LOL Dortmund down 2-0 at home in the first half.

Reyna on after 60 minutes, assists in the 69th minute, game not over yet.

This has a real chance to make Reyna a legend.

Looks like they briefly had a lifeline as Bayern was tied for about 8 minutes. Not anymore though.

Bayern lose at home to Leipzig meaning Dortmund can win the title by winning their last two games. Can’t wait to see which one they blow.

Well now we know - they lost the title on goal difference on the final day.

Lots of beers will be had in Dortmund and Munich, but for different reasons.

Dortmund fumbling the bag and Gio getting two assists off the bench, looking like the only attacker on their team with balls and a clue, proving he should’ve been playing more all year is both peak Dortmund and peak Gio. Weird season. Weird player. Weird team.

[wolf stansson]

gotta respect Bayern’s ability to avoid complacency

[soccer10k]

Not too surprising since it’s their worst season points wise since 10-11.

Luton and Coventry going to PKs to decide Premier League promotion.  Horvath is the Luton keeper, should be fun.

[UMFan83]

Luton wins it...Horvath didn't do much though, 0-5 on PKs, the 6th sailed high and wide of the net clinching the win.

Luton has a 10,000 seat stadium and has $10m worth of work to do over the next couple of months to be able to host Premier League matches.  10 years ago, Luton was in the 5th tier National League, now they're in the PL

Looks like Tottenham buried the Leeds today.

Relegation battles are stressful. Somehow survived

Well written article on how Leeds' downfall wasn't Marsch and the Americans' fault, but rather the opposite:

TLDR: Under Marsch, Leeds was a good team with unfortunate bad results. After Marsch, Leeds was the worst team in the league both in performance and results, coinciding with Adams getting hurt with about 6 weeks to play.

I actually like places like Kenilworth Road because they have an authentic feel. The equivalent in Belgium would be Dudenpark in Brussels, where Union Saint Gilloise will play for the national championship next weekend.

Off course, they had to play all their European fixtures at a different venue this season and are now focused on building a new stadium ( like Luton)

[wolf stansson]

The Marsch effect is tougher for me to assign value to, but I’m definitely comfortable taking away the fact that Tyler Adams is super valuable from the Leeds relegation.

U20 USMNT playing the round of 16 against New Zealand now. Up 1-0 in the 21st minute and dominating possession.

[bukie]

Hard to believe the US looks this good in a World Cup knockout match.

Up 4-0 now in the 90th minute, it's all over but the final whistle.

[bukie]

US U-20s make their fourth straight World Cup quarterfinals.

They have lost in the quarters in the last 3 WCs. Their opponent this time will be either Gambia or Uruguay.

Messi is rumored to have made a decision between Miami and the Saudis, and my inter Miami season ticket rep has called twice in the last few days. I didn’t answer due to being busy, but I wonder if it means anything.

It means they’re trying to get you to buy tickets before Messi announces he’s going to Saudi Arabia.

[wolf stansson]

My feeling as well. They’re going to try to get me to re-up for next season before the news

[wolf stansson]

looks like the domestic squad will handle the gold cup and the internationals will handle nations league. Good squad.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

elsewhere in 'Messi is not coming to Miami' vibes

 

[wolf stansson]

Feel like that’s a good sign. Time to bring in Messi’s guy, whoever be wants.

So which Dallas United player dropped the n-bomb against West Ham?

I see that Dallas responded in true Texas pearl-clutching fashion and withdrew from the tournament because of the slanderous allegation, rather than investigating it.

That's an ... interesting start to the Cup final. 😁
