Pretty weak effort by Ronaldo there. Muy trieste.

That has to be CR's 100th goal with that identical cut in move from the left.

Looking like my plan to make myself a few manhattans and fire up the old DVR for the last 30 minutes of this game is going to be money.

Kind of liking that Malaga has been able to right the ship. So what big team steals Isco in January?

To make things slightly worse for Man City, Robert Lewandowski scored in the 87th minute to give Dortmund a 1-0 home win over Ajax.

I know Tottenham and United were interested in August. I believe Tottenham even made a bid, but moved on to Moutinho when it was rejected.With Wilshere returning I don't see Arsenal being interested anymore.

Zabaleta made a bad defensive gamble. Why not just wait for the inevitable cut-in?

That's become an intriguing group. Milan is an absolute mess right now, drew at home with Anderlecht today. Malaga has a decent shot to advance.

I can believe it. They had most of the ball and took a lot of pointless long shots.

ESPN has them down for only 55% of possession, that seems really low to me.

There was something like $300m of value sitting on RM's bench today.

Outside of very poor reviews from his two previous games I have not heard anything. I looked to see if he was hurt but did not find anything on a quick search. On a more positive note, Lichaj and Guzan both seem to be settling into Villa's lineup. Guzan got back to back starts when Given was healthy and he reportedly played well in both so we may be seeing a change of guard at Villa, which is very welcomed. Having one more top flight keeper in form reduces the enormous risk the US has with Howard getting injured.

Going strictly on current market value seen here, it looks like about 200m Euros. Pretty good:http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/real-madrid/startseite/verein_418.html

I know this is 
, but man I get so aggravated with coverage of the Champions League and the English favoritism.
Wednesday's tv coverage:
Fox Soccer + is showing the Manchester match live, at 5 they are showing the Chelsea match, at 9 the Manchester match again, at 11 the Barcelona match and at 4AM the Bayern match. By the way, I don't get this station!
Fox Socer is showing the Chelsea match live, at 5 they are showing the Chelsea match, at 1:30am Barcelona and at 4am Chelsea again.
The various miscellaneous Foxes are showing the Barcelona match live.
Fox Deportes is showing the Barcelona match live, at 5 Manchester, at 7 Chelsea and finally at 9 Bayern!
I mean, Bayern has only won the title 4 times and only been in the finals 9 times ... including 2 of the last 3.
If these listings are wrong and I can see Bayern before 9 and in English I would be thrilled to know about it.

You really should not get too frustrated by it, it is just a simple business decision. If Fox had only the Bundesliga as there only real viable domestic league I bet you would see plenty of German team coverage. But instead Fox is in bed with the EPL and it only stands to reason that they will tend to show more coverage of the EPL teams, on the whole, in international competition.To answer your last question, you can watch the Bayern game live, in English and in HD on channel 481 on Direct TV for free (assuming you have Direct TV) as part of their wide span coverage of the UCL.I know this is

Oh I get that it's a business decision, but it's still frustrating. When the matches were divided out and I saw that Bayern was playing the same days as ManUre, Chelsea and Barca I knew what I was in for.You really should not get too frustrated by it, it is just a simple business decision. If Fox had only the Bundesliga as there only real viable domestic league I bet you would see plenty of German team coverage.

Fortunately Bayern usually advance far enough that when spring gets here they are still playing and are one of the only choices to show. Needless to say I will go media blackout until 9pm tonight. Now if I can just convince my coworker from Spain to watch with me and translate.

Looks like Oscar gets a start in Chelsea's midfield today, with Ramires and Hazard, in favor of Mata or Bertrand. Torres still getting the love up front. Should be a good one. I love watching Andrea Pirlo play and am looking forward to seeing how RDM gameplans him. I'm out - go Chels.
Looks like a good decision.

Led to great exchange on the ESPN liveblog.James Tyler (I'm paraphrasing): A thing of beauty. A goal that would leave Ray Hudson speechless.

Online comment: Isn't the point with Ray Hudson that he's the opposite of speechless?
James Tyler: And that's how jokes work.

Looks like my experience coaching The Purple Twisters, a girls U7 team, is finally going to pay off. You haven't motivated and developed young players until you've broken them of the habit of stopping in the middle of the game to pinch you en masse.
If he keeps at it long enough. Right now he is no better than Jozy - helping his club team, while leaving his national team high and dry.Messi might turn out to be a decent player some day.
