It was Polanco who got snipered, not Marte.
-
He'd be my bet for MoY this year. Washington underperformed due to injuries and Matt Williams so they were already a prime bounce-back candidate. If they win 90+ games and make the playoffs, he's going to be pointed to as part of the reason why.

We're not losing and we're probably not even tying. The last time the US failed to win a home qualifier was the final one for the 2010 Cup, a 2-2 tie against Costa Rica. That was the final qualifier and came 4 days after we clinched qualification. The last time the US lost a home qualifier was for the 2002 Cup, when they lost 3-2 to Honduras. Since that game, the US has played 28 home qualifiers. They've won 26 and drawn 2 (the other one was in the final game of the third round against Jamaica after we'd won the first 5 and I'd guess we played a bunch of reserves). They'll win 3-0, they'll roll Saint Vincent on the road and then come back home and beat T&T. This team was in the same position four years ago, won their next three games and then went 7-1-2 in the Hex. Klinsmann should be gone, but it's not going to happen yet.

Nice choke job by Virginia. Up 15 with 9:33 to play against a 10 seed and can't close it out.
-
We were in the same spot last cycle also. Beat Antigua at home then tied Guatemala and lost to T&T, both on the road. Assuming they don't turn this around, they'll be 1-1-1 again. It was Jamaica last cycle but yeah. Yeah, I was looking at both 2014 and 2018 and mixed up the two. We tied T&T in our second game this cycle.

LOL at the half court heave with 4 seconds left.

All UNI-aTm needs is Gus announcing.

Nice choke job by Northern Iowa.

Man City continue to be unable to beat good teams anywhere in the league this year. 0 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses against the top-6 this year and they're 2W, 3D, 9L against the top-10. Pretty happy with Spurs today. Two goals in the first 15 minutes put them well on their way and a third early in the second half killed the game off.

Winner of Iowa State-Virginia is going to get one of 10 Syracuse, 11 Gonzaga or 15 Middle Tennessee St. in the regional final.
-
I think they were good value for that 1-0; Oshazaki should have had at least 1 more at the start of the second half, and for all Palace's pressure in the final 15 their best chance fell to a central defender. Alan Pardew is not a good coach. He did this same "start strong and then lose a thousand straight games" at Newcastle. Yeah, they weren't bad by any means, but they probably should have only taken 4 points from the two games. Newcastle showed better than Palace, I thought.
-
It's amazing how Leicester transformed from a team that outscored teams to a good defensive team midseason. First 17 games: 37 GF, 24 GA Last 14 games: 17 GF, 7 GA Was really hoping Palace could get at least a draw today but it was the same story as the Newcastle game. Leicester didn't deserve to win and yet they pulled it out again.
-
Took two days but we're finally getting some good endings. Cincinnati dude should have gone for the layup instead of the dunk. Would have gotten rid of the ball quicker.
-
Northern Iowa-Texas was a ton of fun also. Cincy-St. Joes going down to the wire.
-
Nice possession, Michigan. Plenty of time to go for a quick 2 and foul and instead you burn most of the clock and take a long 3.
-
Ninth win by a double-digit seed this year, most since 2012, which also had 9. I went back a ways and couldn't find a year with 10 double digit seeds winning.

Quarterfinal draw: Wolfsburg-Real Bayern-Benfica Barcelona-Atletico PSG-Man City Plus we get Liverpool-Dortmund in the Europa League.

Stunner so far in Munich. Juve is up 2-0 after 28 minutes.
-
Just for curiosity's sake, I looked up some various lines on Bovada. Arsenal is +1000 to win the game +4000 to win by exactly 2 goals +8000 to win by exactly 3 goals +1400 to keep a clean sheet

UC Davis alum Quincy Amarikwa scores great goals while sporting terrible hairstyles.

Finally watching last week's review show and boy there were some dumb red cards last weekend. I knew Coquelin's second yellow was stupid but that was nothing. Mirallas appeared to be unlucky on the first yellow but on the second one, he had no business sliding in the way he did particularly in their attacking third. Both of Mata's were stupid also. It's virtually never a good idea to jump in front of the other team trying to take a quick free kick from just outside their own penalty area. And then he's on a yellow and is unnecessarily aggressive, again in ManU's attacking third. I particularly enjoyed van Gaal saying after the game that Mata shouldn't have been red carded because he's a good dude who had never gotten a red card before. Sorry Louis, that's not how things work.

Rafa Benitez started this season at one of the biggest clubs in the world. He'll finish it at a team struggling to avoid relegation.
