    all those aborted counters to kick the ball around the 18 for a while without threatening looking pretty dumb after that penalty eh

    This sport is better without VAR

    Wow, what a terrible call. One thing I appreciate about the Bundesliga is they got VAR right.

    Maybe Chelsea will start attacking again

    i don’t have sound on but he blatantly kicked a guy that was past him - how can’t that be a foul? happens to be in the box so it’s a penalty

    A. Mike Dean as the VAR ref. Mr. Red Card.
    B. Le Saux!! You had to say "there is no way this is a red card". Really!!
    C. Now CP's goal is the winner, again, if this holds.

    VAR worked so well in the WC. How have the English f'd it up so bad?

    CHO for CP is a good sub here. Does it partially mean he wants CO slightly fresher for Champions League? And did Lampard wait too long to make even one sub?

    Bats on for Abraham and draws a yellow before touching the ball...

    Chelsea really don't like and don't look comfortable defending.

    They would rather pressure, control, attack.

    That penalty is on whomever it was who passed him the ball. Kova? Mount? What kind of an idiot passes the ball into pressure in his own box?

    The English are a decade behind the rest of the world technologically. When I was in London in 2015, I didn't have WiFi anywhere.

    It makes so much sense that they ********ed up VAR. Bunch of Luddites.

    Yeah. They can't even figure out how to make hot and cold water come out of one faucet.

    Oh my. Ben Foster, of all people, has a last minute header off of a free kick forcing a great reaction save from Kepa on the last play of the game. Wow. But decent win for Chelsea which they made harder than they needed to in the last 15.

    Willian injured at the end, CHO with an insipid cameo... CP going to be seeing a lot of the field the next few weeks.

    Held on for the win, but they don't look credible defending.

    Someone needs to attack their CB's and forget about going wide.

    Don't. Get. Me. Started.
    2 years, I had to "commute" to UK weekly. Days of alternately freezing and burning hands every time I washed them, week after week...

    CP time = production, and passive aggressive posts here. I enjoy both.

    i think he subbed him because he needed fresh legs and Pulisic had just been hobbled by janmaat on a pretty physical foul.

    And what a freakin ending. A goalkeeper denying a goalkeeper with a brilliant save on literally the last touch of the match to save the 3 point.

    motm is one of Jorgino, Pulisic or Ben Foster

    months I’d guess. He is clearly their best attacking player, for better or for worse

    The tap in was a reward for a very intelligent run
