Wow! Lovren hits a screamer from way out. Outside of the boot always moving away from the keeper hits the post comes back and hits the keeper and in. To pull Zenit level 1-1. Didn’t save them tho as Brugge win 1-2.
I had to look him up. Did he really play for us. There’s a great GIF of him scoring about half way down the link.

And Martial WINS a PK. And after a fancy run up it’s saved. Oops the ref is giving him another shot. No fancy run up and Goal.
And.another penalty WIN as Messi dangles his foot and the bait is taken. Messi doesn’t miss many of those.
Then to even things up Martial does a perfect example of modern heading. Defensive head from a corner. Martial is first there, first up and higher than the rest. Then you actually see him close his eyes and let’s the ball come to him. It bloops off the top of his head over DeGea into the corner of the goal. Fkn Brilliant. Gees, I’d love one quarter of his pay to be a header coach. I could make a difference.
I actually like that (B.A.'s post) quite a bit...it's about time the US got rid of some of the "old guard" (read dead weight ) and brought in the new boys...
