I’ve seen Grealish do some amazing stuff on a pitch and obviously Pep loves him now, but I just don’t enjoy his game.

edit: I get it but I hate the rule that makes that a pen

I really really do not like Jack Grealish and I’m glad the commentators called him out. Should have been a yellow

Was watching on Unimas. Didn't think the Spanish commentators had a negative thing to say about Jack. Then again, I'm not fluent in Spanish.

Cara Banks and Anna Jackson kind of sound alike.

Should be fun to watch Palace without a senior GK. Academy callup goes up against Brighton

The LFC lineup should be interesting. With the current pieces left they may as well rock a 4-0-6. Can’t have a shitty midfield if there is no midfield.

Watching Liverpool is like watching the last two seasons of Lost. I know they suck but I keep turning it on hoping they don't suck.

If Real Madrid score soon i can catch some of the Brighton match. That's the way my mind is working.

Edit: shooting should always be a last resort for Konate.

There are at least three stages of Real Madrid/ Liverpool matches. Liverpool miss chances. Both teams engage in petty fouling. Madrid score goals. There are other stages, but these are the one's i am most cognisant of.

Down 3 with 15 minutes to go. Don’t look for the perfect pass. Just shoot and try to pot one in the chaos

I’m already starting to feel a little like I did before Game 7 of the 2004 ALCS.

(Minor nit, since that’s what we do here… score was 3-3 in Game 1 :) )

EISERN!

No Behrens in the XI or on the bench…

Also a little surprised that Union St-Gilloise aren’t playing in their home stadium, but instead in Anderlecht’s, since it’s bigger.

The defensive lapses Union Berlin have made against this team certainly exceed all other opponents combined this year. Jesus.

Arsenal started slow and unfortunately needed an early sub for Tomiyasu who appeared to have strained his calf.

Then a ton of Arsenal pressure leading to a goal from Xhaka on the rebound from a Martinelli shot.

Ugh...and Saliba appears to come off with an injury. Hopefully nothing that will linger as he is critical to this team looking to win the title. Not great to see two defenders pull out with injuries after 22 minutes.

Offsides saves Sporting a penalty created by a fantastic move from Jesus in the box. Gonna be really nice to have him back for the rest of the season.

So in the "we invented this a couple seasons back because Spurs was gonna miss Europe" league round of 16, West Ham starts Scamacca, who they paid 35M for, Moyes refuses to play in the league, and took a shot at in post-game this week in desperate attempt to blame someone for his failures... in 20 minutes he's scored and just missed another, while the opponents aren't that good, it is amusing that he's dominating.

Dude at my local bar insisted on watching this on one of the two TVs. Worked out well — got to watch this, and also Princeton-Arizona, while missing the Illinois-Arkansas snoozefest.

Couple nice saves in the last five minutes of extra time by the Sporting goalie.

Fully deserved by Sporting. Amorim is destined for a big club, hopefully not the other one in North London.

Arsenal looked like they came to play in fourth gear and struggled to get into the match. Not to take anything away from Sporting, but this squad wasn’t ready to juggle a nail biting title challenge and a European campaign.

Disappointed but better to go out now than in the semis given the circumstances.

It's take many years of the club making the point to UEFA and the English language media, but I sense that just calling them Sporting is finally sinking in.

The bracket works out such that we’re guaranteed a final with teams from different countries, since the three Italian teams are all in one half of the bracket and the two English teams are both in the other half, so no way for there to be a domestic matchup in the final.
