🚨 Our Starting XI against PSG 🚨 pic.twitter.com/uW1GHfqpK4— Borussia Dortmund (@BlackYellow) February 18, 2020 hazard unsurprisingly gets a bit longer leash
Watched the PSG weekend game last night. Great game - man PSG can be dangerous, but can also look useless in the back. This could be a fun and wild one too.
I'm thinking at least 4 goals today. Going to be absolutely wild. I hope Reyna can get in and be a part of it.
Looking at this 18 ... I think Reyna has a high percentage chance to make his CL debut. If there's any need for a goal, only Gotze and Reyna bring advanced attacking chops off of this bench; Schulz, Akanji and Schmelzer all seem like they'd be injury or formation change replacements and defensive rather than offensive upgrades.
For me Reyna's key today is to stay absolutely focused, once he gets in, on which player to exchange jerseys with at game's end.
Turner has been an epic disappointment as a UCL carrier. They have 4 channels but show one game at a time, resigning us to scour for Spanish channels and streams for key matches, like when a 17 yr old American may debut in the knockout stages. Their subscription service is hardly worth purchasing when you can get ESPN+ w/ twice the content for half the price.
Their studio coverage is abysmal too. I feel like everyone has a high bar to meet because of NBCSN, but Turner is so, so far below them.
Yeah, they're filling time, after making the poor choice of preferring crossover appeal and names to substance. Kate Abdo is the only reason to stay tuned for a minute. Makes me long for the days of FS. Didn't think I'd say that because their production sucked. About the only area Turner has the advantage in. Waiting for their contract to expire. Hopefully then the ucl to gets picked up by ESPN.
CBS already won the rights starting in 2021. Hopefully they're better than Turner, but I'm always skeptical of a company starting coverage of a sport essentially from scratch. https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/champions-league-tv-rights-cbs-univision
The pressure is certainly on Hazard to produce right now. I am recording it so I was not able to see the 1st half yet... but google's timeline indicates that Dortmund has been the better side. They mention Haaland and Sancho but not a word on Hazard. If he doesn't get results soon then we may see a start from Gio. <crossing-fingers>
Had anyone told me a BVB-PSG match was going to have only one shot on goal after 45', I wouldn't have believed it.
There is just no stopping this 🚀 from Erling Haaland (via @TUDNUSA) pic.twitter.com/rHo2oBbHWM— SI Soccer (@si_soccer) February 18, 2020 Very good turn and great pass.
