Leicester got lucky in the group stage draw with what was easily the weakest group, then they got a little lucky to miss the best three teams in the Round of 16. There won't be any hiding in the quarterfinals as the weakest team (besides them) is going to be Dortmund/Atletico/Monaco. Just for the fun of it, I hope they get Bayern. Regardless of who they get, it will be cool for their fans to get to see one of the big clubs come to Leicester.

Also got lucky Sevilla couldn't convert a penalty. i wonder if a team this bad has ever gotten this far.

Good win for Dallas tonight. Acosta is playing great right now.

He's coming on very strong. I'd love to see him in a midfield with MB, but I doubt Bruce takes that kind of chance in these crucial q's.

My US line leading forward depth chart:

Bobby Wood

Jozy

J Morris

Dom?

 

 

That's not even including the support fwd depth of J Mo, Deuce, Gyasi, et al.

 

Most importantly this should cement his kid as USMNT future prospect. The Leroux-Dwyer genes have to stay in the US.

Arsenal looking at Dortmund's Thomas Tuchel to replace Wenger.

 

Might as well start the Pusilic to Arsenal rumors. Make Arsenal Great Again.
