The Fire suuuuuck, so what other Soccer, Football, Fútbol are you watching?

Liverpool gives up a phantom penalty (which was saved, but there was a rebound that the penalty taker scored, so I guess that counts as a "real" goal), but comes back to win away to bottom of the table Southampton.
Liverpool 3, Southampton 2.
Liverpool have opened a sizable lead in the EPL (which sucks).

 

St Pauli vs Borussia Monchengladbach

 

I like Cuypers, but man it would be nice to have picked up Reus...too?!

Hope we add 3 like Puig, Pec & Reus...

 

Man City vs Feyenoord...........******** Ajax.

 

Champions League Round 5, Day 2

Red Star Belgrade destroyed Stuttgart 5-1.
Katai was on the bench.

Strum Graz beat Girona 1-0

Aston Villa v. Juventes
Bologna v. Lille
Celtic v. Club Brugge
Dinamo Zabgreg v Borussia Dortmund
Liverpool v. Real Madrid in the "marquee" match of the day
Monaco v. Benfica
PSV (******** Ajax, for @pena pirata) v. Shakhtar Donetsk

 

Tottenham & Roma are trading body blows. It's a wonder no one has scored in the second half yet.

 

Europa League, or whatever it is called now.

Manchester United come from behind to squeak by Bodø/Glimt 3-2, despite having 72% of the percentage and had 20 shots to the 6 of Bodø/Glimt.
Bodø/Glimt scored two excellent goals.


Real Sociedad wins 2-0 against Ajax (******** Ajax, for some reason).

 

DISGUSTING!

A day to forget for Wolves, but a place in football's record books for Bournemouth's Justin Kluivert, who became the first man in the Premier League era to score a hat-trick of penalties.

What a loser! Scoring a hat trick of penalties!
The ultimate in "padding is stats."
It just shows that the EPL, does, indeed, suck.

 

Also in the EPL (which sucks), in the Crystal Palace v. Newcastle match, Daniel Munoz misses a sitter that would have made Robert Beric blush.
He does redeem himself with a very late tying goal.

 

USWNT v. England from Wembley.

0-0 heading into the second half of this friendly between the World Number 1 and Number 2.

Lindsey Horan has a goal called back for being very, very offsides.

 

Feyenoord vs Fortuna Sittard

 

I can stream the MLS Eastern Conference Final, or channel surf 4 NCAAFB games, the IHSA 8A Championship Game, and a Liga MX quarterfinal return leg. Until streaming works as quick & easy as channel surfing I will never give up linear cable. I also ave a better than average chance in avoiding landing on a sales pitch.

Gig 'Em Aggies

 

Watching LA/Seattle and Puig for LA is with the ball behind ~8 LA players.

 

Solihull Moors vs Bromley

 

In the Marquee match up of the day in the EPL (which sucks),

Liverpool continue Manchester City's well-deserved misery, leading at halftime.

This was supposed to be the battle between 1 and 2 in the league,
but it is currently between 1 and 5.

 

Liverpool should be up 3-0 here (66'). The may rue fact they aren't.

 

Nope, not needed.

Man City have looked absolutely toothless the past few weeks.

Heaping more misery of them is what every team should strive for now.

 

On the team and their "lifelong fans" everywhere but Manchester.

 

Brutal for Puig

Midfielder @RiquiPuig has sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee.

Puig sustained the injury in the second half of the match, continuing to play over thirty minutes despite his injury, and providing the game-winning assist on Dejan Joveljić’s 85th… pic.twitter.com/roTZASvPZ3

I’m pretty sure this is the moment it happened.

I mean this has to be the moment. . . pic.twitter.com/fUXrvP7MHq

LA should annihilate any star player on Seattle any time they play until Puig is back on the field.

I like Bayern Munich and, to an extent, Borussia Dortmund.
I could not give a single crap about any of the other team in the tournament.

I hope Real Madrid, Chelsea, PSG and, especially, Manchester City (cheating bastards) all fail miserably.

 

America - Cruz Azul liguilla semi-final 1st leg

 

Awful game. America was a step slow all night & Cruz Azul couldn't punish them. The two teams go at it again Sunday night in front of Cruz Azul supporters at the same venue they share while Estadio Azteca undergoes renovations.

San Luis takes a 2-1 lead to Monterrey in the other semi-final series tonight.
