Atleti beats Barcelona AND Bayern Munich?!

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Three years at Bayern, three straight semi-final exits with two of those being shit-kickings. This after taking over a team that had made 2 straight finals and had just won the treble, and despite spending 200 million euros on new players (not to mention his undoubtedly exorbitant contract).

Guessing there are a few clubs right now that are rather thankful they didn't go after Pep.

I think what interests your bosses is winning big games. Combined 12-5 in 3 semifinals.

Given that he's struggled for playing time both at Bayern and out on loan, he maybe made the wrong choice.

1 zip Real courtesy the Welsh Wizard and Kompany limped off for City after ten minutes.

I don't like City's chances here.

El Final Madrileno Part II.

Just crazy that in 58 years of this tournament there was never a derby final despite cities like Milan, London and Madrid having had multiple teams capable of getting to that point and in 3 years we get 2 with the same teams.

Yaya Toure - I thought I was joining Manchester United not Manchester City - Independent.ie

Yaya: "How should I dress for the jersey presentation?"

Agent: "Just wear something that goes with blue."

Yaya: "I thought they were called the Red Devils? "

Marchisio already ruled out ... now Veratti to have groin surgery so hes out of euro ... Pirlo going to get called up ... will be a short tournie for Italy

Still doubt they don't make it to the second round. Motta should be good enough as a single anchor, Bertolacci and Bonaventura can both play pretty much everywhere, Jorginho and Soriano are both reliable enough if not spectacular. I think Sturaro might be primed for a breakout tournament too if they decide to call him up.

Tough losses but not deadly. Also worth noting that Belgium has looked like shit their past few games. Winning this group is important too given that the runner up will likely play Portugal and both teams have lost to them in the past year.

damn

I dont know why i ever decide to watch these videos ... horrifying

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Oh yikes. How terrifying.

Vincent Kompany now out of Euro for Belgium.

Hope for their sake Thomas Vermaelen is up to the task. One of the best defences in the world just got a lot shakier.
