Still amazed that a 16 year old baby played most of that game and did not #### the bed...

He put them in a couple really unnecessarily bad spots...but otherwise, yeah- wow. Kid probably can't even drive himself to games yet.

Would be nice if some of these US/Mex kids pick the US

Can’t say enough positive things about Obed Vargas in those 15 mins. He’s 16. Comes off the bench unexpectedly without a warmup, in an intense continental final and *immediately* looked settled & composed. 16!!!!

@USMNTgoals

I’m 16 sitting here doing my math homework while watching this game

As good as City has been and as much as they've dominated the EPL the last few years, the fact that they've made only 1 UCL finals during that time (and ever) and lost has to be a reflection on him, right?

Since they got the money I'd estimate they're ~3 CL wins below expectation. It's a reflection on Pep, but also on how they spend the money - only having got one striker right in 15 years and spending nine figures on one player that doesn't improve their starting lineup as Grealish plays in their strongest position is comical

If you'd told me 5 years ago that Liverpool would be deserved favorites in a Champions League final and looking to crush the dreams of the never-say-die, plucky underdogs, Real Madrid, I'm not sure I'd have believed you.

I think they'll only be slight favorites in the final.  They have more talent and a better manager, but one should never count out Real in CL. They've crushed many dreams before in that tournament. 

 
uh-oh bubbles.

early red card to Cresswell, and already down a goal in aggregate. still 0-0 at least... but have to chase a goal to get back into this one.

and Gers have tied it up vs RBL. Adams and Sands heavily involved so far (texting each other cat memes from opposing benches).

Wycombe scored 2 and kept a clean sheet in the home leg. of the League One playoff semis. 

Lower division legend Adebayo "The Beast" Akinfenwa came in as a late sub one week shy of his 40th birthday.  Pace was never a key part of his game but he was lapped by the defenders the couple of times he had to sprint.

What happened to Chelsea's defense?  Last year if they took a 2 goal lead you might as well as take a nap.  Game was over.  Right now I'm not sure they hold on for top 4 with how easily they're conceding.  Shocking.

 
Bristol Rovers win 7-0 to get promoted back to League One :shock:

or is it for a playoff spot? Trying to piece together from Twitters

playoff spot I believe as they came in 3rd.  They  picked up 13 of their last possible 15 points of the season.

edit: whoops, ignore what I said, top 3 get promoted automatically so they are promoted coming in 3rd on goals for (the huge win today got them even on GD)

Yeah. Apparently fans rushed the pitch after the goal and the match was stopped for a bit too. I'll look for a video later, about to head out for Inter Miami at Charlotte.

 
BHA are ripping United apart.  They're always nice to watch with the passing and skill, but United aren't getting close to them.  They are a long long way from being good again right now.  Not even sure who you'd keep to build around.

 
Great game, feels like either team could have pulled that out even though Liverpool seemingly had more chances. I'm guessing xG will favor them by 0.5-0.75. 

Obviously City needs to lose now. Don't see it happening, but you never know. 

 
Turned on what I thought was EPL, but is English women...and Sam Kerr with an absolutely stunning class goal for Chelsea to...I think, seal the title.

It was high press, pass back to MU GK who had to play it deeper out. Won by a Chelsea head just inside midfield and hit directly to Kerr who was set up a 10 yards or so outside the box. She received it off her chest with back to goal, turned in the same motion and volleyed it before it hit the ground- perfectly dipping over the scrambling back GK just below the crossbar. It's worth a look if anybody can link it

Actually saw Roger Bennett tweet it out

thank you... the abilities- touch off that chest, agility on the turn, creativity and instinct while trapping and turning to realize the GK has been caught out and to try this, vision to find the goal and GK in the middle of trapping and turning, and then perfect technique on the shot to hit it high and trust the dip- so hard to do any single one of those to make this play work. taking out everything else about the play (GK watching her own clearance wtihout moving back to goal, marking a little lapse- although tbf to MU, late in the game and chasing a goal)...it's an absolutely brilliant goal.

 
Howler from the Leeds GK and a beauty of a goal from Everton within seconds of each other have Leeds in the relegation zone right now.
