How seriously are we expecting the respective countries to take this game? Asking for someone with legalized gambling and who works from home.

Taken pretty seriously but the ref was Shyte. Jesus the dude was card happy not letting guys play. Jesus what's with Referee bias and Italian clubs and teams these days? 

Spain deservingly won and glad we didn't give up. Streak over and glad we didn't lose it in some BS match to some know nothing country either.

Yeah wherever you got that doesn't realize everyone calls it The San Siro. Only when Inter play is It Stadio Giuseppe Meazza

 

[CletiusMaximus]

The old cliche about a 2-0 lead rears its ugly head, and just like that Belgium is out.  France v Spain in the final.

 

[Eephus]

Nigeria lost at home to the Central African Republic on a 90th minute goal.

That would normally mean sack the coach but that would be complicated.since he hasn't been paid since January.

I saw that result, but had no idea about the pay thing.

I'll copy & paste you.

The Super Eagles are still top of their group.

They're playing the return match against Central African Republic next week in Cameroon because CAR doesn't have any stadiums that meet CAF's low standards.

Benzema made number 1 on SportsCenter's TopTen plays.  Year of the Benz.

ESPN+

I don't know if I even have that, lol.  I have the NBC one, the paramount plus, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Disney plus, and now I need another?  Wtf.

I you have Hulu and Disney+, you probably have the bundle with ESPN+.  Just try the same login you use for Hulu/Disney.  If you don't have the bundle, you're probably paying about the same for Hulu and Disney a la carte as you would for the bundle.

While we are discussing this - do not all smart TVs have the ESPN app?  I can’t for the life of me figure out how to install the app on my TV or get the app to screen mirror.

The good news, it worked.  Bad news, there was twenty seconds left in injury time when I finally got it, lol.  Thanks!

 

[PIK95]

Greece/Georgia starting now.

 

[El Floppo]

Sorry for the Google answer, @PIK95. In a weird pissy mood this am.

NYRB and Miami play soon in a crucial playoff implications match. Both teams fighting just below the cutoff.

**** Weird. Thought I posted this earlier. NY won 1-0, now just 3 points out of the last spot.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Don’t mind me. Just Benz scoring in the Nation’s League final.

Got to meet one of the greatest managers of all time today.  Bring it on haters!

was it me? I don't remember meeting you... but thanks! 

I also don't remember managing. but still- thanks!

Wow, that’s awesome.  Did you call him José or TSO?

How did he look in person without his glasses?

I saw him in Georgetown once when he was coaching DC United, but it was the holidays and he was with his family so I left him alone.

[bigbottom]

He was very nice, gracious and pretty low key. Hard for me not to ask for a selfie, but I try to have at least a bit of decorum.

Did you chat about Newcastle with him? 

 

[bigbottom]

Did you chat about Newcastle with him? 

Nothing more than introductions and polite chit chat. It was all of 60 seconds. He was busy. 

 

[gianmarco]

Being married for a while, this is very familiar for me.

 

[El Floppo]

Nothing more than introductions and polite chit chat. It was all of 60 seconds. He was busy. 

But obviously there was an extra 10-15 minutes of added time so you could get things done.

Unless he was wearing a puffy coat.

ManU under fire for flying the 100 miles to Leicester

Another passive offside not given.

If Salah is not offside, the defender does not make a play on the ball

United absolutely in shambles at the back today

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

This Villa / Wolves game has been fire emoji. 

 

[AAABatteries]

I’m excited to hear what the new excuses for Ole will be.

Didn’t know Big Sam was traveling in Rome.

About to become TripItUp’s number one candidate to replace Berhalter. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Villa, wait. 

 

[Poke_4_Life]

Villa, wait. 

Have Wolves even scored 3 goals this season before today? Wow. 

 

[NewlyRetired]

Haaland continues to disappoint.

After today's game he has exactly 49 goals in his first 49 Bundesliga games.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Have Wolves even scored 3 goals this season before today? Wow. 

Villa were in complete control. Wolves then scored the first (admittedly a very nice team goal) and the entire Villa team went full pucker mode. Wolves get a scrappy second goal. Then Villa wakes up and have two good set piece looks that they could have buried. Wolves get a free kick at the absolute death and Neves drills it into the back of the Villa defender for a huge deflection that goes in. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Just saw that Sarge “highlight.”  Oh, dear. 

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Brentford home crowd - “we’re just a bus stop in Hounslow”

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Brentford pouring on pressure like an actual swarm of bees.

Meanwhile, they've been all over Chelsea to close this out. Blues holding on for dear life

 

[El Floppo]

Brentford have looked legit this season. They deserved more here vs league leaders. Impressive for a newly promoted squad.
