being a sounders fan, i was OUTRAGED by the decision. You literally grab the player (half by the neck) and it's not even a foul or pen. wtf
I don’t believe it’s a red yellow yes pen no because you cannot obstruct the goalie like he’s done here as much as Ik unless rules have changed lmao ESPN gonna have a field day with this one
its a red but roldan gets a yellow
Red card??? that’s assault and 3 months in county prison…,
That's a pretty obvious red.
I think it's reds for both. The goalie is just trying to get back into a good position to protect the net and the strikers is being a REAL B***H of a player doing what he's doing. None of it happens unless that striker is being a disgusting little worm, but the goalie's response was over the top and poor.
Goalie was in the right. Just like a punter in the NFL. You rough them up you gonna get fucked up.
refs were all kinds of bad. There was this weird red card moment for Dallas against Galaxy, but they finished with 11 men, confused.
yup, a RED card!
This is when "goalkeeper hates you"
I think it’s pretty cool that it wasn’t a red, I mean come on, he got up and was fine, plus it wasn’t like he slammed him on his head, it was onto the back, and you can’t obstruct a goalkeeper like that, pretty awesome move imo
Striker had it coming in my opinion. Sacred rule of football is you just do not f around with goalkeepers. Happy to see it as he was being an absolute little bitch.
Red card for the keeper, instead of body slamming he could of just punched the ball out.
RED CARD for goalie.
Melia violently tried to harm another player. He used his size and aggressiveness (steroids?) on the forward.

Yellow Card for Cristian Roldan.
You can’t back into a goalie that way.
::
It’s up to the Referees to control the game and excessive behavior. They failed.
::
There’s no room in the game for sociopaths who want to harm and injure other players. The game is already physical and tough enough.
Melia may not even belong in the sport.
According to the BS in the reviews, Americans are new to Soccer and ignorant about it's rules. The goal keeper would be ejected and possibly suspended from several matches, if this happened in any other country. Soccer is not Hockey or American Football. READ the rules and WATCH similar cases on YouTube before exposing your ignorance.
Striker has every right to block the passage of another player with out committing a foul. The keeper should have seen a straight red, not just for the foul but for intentionally endangering the safety of a player. FIFA rule, not mine
wow.
Solid judo throw
Not red
We finding out who were gk and outside players in this comment section.
This is obviously a red for the striker not the goalkeeper
I think it’s a red if the striker doesn’t push him back the fact the striker did that doesn’t make what the goalie did right but Ik as a keeper if a player is stepping on me pushing me into the goal he’s not gonna be happy
As an SKC fan, this was the fucking best. Should it have been a red? probably but he got suspended and fined eventually anyway. Roldan played the game of fuck around and find out.
Yellow is fine
Воот бляят настоящий футбол, а не с долбаным вар системой
Just because he fouled you doesn’t give you the right to literally assault him
red if it's artificial turf, yellow if natural turf
No red card roldan gets yellows for Interference with the goalkeeper
Yeah ball don’t lie. Team in the right wonz
Primero es falta contra el arquero muy mal por el árbitro q dejo seguir la jugada hasta q termino con esa agresión , el delantero no debe cargar contra el arquero en el área pequeña
Clear Foul on goalkeeper
So. A player can push the goal keeper inside the goal with ball and everything?
serves him right though get the fuck out of the way, he knew what he was doing
Man his brother was about to get his ass kicked too 😂
Haha GG
Clear red card.
the goalie after he body slammed the player: 🤷♂️
Are you serious? Red Card for me. It's soccer, not wrestling.
Goalkeeper should be arrested and banned from play for life. This is assault by any definition.
No should not get the red card because the player was purposely holding him behind the goal line.The player got what he deserve.
Good move on the keeper. I see that crap happen all the time. Players don’t belong in the goal.
He was trying to be sneaky and pin the goal keeper against the net. I think this was acceptable.
not even a striker smh
No wonder why people call soccer soft
I had a guy try header the ball when I was trying to catch it. My fist ended up in his cheek
Nice commentary, I think given the circumstances yellow was correct, but if he just did that without being shoved into the back of the goal definitely red.
