This is a really nice stadium for an MLS team. Comparing it to the butcher job they're doing of BMO Field right now that is costing only $50 million less is even more depressing.

Benfica and Zenit seem content with boring each other to death.

Really hate cheering for Benfica here but Portugal's coefficient is on the line (Russia will pass Portugal and get take the third CL spot) so any day now would be nice...

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Shoulda shut my mouth lol

On the one hand, I'm happy Benfica (seemingly) locked this one up.

On the other, I was kinda hoping for PENALTIES!

/Come on 2-1 Chelsea!

I feel the same way, obviously I'm a soccer fan, but I already pay enough for cable (really thinking of cutting the cord all together, to be honest).

Yeah man. I was looking at my bill the other day and I was just screaming internally "all I watch is Sportsnet, TSN and occasionally the local news and I'm paying $70/m for this because...?".

My only issue is getting Leaf games because subscribing to GCL wouldn't provide local coverage, right?

Annnnd Chelsea seems to be done and dusted.

Assuming City are the only ones to qualify for the QFs, England will have only sent 4 representatives to that stage of the tournament in the past 5 competitions. Compare that with 3 for Portugal, 3 (possibly 4) for Italy, 6 for France, 7 (possibly 8) for Germany and 12 (likely 14) for Spain during that same span and the sport really needs to ask itself why it loves England so fucking much.

Does Jose even want the job without a CL spot? He hasn't managed a Europa League team since 2002-03 (when he won it with some fashionable chaps in blue & white ).

digging a little into it and i see italian papers saying the "MLS plan B" for Samaras is the "New York Cosmos" lol

I guess playing for OKC in the NASL is plan C for Samaras lol

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

"Rayo OKC"? Are they fucking serious with this shit?
