HOLY COW!!!! What a first game.

bjho852 · 08-12-2020, 04:00 PM

A dramatic turn of events saw PSG pip Atalanta and advance to the semi-final.
Felt bad for Atalanta, but the usual suspect defense cost them dearly at the end.

valuable lesson for the kids out there; sit back and try to protect a lead instead of during what your team is good at and you're going to get burned. rip Atalanta.

you couldnt have said it better. they completely changed their game to hold on to the lead and it ended up biting them in the butt.

Atlanta trying to defend is probably one of the worst tactical decisions of the season. Terrible.

fadster · 08-12-2020, 05:23 PM

Tactical madness by Atalanta, they panicked as soon Mbappe came on. Jarring to see Choupo-Moting score the winner, we know for sure he can't do it on a cold wet night in Stoke. To be fair to PSG their shape was a lot better with Both Neymar and Mbappe, up until then despite missing a couple of great chances Neymar carried them on his back the first hour, Sarabia and Icardi were woeful.

I signed up for the CBS app and will cancel it right after the Final, so I won't get charged. Of course I think the Final will be on network CBS, or at least it should be. I feel this will change starting next year and we will start seeing more matches on network TV here in the states, especially the C.L.

So gross, Neymar fans on his shot and gets the perfect bounce for a garbage goal. Yuck.

bjho852 · 08-13-2020, 04:03 PM

Athletico Madrid is out....I personally wanted them to win it all.

reddragonthe · 08-13-2020, 05:18 PM

Tyler Adams is v v good at soccer. Would be a huge part if there is ever a successful American team internationally. His best traits, IMO is his box to box play and I don't expect him to be a big scorer. And he did get a deflection to get it in.

BUT WHAT A GOAL FOR TYLER ADAMS!!! I know the non-americans in here kinda shrug and wonder what the hell is wrong with us... but an American on THIS stage getting a game winner is what we are hungry for.

This is a card board, so... his Bundesliga stuff had already pretty much dried up and now should take a jump price-wise what little is even left. Which is KIND OF a bummer, as I thought he was a nice sleepy priced player to stash for a while given the 2026 factor and a possible role he'd play.

He's one heck of a talent. The USMNT is loaded in the middle with McKennie, Adams, and Reyna. Unfortunately, the biggest variable for the U.S. is going to be health, as Pulisic, Adams, and Weah have had significant health issues over the last year or so.

The route is on. Bayern is on a mission.

My goodness....a supposedly hard fight turned into a lopsided slaughter.

obenheimer · 08-14-2020, 02:44 PM

I was a little nervous after Alaba decided to even the game again. 5 goals scored by 4 Bayern players. Might want to investigate the Barca goalie, to make sure he's not a spy for Bayern. He's passed the ball more to them than his own team.

Barca just being undressed. Every attacker for Bayern has looked incredible. The helper to Gnabry was sublime from Muller.

That was a great pass to him and how he was able to keep his composure after being grabbed and held and still able to score.

Crazy thing is I'm not even sure Bayern are playing that well, they've been too open at the back with a very high line but when you're opponents keep giving you the ball in the final third you don't need to be.

Who are you talking about?
They are winning 4-1... at half

Barca is a mess.

Do they even know how to play anymore? It could easily be 10 or more goals for Bayern. Probably should be honestly.
