wow, and Mourinho gets to park his bus, having gone one goal up and playing with an extra man

might be sort of a "cup final" for him to pull one over Pep... Who knows, Spurs may just get a FA Cup out of all this

edit: spoke too soon; they've pulled another one over City...

damn,

son of former USMNT captain uncorked an absolute stunner in a Cup match today. I think he has far more potential than Pulisic.

KP reports in his biography that several other german squad players expressed relief Ballack wasn't there for the tournament, he wasn't exactly popular...

Copa - 30 minutes into the first half and RM is being outplayed.

Generalissimo Franco, your muchachos took a helluva beating!

Haha - Yup - Announcer said it is only the 2nd time in 32 years that RSO made it to the quarterfinals.

Ath vs barce on now - Messi getting frustrated - rare yellow for him.

would be swell if both Basque teams advance

btw, it seems that ESPN+ provides quite a bit of content for the money. Serie A matches and lots of cup matches from Europe, all for $5/month. I haven't had proper ESPN in ages, but if they have a pass fore Euro 2020, I'll definitely pay for it (or switch my Sling service from Fox Sport to ESPN)

Speaking of which, Fox charges $20/month for basically coverage of all Bundesliga matches, while NBC charges $65/year for all Premier League matches. All in all, the offerings from Fox is the worst.

RM and Barce are both out

7 yellow cards on Barce.
Got testy - announcer even referenced the 1984 Copa and the Maradona brawl.

I do like ESPN+. You get alot (for cost of Starbucks latte per month) and not just soccer either. Their feed is great, never any interruptions or breakups. I had beIN in the past and their feed was terrible.

That whole Barça team is full of whingers and practitioners of the dark arts. Swarming the ref after Messi gets fouled is a standard tactic. Mes que un club my arse, both in how they play and how its board behaves.

Also, rather fitting that Leo Messi got tamed at a stadium named for a saint known for taming lions

Ibra has energized Milan.
Conte the players he wanted and has Inter rolling.

Finally a race for the Scudetto. Inter and Juve tied for first with Lazio a point behind.
Next week for Inter: Wed play Napoli in the coppa and the weekend Lazio.
Thursday - Juve/Milan

Looks like I picked the wrong time to cancel my ESPN+ subscription.

Watched the movie on a UAL flight the other day.
Pretty good.
Didn't recall the whole 1990 WC San Paolo ITA - ARG semi final situation and how this triggered the beginning of the end for him.
Interesting and tragic for sure.

Yup - love him when he's playing on your side, but when he's not.......
Walter Z let in that goal which ended the shutout streak of over 500 minutes without a goal.
Did the movie touch upon him asking the Napoli fans to root for Arg instead of Italy?
