Somebody get BBB some tissues lol

I think I needed them on that corner. How embarrassing.

Picture of the big clubs coming for Ajax' players this summer:

Spurs just scored to make it 2-2, Ajax still lead 3-2 on aggregate.

PSG sure coulda used someone like Moura the past few years.

Vertonghen needed to bury that one.

Spurs pull it out on away goals.

Poch's literally crying. What a fucking game.

I’ll have to check the highlights later but what a semi final round.

Was trying to think of the last time the semis were this crazy. 05 was maybe the last time both matches were so crazy close, with Liverpool beating Chelsea on a goal that probably wouldn't count today with GLT and AC scoring in stoppage against PSV to take a 3-2 tie lead and bag the only away goal only for Cocu to score 30 seconds later and PSV to go gung-ho at the end to no avail.

Honourable mention to Juve coming back against Real in 2003 and AC winning on away goals despite playing both legs at their own stadium (it was a derby semi with Inter). Sadly, the final that year was probably the worst the competition has ever seen so we're all worse off for that one.

City celebrates another PL title.

City celebrates another PL title.

Man Utd has so much to do before being anywhere close to being a top premier team again. I believe but man what a few disappointing seasons lately. Think about this, Liverpool lost the title this year despite only losing one game One WOW. Good luck in champions League vs The Spurs

Liverpool had a fantastic season, just needed to turn one of those ties into a win. 198 points in back-to-back seasons for City, that's unreal.

Keeping Ole was a big mistake. Got too excited by winning a bunch of games against minnows and then benefiting from a typical PSG collapse in the Champions League.

They needed a Klopp-like hire, someone who had experience truly building from the ground-up. What's crazy is Leo Jardim was available at the time they fired Mourinho and had done pretty much what Klopp did @ Dortmund with Monaco and they passed him up.

If FIFA indeed scraps their plans for a 48 team World Cup in 2022, does that mean they have a 64 team one in the works? If so, would Canada qualify?
