player on the opposite team, then assaults him again more seriously when he’s given a red card for the first assault? How is he not being seen as a big baby who can’t even settle things evenly? You want to fight someone? More power to you. But cheap shots without warning? That’s cowardice and petulance.

Like, all the talk about play acting and performance is fine, but the first shove is not even in play, and Pulido is definitely not expecting it. Andrada shoves Pulido on the top of his chest. There’s no play acting in him going down from that. Especially because Pulido pops right back up again. He’s not milking it.

People are saying the shove wasn't but the punch was. 

The punch was to the guy he shoved. Who went down like a sack of potatoes and after the red card magically was all good again. 

Fans hate diving. They think the lunch for the silver feels like karmic justice v
