So THAT'S why Liverpool tapped VVD up.

Shocking defending, and total lack of creativity in the middle of the park without Lallana and/or Coutinho in the starting XI. If Coutinho goes, we need 2 #10s.

On the plus side the kids at fullback both played pretty well. I though Moreno was a lost cause but he had a solid game.

Ronaldo starts his season with a wonderful goal at Camp Nou as a sub, a red card for a questionable diving call, and a 5 game suspension for pushing the ref.

Eric Cantona Hat Trick?

Just for clarification, I liked that post for the Eric Cantona reference lol

If it helps somewhat to enable the Saints to compete with the big boys, I don't see a down side.

If anyone is in the mood for an upset, I don't think Liverpool are getting into the CL group stage.

I fear you are correct, though I don't how big of an upset it would be.

The backline is a shambles, and our two best creators in midfield are unavailable. The front line looks really good and if they dominate there's a chance Liverpool wins. But Hoffenheim should be able to defend pretty easily.

If the managers of both the English and Italian champions get sacked before the end of August that would be some kind of spectacular.

Go find highlights of the CSKA Young Boys Champions League match today. Glad I didn't have the draw on it or anything.

Sure would be nice to score a goal for the sell-out crowd tomorrow (haven't scored in the last six home games dating back to last season).

Matuidi officially signs for Juve.

PSG hasn't gotten a lot down pat during their oil-fueled run but that midfield of Verratti-Motta-Matuidi was pretty exceptional.

There’s something really strange about Messi not having signed his new contract yet. His current deal expires in June…

I feel like ive seen this attempted save by Lloris a few times before in the past couple years
