Oh my, that was Salo-esque.

Should away goals count in extra time of a 2 game aggregate series? Porto has 120 minutes of away time to Juve's 90, but everybody knows the rules going in.

Yeah I don’t feel bad about the team that regularly buys at least one €70 million+ player every summer being unable to beat up on a team that sells their stars before they turn 20 even when being up a man for 70 minutes. That shit’s on them.

But any other time? Yeah I could probably do without it.

Good news - Southampton scored 2 goals
Bad news - Man City scored 5 goals

The last time neither Ronaldo or Messi played in the quarterfinals of the Champions League was 2004-05. Neither will make an appearance this year. Probably the greatest era in soccer history is just about done.

Then again, Messi did do this today:



Maybe both just really, really need teams that understand the importance of midfielders.

New stadium coming along nicely. Cannot wait to go.

Lewandowski could have had 5 goals on Saturday. Huge game from the Bremen goalie and the posts.

And a couple of sweet assists from Muller.

Rui Patricio took a really bad high-speed knee from his own player during Wolves-Liv and had to be ambulanced out.

Three months before Euro too damnit.

Pretty boring R16 in the CL this year. Not really any upsets outside Porto over Juve (which, given Juve's struggles all season I can't really say is completely an upset) and I guess Chelsea knocking off Atleti although Tuchel Chelsea is definitely different than Fat Frank Chelsea. Hopefully the QF's give us some meat.

Hey, give Luis some credit, at least he didn't bite anybody...

Three for Zagreb, two for Spurs - No respect lol

 

[puckhead]

missed it by that much

Not any easy teams left, wanted Porto to get either Real or Chelsea and avoid PSG/Bayern/City and all of them are on the other side of the draw so about as good as I hoped for.

PSG-Bayern and City-Dortmund are going to be fantastic.
