Oh my god I just saw a clip of the equalizing goal.

 

That was absolute [expletive] defending. How do you leave a guy 15 yards of space between your CBs?

 

Great chest-flick to play him through, but lord in heaven. Dat defending.

Suarez tears are delicious and wonderful.

 

Wonder if the stadium was playing Oasis - Stop Crying your Heart Out?

Liverpool=2003 Cubs.

 

Ha, yeah. I made that comparison last week in this thread. I just didn't expect it to get worse. Sigh.

City/Villa is getting interesting.

Aaaaaand Dzeko murders the dreams of every Liverpool fan in the world.

Going to be a pretty boring Sunday. Norwich, Fulham and Cardiff are for sure down. City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal are for sure in the UCL. City just has to not lose to win the title.

Anybody have any idea what it would take for me to get tix to Bayern Munich this weekend?

[wolf stansson]

I haven't watched Sunderland in a few months, but I am completely surprised they survived relegation.

I don't think it would be that hard to get. Don't think they would be at that much of a premium either.

They haven't been all that bad the last half of the season and not worse than the bottom 3. Fulham on the other hand are awful.

The game is officially sold out, but have you tried their ticket exchange? Viagogo

No, but thank you.

Sounds like the US and Belgium will be playing a friendly in Brazil right before the WC starts like we did vs Australia in South Africa.

I guess there aren't a ton of options, but that seems like an odd choice given the chance that they're a Round of 16 opponent.

I doubt it; confirmed preparation matches for Belgium are Luxemburg (05/26), Sweden (06/01) and Tunisia (06/07); they depart for Brasil on 06/10 and play their first WC game on 06/17.

I can't see them scheduling an additional game in that final week.

This is where the rumor stemmed from:

 

[wvcbxl]

The Belgian FA just confirmed it, calling it a "training session with a sparring-partner" and not an official game.

It will also be behind closed doors.

[wolf stansson]

We did one of these last time around with Australia. Very low key, lots of subs etc.

[USSoccer]

Kind of odd we'd play a closed-door game against a potential R16, but whatever.

 

Omar Gonzalez is out for a couple weeks at least with a knee injury of some sort.

If we can get another one of these finishes on Sunday, that would be great.

[shnsajax]

I've watched this a couple of times today. One of the most exciting moments I have ever watched on TV.

 

Really hoping City goes down a goal early.

Nearly impossible actually, $300+ Euro

So apparently nobody wants to win La Liga.

 

Atletico tied at home, Barcelona tied on the road and Real Madrid lost on the road today. So the winner of Barcelona-Atletico next weekend wins the title with Atletico winning it if they tie.

I like championships that are decided on the final day in a head to head :good:
