Glazers are selling Manchester United and they parted ways with Ronaldo.

Each goalie has gifted a goal at Anfield. I gave up a goal like Allison’s once when I played keeper.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Remember Malaga?

Ten years ago they were seconds away from the UCL semifinals.

Now they’re ten points away from safety in the Segunda.

Austin losing to Violette (who?) has to be one of the more ridiculous upsets in a while. Even if they sent their B team.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

LOL Austin.

Also 3 Serie A teams in the UCL Quarterfinals just like we all predicted.

The Netherlands have passed Portugal in the coefficient and are now 6th.

BLUE MOON @Yankee151 @bruin228

All of your teams have been winning titles recently...will Man City finally win the CL or will @Yankee151 and I's cursing of all our respective teams win out?

 

[Snorky's Shame]

I can’t remember a more boring set of quarterfinals. 3 were decided in the first leg and Milan never seemed in trouble against Napoli.

The semis should be better though but it feels like the real UCL final is Real Madrid and Manchester City.

 

[Yankee151]

Derbi della Madonna in Semis is FUN FUN FUN though

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Internazionale-Milan is one of my favorite derbies in the world.

I really wanted Benfica-Napoli though.

 

[bruin228]

MOURINHO

 

[bruin]

I SAID MAYYBEEEE @Yankee151 @bruin228

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Looks like Germany has the best race in the Big Five leagues. Greece and Belgium also have interesting races because the traditional powers (Olympiakos, Club Brugge and Anderlecht) aren’t involved. What has happened to Anderlecht? Not even the best team in Brussels anymore.

Speaking of the “Big Five” leagues, the Netherlands will start next year with more coefficient points than France. Amazing considering where they were a couple of years ago.

Bundesliga 2 club Fortuna Düsseldorf played out the second of their initial three trial games with free tickets as part of their plan to put fans back at the heart of the matchday experience with their 'Fortuna For All' campaign.

www.bundesliga.com

Düsseldorf to offer free tickets to home games next year.

 

[kella]

2-0 away win for Inter to start the DERBY semifinal

 

[bruin228]

 

[bruin228]

THE FIX IS IN

 

[bruin]

CMON CITY!!!! @Yankee151 @bruin228

 

[bruin228]

Finally lol

 

[goblue96]

Fuck this.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

As weird as this sounds, Manchester City could use another goal before half to reflect the utter domination they’ve had this half.

 

[bruin228]

 

[Yankee151]

Inter vs City in the finals bros, what a dream night!

 

[bruin228]

Inter vs City in the finals bros, what a dream night!

Inter should get rid of whoever their manager is and bring in someone who knows how to win them the CL against PEP

 

[bruin228]

ALVAREZ @Yankee151

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Blue moon…

 

[kella]

didn't realize Inter's coach was the other Inzaghi

 

[bruin]

LFG!!!!

 

[Yankee151]

Sevilla magic on full display again , will play against MOURINHO in the final!

 

[bruin228]

MOURINHO

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Lol Dortmund

 

[Karl Hungus]

epic bag fumble

 

[bruin228]

 

[Karl Hungus]

The entire Europa League final has been bad, but extra time has been abysmal. It feels like there have been more stoppages than play.

 

[Karl Hungus]

132 minutes lmao

 

[bruin228]

 

[Karl Hungus]

Don't worry, Roma will be back if that Saudi takeover goes through.

 

[Yankee151]

It's been 23 years since a Spanish team has lost a European final (excluding Spain vs Spain matchups), and 17 of the last 30 UCL and UEL winners have come from there, which are both insane stats

Sevilla juju so good it even beat MOURINHO

 

[kella]

i can't believe a major final with a team coached by mourinho was unwatchable! not from the manager who tries to win even the most meaningless game 1-0 every time

Does Hamburg have a clock showing how long they’ve been in 2.Bundesliga?
