40th minute and Stuttgart finally goes up 1-0. 9th shot on goal and an xG of 3.26, but still just 1-0. A win would mean no more undefeated teams in the Bundesliga. Stuttgart would move ahead of Bayern Munich for 2nd place, but Bayern has a game in hand because of last week's snow cancelled game vs Union Berlin.
Leverkusen scores in the 47th minute, leveling it at 1-1. Man City scores in the 62nd and 65th minutes, going up 2-1 at Luton Town. The home team is still dangerous though, creating some good chances.

(At 1:20 if the time mark doesn't work) Also if you back it up to the 9 second mark where you can see the stands, that white set of seats on the right, third row, I'm the guy on the aisle.

Looks like you are going to need Max and the B/R sports add-on. https://velo.outsideonline.com/news/watch-cycling-in-the-u-s-moves-to-max/
Yep, saw that today. So $20/month for at least 8 months to cover almost all the road season vs. $70 for a full year of all disciplines.
Schalke with a goal in the 30th minute, Greuther Furth in the 50th, Schalke in the 74th, and now Furth in the 77th.
Werder Bremen gets an early goal at Monchengladbach, nearly drew a penalty shortly after that, and now there's a pause in play while a bunch of coins? are being picked up off the pitch as apparently the Gladbach fans are protesting something.
Dreadful scenes at Bournemouth as Luton's Tom Lockyer has collapsed on the field. The 29-year-old captain underwent heart surgery after a similar incident during last season's Championship playoff final at Wembley. Today, the stadium was plunged into silence as paramedics treated… pic.twitter.com/QFaCsIY0Sv— Men in Blazers (@MenInBlazers) December 16, 2023
Mexico are fielding a depth squad against Colombia at the Coliseum. They're also promoting a NASCAR-Mexico race scheduled in February. Mexico takes the lead in the 40th minute.
O Mexico... I don't care if it was offside. They were up 2-0 in the second half and are now losing 2-3 in stoppage.
Brentford was about 20 minutes away from a significant upset over Aston Villa. Then Ben Mee lost his mind and VAR gave him a straight red in the 71st minute. Villa scored in the 77th minute to tie it up. Now they've scored in the 85th and a slew of yellow cards have been handed out (4 for Brentford, 3 for Aston Villa) since that red. 10 minutes of stoppage time to go and Aston Villa nearly scored the most embarrassing own goal in years.
3 more yellow cards in Brentford, two of those to Aston Villa. Another red, this one to Aston Villa, also handed out. They're in the 10th minute of stoppage time but there's probably going to be 3-4 more minutes added on top of that.
The USL Championship released their 2024 schedule today. There are 24 teams. Rhode Island enters as an expansion team and North Carolina returns from League One. Unfortunately, Rio Grande Valley has ceased operations, leaving a 9400 seat stadium empty. https://www.uslchampionship.com/news_article/show/1294677 League One also announced their schedule. Spokane replaces the departing North Carolina side. In addition to a full round robin schedule, there's also a League One Cup happening this year. https://www.uslleagueone.com/news_article/show/1294320
The format for the League One Cup is something else. 3 groups of 4 teams, play the others in your group twice AND play 2 other games outside your group. Top tiebreaker is goals scored. No ET, just straight to penalties. Teams who win in the shootout get 2 points while the loser still gets 1 for the tie. https://www.uslleagueone.com/news_article/show/1294025
