that second Tillman goal was sublime . . . but he was good all game long. but, against Shakhtar

that does seem a style that would suit Dest.

"However, had Núñez shot wide or seen his effort saved, that would have brought the VAR into play. When a goal hasn't been scored, the DOGSO offence belongs to the player (Salah) rather than the team (a chance for another player.) The VAR would have been able to recommend a review for a red card against Bailey; Salah was ahead of the Aston Villa player with the ball in front of him, running towards goal and with no prospect of Lucas Digne being able to get back on the cover."

pretty sure you can give the card after playing advantage. you certainly see cautions that way all the time

wrong

good challenging matches

Ter Stegen's season appears to be over. Maybe an opportunity for that young American (Diego Kochen) whose name I already forgot? Inaki Pena is their backup but he was a disaster last year. Side note, if you want to see the rise of a star, tune in for Lamine Yamal. Real deal

Barca played Thursday, today, and again Tuesday. wtf?

the games so far sure don't sell the new format. well, except dortmund-brugge, which was a fantastic watch

my observation is that it's much easier to score on the counter than it is when you pin a team in. you have to have exceptional technical talent to break down defenses once they are set up, even Barca seems to be realizing this (perhaps because they can no longer afford the exceptional talent)

possession is over-rated

thank goodness Poch is on board to "clean up this horsefeathers"

I don't think Alex Morgan ever had any trouble getting sex if she wanted it.

crappy manager, interim manager, repeat . . .

right?
