Matt Miazga playing for Alaves

Stadio Olimpico

 

It's on ESPN3 if you don't mind Spanish.

 

Lazio only needed a draw to nail winning the group, and it's what they got.

As for Vitesse... sic transit etc.

 

Already mentioned this kid. He's a joy to watch playing football:

Scores on a nice header off a corner:

Ha - Boston Red beat me to it. Vitesse scored again as Fraser putting it to his old side. (and I still look for Payne on the team sheet... old habits die hard.)

 

Here's the goal - https://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x6alsis

 

According to this interview, he scored the goal for his American girlfriend who was in the crowd:

Now there's an argument for polygamy as good as any.

 

Was a good run to get the free header and nicely placed.

 

Okay, I'm going to test the black tied guys in the streets preaching the book of mormon for their soccer skills.

 

They aren't very good. Even the Brazilian one. Although he thinks he is

 

shades of his gold cup goal!

 

But the Tongans can all play a mean 7's, so don't get suckered into a game of ruby.

Yeah, anchor a shut-out and score the game winner in the 87th and you are likely to make a few teams-of-the-week. Well done by Matt.

 

Oh, no. two Chelsea loanies in the team of the week. Before we knowit they're gonna swamp us with loanies.

 

are dutch ratings systems notoriously harsh? a '7' hardly seems justification for a team of the week

 

When you're rated 6 -6.5 you've done a good job. These raters are rather picky with their opinion of how well you played.
But it could also be that the competition had an relative off day. Who knows.
To be awarded a 7 isnot often the case, an 8 is extremely good and above that you had to dazzle the observer.
This isnot much of help I think

 

The black hole of Dabo eradicates any Chelsea loanie glitter...

 

fixed it
