Meaningless in terms of advancement in this tournament. All games have meaning.

 

Except for the Carabao Cup...

This guy gets it.

But the description is why the game is on TV.

That said, Spurs-Olympiacos might have been the game that should have been on TV due to "meaning." Especially with the start Spurs had.

[Bone3421 716]

yeah, y'all are right.  when 2 of the 6 richest clubs in the world with some of the most insane talent in the world meet for only the 10th time in their history, it's meaningless.

i get that this match doesn't have much impact on the group stage table, but this game isn't meaningless.  this game is a barometer for both teams about where they are and where they can go.  and the talent here is sick.
Real up 2-0.
Scratch that.  Mbappe just scored.
 

Neymar and others were benched....so not accurate barometer...big clubs but thats all the match was an exhibition

Group C runner up is still up in the air with the other 3 teams. Shakhtar (6) vs Atalanta (4) and City vs Dinamo (5)

Group D is down to Athletico (7) and Leverkusen (6). Leverkusen v Juve and Athletico v Lokomotive

[WBT 20411]

Valencia blows an easy chance early.  This group is crazy with Chelsea, Valencia, and Ajax all with 7 points coming into play today.

[Goo Punch 4275]

Rodrigo just executed the worst miss i have ever seen, and keep in mind that Gervinho used to play for Arsenal. Wow. Wait until you see this miss. It's incredible.

Valencia is on full Miss Mode.

[Goo Punch 4275]

and Rodrigo gets the assist to perhaps make up for that amazing and spectacular miss. 

[Cheeseweasel 26437]

Finally.

[Goo Punch 4275]

welp, that didn't last long. 

[Cheeseweasel 26437]

And the flood gates are open.

[WBT 20411]

1-1 at half.  Abraham off injured, doesn't look too good.  He was holding his right side/hip area.

[Goo Punch 4275]

yeah that was a really awkward fall, landing right on someone else's legs. and he was pretty high up there too. that had to hurt.

[Captain Ron 12793]

Why is the Valencia-Chelsea game in the early time slot?

[Bone3421 716]

Kepa with big save on pk

[Bone3421 716]

Why is the Valencia-Chelsea game in the early time slot?

So we can watch liverpool

[WBT 20411]

This has been a good game.  Pulisic had a nice poacher's goal and then a great dummy setup Wass to equalize on a hell of a strike (or cross?)

[Goo Punch 4275]

wow what a stunner. i accidentally knocked a bunch of shit over when that ball went in, lol.

7 minutes stoppage time

[Cheeseweasel 26437]

What a great match

[WBT 20411]

Wow, terrible flubbed chance by Rodrigo

[Goo Punch 4275]

wow, if Mason Mount gets that cross its game over.

 

and holy shit, ANOTHER complete blunder by Valencia at the other end!!

[Cheeseweasel 26437]

If Valencia could finish...

[Goo Punch 4275]

damn. Valencia have to be kicking themselves...because they damn sure aren't kicking the ball!! christ, they blew chance after chance in the most spectacular ways. 

[Captain Ron 12793]

Going to Ajax for the final match day, Valencia will rue those misses.

[WBT 20411]

2-2 final.  That was a great game.  The back and forth in stoppage time was nuts.

Took Ajax 2 minutes to score on Lyon with Ziyech getting it early. He has been on fire lately.

He's been on fire for 2 years now. Not sure why one of the big clubs doesn't snatch him up.

[Captain Ron 12793]

Ajax could still win today and it might not matter because of the draw. That final day is going to be a blood bath in Group H.

Being up 3-0 helps...

[shnsajax 3589]

F, G, and H could all have 3 teams alive to win the group going into the last game.

[WBT 20411]

Suarez scores to put Barca up 1-0 over Dortmund.  They already lead Dortmund by 1 point so they're looking to clinch the group with a win today.

As much as they have sold last year holding on to him and Tadic has been huge.

[WBT 20411]

Messi scores, 2-0

Liverpool needs to get it together 2nd half

[Captain Ron 12793]

Just flipped on the Liverpool game and they scored.

 

You're welcome

[Bone3421 716]

1-1
Lets go reds!#!

[Captain Ron 12793]

Slavia Prague just had a boner on defense and gave up a literal open net goal to Inter (Lukaku). Inter is up 2-1. That ties them with Dortmund at 7 of all results hold.

 

Even Lukaku couldn't miss this

 

Edited November 27, 2019 by Captain Ron

[Captain Ron 12793]

And Inter with the dagger, a beauty of a volley too.

[Bone3421 716]

Well liverpool going to need help last match day..

No. Just need to win our last match and we finish first.

[Bone3421 716]

I was wrong...was still in mindset of wanting last game not to matter

Liverpool just need to win next match

[Bone3421 716]

No. Just need to win our last match and we finish first.

Yeah i was in still win and rest last game mindset

[Bone3421 716]

[Bone3421 716]

Also i think valencia wins group with a win even if chelsea wins also...

[WBT 20411]

Napoli up 1-0 already

[WBT 20411]

Halftime, Napoli up 3-0 and Liverpool and Salzburg tied 0-0.  It looks like Napoli will be through with 12 points.  Liverpool will win the group at 13 points with a win, be 2nd at 11 points with a draw.  Salzburg will finish 2nd with a win as long as Liverpool score 2 goals or fewer.

[WBT 20411]

Wow, Liverpool score 2 in quick succession.

[mdmost 42827]

This might be Mo Salah's most ridiculous goal ever
