California. Duh.
Salah has 43 goals in all competitions. This is his 47th game.

The Liverpool record is 47 by Ian Rush in 1983-84...in 65 games.

I want to say it's clean sheet time, but I think pressing is the best way to get the clean sheet.
100% agree. I wonder where el Shaarawy is? He would offer pace and trickery outside, which would be the necessary outlet Roma need today.

And here's #4!!!!! Wow. Salah to Firmino.

Roma's tactics have been terrible, at half time they needed to get away from playing 3 at the back. You can't play that way and hope to drop 5 at the back when you lose possession if the team attacking is so fast you can't get the defenders back in time. Idiotic.

I can't believe there's still going to be almost a half hour left in this game.

You know, there was a time that I thought, “if you ever get into soccer for some reason, Liverpool makes a lot of sense since you are such a Sox fan.” Then I had to go to Selhurst Park for my first pro game while I was in London to see a 49ers/Jaguars game. So instead of watching this amazing display with great interest as a fan of one of the teams playing , I’m holding on for a win against Stoke or West Brom to make sure Palace stay up.

On the other hand, a year or two before that, I tried to go to a Roma-Lazio game for my first European professional game and wasn’t allowed in because I didn’t live in Rome. So maybe it could be worse and I’d have been a Roma fan.

I think if Liverpool wins the final, Salah will win the balon d’or.

If Real win it, it’s probably Ronaldo.

If Bayern win it, it’ll depend on the World Cup.
