Coppa Italia Juve today at 3p

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Ghana give up a 4th minute goal, then go down a man in the 25th minute and are facing a potential elimination from the tournament today in a shocker. At least the Gunners will be happy getting Thomas Partey back a little earlier than expected.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Senegal and their host of Euro stars top the group having scored just one goal - a 97th minute penalty against Zimbabwe. 

 

[Desert_Power]

One of the craziest ends to a shootout I've ever seen in the German cup.

are they saying he double hit when he slipped?

Ghana went down 2-0 in the 61st, then scored two short-handed goals to tie it up, 2-2 in the 85th but have just given up the lead.  Now 3-2 very late.  Not watching, just following updates. 

Hakim Ziyech scored today, but it was for Chelsea against Brighton as he's not with the Morrocan team this month.  Morocco went down a goal to Gabon today in a potentially huge upset, but its now even at 2-2.

Penalty Rabona = goal disallowed + mandatory 3 game suspension.

 

[Desert_Power]

Yeah, but I still have never really seen it clearly. Feel like you should get a mulligan for turf malfunction.

I assumed that was the call, but then I didn't see it on the close-up. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I’m still not 100% convinced that a nation called Comoros exists.

Firmino signaling for Minamino to jump on his back for the celebration is peak Bobby Chompers.  

It was Taki's birthday.

90 +5, 90+7

I'm glad I watched LEI-TOT instead of AFCON today

90 +5, 90+7

that escalated slowly.

I"m watching Musah and Valencia... was not the right choice.

94:52 - Tottenham have beaten Leicester despite trailing after 94 minutes and 52 seconds

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Incredible result for Spurs.  Now just 1 point behind West Ham with 3 games in hand, 8 points behind Chelsea with 4 games in hand. Spurs at Stamford Bridge on Sunday is huge.

Thats why today was such an important game for Spurs.  Spurs will still be without Son, Dier, and Romero, so getting any points at Chelsea was always going to be a tough ask.

This is the final two minutes - from just before the equalizer to the winner.

Was it Tielemans who just passed it right to a Spurs player's feet?  

Now I have to search Twitter for Deluded Brendan's reaction.

Player wide open on the right who could have just dribbled to the corner and saw the draw out.  Amazing bottle job by LC

I think teams are much more prone to attack in that scenario rather than settle for the draw.  Just a really bad giveaway and it caught their defenders flat footed.

Maybe - but I thought it was a shocking decision at the time.  Spurs scored at 94:52 of a game scheduled to go 90+5.  Surely you don't realistically expect to score from there - a couple of passes and the whistle blows.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Arsenal back to full strength.

Give their medical staff a trophy, imo.

(The) Gambia beats Tunisia on the last kick of the game.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Welcome back to London, Partey!

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Focusing on the Cups.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Anyone watching Goal Rush?

More like Goal Take-Your-Time - amirite?

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

No way this is a pen.

If VAR overturns it it's a crime.  Jota initiated that contact and he'd lost the ball over the line.

ETA:  terrible call.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Don't remember the last time I felt like Liverpool had to cling to a lead and hold on for the win like that.  Very 2014 vibe to the 2nd half.  No control of the game at all.

Liverpool accept the gift. They have some shockers against them this season but that's never, ever a penalty.

 

[Eephus]

Gabon Gabon Hey!

 

[El Floppo]

that Ziyech goal :abondanza:

 

[Eephus]

Burkina Faso-Gabon heading to penalties. Gabon deserves to advance; they've played a man down for 70 minutes and managed a late equalizer.

oh, damn... I thought they were through based on your Ramones post.

Gabonese keeper has been huge

Chelsea are lucky Morocco didn’t want him at AFCON.

Super Eagles, wait.

Alex Iwobi subbed in at the hour mark and picked up a red card six minutes later.  Here's his heat map

BALOGUN starts.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Kind of annoying that ESPN list Man United as "MNU"

 

[Sinn Fein]

Pogba drawing Pens like he was never gone.

ETA - how does autocorrect get Pogo from Pogba?

 

[Sinn Fein]

RONALDOOOOOO....oh no

 

[Sinn Fein]

Sancho will get credit, but it looked like Owen Goal got a foot on it.
