Champions League 2017-2018

[sidis 9,990]

Go Juve, Bayern, City, and Barca. 

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 945]

Visca El Barca

Valverde will somehow get this team to snooze to a treble.  Everyone else will wonder how the fuck they let that happen.

[Cheeseweasel 26,439]

Are we still in this?

[Speedtrucker 2,096]

Hala Madrid 

zizou has them switching into Champions League championship mode.

I didn't realize that Real was attempting to compete in any of the other competitions this year.

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 945]

And we are back

[Captain Ron 13,097]

[texasdago 7,753]

Forze Juve... !!!  May suck in finals but can beat teams like Madrid in the quarter finals.

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 945]

The Juve fans are ready to go.

[Captain Ron 13,097]

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 945]

What the fuck?  Anybody else get the feed go out?

Just kidding.  Got it back.

[Captain Ron 13,097]

That was fast.

 

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 945]

Well, that didn't take long.

The pass from Marcelo was fantastic. shitty Juve defending.

You might want to cover #7

[maninblack 7,975]

Well shit

[Longhornfan1024 1,707]

Juve's strategy of waiting until Real scores to try really seems to be a winner.

[Longhornfan1024 1,707]

lol.  Watching the replay if Ronaldo hadn't scored it would have been an obvious penalty.  Good job, Juve.  

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 945]

Nice save by the Tico

[Firemans4Horn 18,500]

What a save by Navas

[Cheeseweasel 26,439]

Dybala is either the shittiest great player or the greatest shitty player.

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 945]

This game just feels like Juve are going to get another 3 clear chances, but won't score.  Real will hit two on the counter and the tie will be over by the 70 min.  Hope I'm wrong.

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 945]

Well, looks like Sevilla scored.

Damn. I figured RM/Juve would be the game to watch

He benefits from playing on a team that has way more talent than just about everyone in their league.  If he were in a league with more parity, he'd be considered decent to good but not great.  That's why it seems like he always shits the bed in CL--expectations from his league play are too high for what he can do versus better competition.

[Captain Ron 13,097]

Tied up in Sevilla.

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 945]

Jesus Chielini should have buried that.

[Captain Ron 13,097]

OG for Navas.

[HenryJames 67,116]

Jesus doesn't save.

[Captain Ron 13,097]

BTW - the Sevilla-Bayern game is on Facebook.

[Captain Ron 13,097]

This ref (in Italy) kind of sucks.

Fair enough. I know he's young, too. You just don't hear his name thrown around in the "Barca/RM is gunning for...." conversation.

 

[Cheeseweasel 26,439]

Divebala.

[Zepol87 9,308]

Looked like a clear handball to me

[Firemans4Horn 18,500]

Glad the ref spotted the dive

[Captain Ron 13,097]

I'm not sure that's a dive. There is some pretty heavy contact there.

He tripped over the ball.

Really.  I don't think he has been too bad.  I don't think that handball gets given very often.  He didn't fall for Dybala's dive.  He has let them play and nothing is getting too chippy yet.

I thought the replay was pretty clear and Dybala's face afterward seemed to confirm that.  

[Speedtrucker 2,096]

So-so half.

juve are doing good work on the right side.

CR7 doing what he does, score in champions league.

fox is terrible, great time to run a HD check and the commentary on elbows being up not being a foul.  Accidental or not, the player is responsible for not throwing bows.

Heavy contact with the ground.  The challenge was pretty risky by Casemiro but he made 0 contact 

[Firemans4Horn 18,500]

Dybala is a diving bitch

[Captain Ron 13,097]

This Ronaldo kid isn't too bad.

[Goo Punch 4,275]

OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH shit that was tight!

As much as I hate him, that was a freaking amazing goal.

Wow.
