Dammit Fred - I hate you, why'd you have to go and do that.

 

[B Maverick]

Like I said they need to keep Fred on

 

[AAABatteries]

95% certain that pass was for Antony but who cares.

 

[AAABatteries]

Bruno should get a yellow for that.

Also, thank god ETH apparently gave Fred some speed during halftime.

For kicking the ball into a diving De Jong?

 

[Desert_Power]

Barcelona bench is pretty sad today with injuries. They need to get Torres as on as he can keep the ball with his dribbling

 

[AAABatteries]

Bruno should get a yellow for that.

Also, thank god ETH apparently gave Fred some speed during halftime.

For kicking the ball into a diving De Jong?

Yep, 100% and he did.

 

[AAABatteries]

Yes! 2-1 with Antony the goal scorer.

 

[B Maverick]

ANTONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2-1

 

[AAABatteries]

I was going to write this earlier but Busquets can still read the game and pass fantastic - but he's slow as **** after never being really fast.

Yep. He was never fast but his speed has really declined. One of the key factors holding Barcelona back against quality sides in the European competitions.

 

[B Maverick]

Varane off the line!!!

I love the passion of this Def without the slab

 

[Desert_Power]

Time to focus on the league.

Shame that matchup happened so early, but it was fun.

 

[AAABatteries]

Another momentum building win for ETH. Remarkable what he’s done so far. Looking forward to what he can do with a few transfer windows.

You agree it was a yellow, right?

 

[B Maverick]

Depending on the whistle

But yeah, it was fully intentional, you don't boot the ball like that at that spot of the field if you didn't mean it. De Jong dove, but Bruno meant to.

All in on Shakhtar.

 

[titusbramble]

Union seem very live to make at least the quarters. If you'd told nine years ago me that when I was stood on their Gegengerade watching them lose to Paderborn, not long after the fans had rebuilt the ground, I'd have immediately demanded some of the drugs you were on

 

[titusbramble]

Enormous 90 minutes for us that, beating a dangerous Watford outfit after we lost the last two, coupled with Boro losing gives us a seven point lead back, still with a game in hand

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Wow... Shaktar is roughly as good as an MLS/Championship side. Getting to the quarters is really cool -- hadn't paid any attention at all until I saw the chatter upthread.

You can still get them at 100-1.

 

[El Floppo]

why was Newcastle postponed today?

 

[NewlyRetired]

why was Newcastle postponed today?

League Cup final is tomorrow. Newcastle is in the final.

 

[The Z Machine]

Suck it Real

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Barca have given up 7 goals in 23 league games.

 

[AAABatteries]

MLS still has some ridiculous time wasting.

 

[NewlyRetired]

MLS still has some ridiculous time wasting.

The league is chalk full of Latin American players (North and South American) and time wasting is in the dna unfortunately.

The product has gotten so much better but more consistent reffing and stopping this nonsense would really help the league, IMO.

 

[AAABatteries]

Wow - fantastic goal from Almada.

 

[AAABatteries]

OMG - Almada x 2 in ET to win it for AUFC. Damn my luck - sold my seats to the game as I’m moving my parents this weekend.

 

[AAABatteries]

Not hyperbole - that may be the greatest combined two free kicks goals in ET ever. That’s ridiculous.

• Thiago Almada (90'+3', 90'+9')

ETA - I’m an idiot (and drinking) - first goal wasn’t a free kick but still two ridiculous strikes

 

[whoknew]

Awesome, awesome goal by Driussi to end the first half here in Austin. #listosverde

Beautiful finish. What in gods name happened to the CB's on that long ball?

have to say I have to thank the new AppleTV deal because I watched all this live. The freekick was nice and it was last kick of game but the first goal was :chefkiss:

But I also need to give a shout out to MLS for such a garbage 360 product that I felt forced to just watch one game as the reason I was watching this one.

Watching it now - I’d be fine with this studio style if they would show a match at the same time and then cut in for goals and other plays.

ETA - to be clear - those screens behind them and then moving to different cameras is HORRIBLE

just from the clip- looks like the CBs held the high line at the MF stripe, while the LB decided to do the opposite.

 

[AAABatteries]

Seriously - what idiot thought that up? You get to watch the action and then they change cameras to a closeup up Seb? Brutal

 

[AAABatteries]

Haven’t seen that in a while. Austin defender passed it back to a STL player to put him in on goal - either he just didn’t see him or thought he was a teammate.

And now STL takes the lead 3-2 in the 86th!!!

 

[AAABatteries]

Wow - STL takes a lead in Austin with a great goal. I think that may have been against the same defender. If it is, that poor kid is going to have nightmares.
