That is a good plan. There is so much soccer on the air today they are probably juggling like crazy (no pun on intended).

Just minutes after hearing his name for the first time, I've become a huge supporter of former Spurs man @Ramon_Vega71 for FIFA prez.

I saw them on my phone this morning, not while I was posting in this thread, sorry...........
Here's Marcell Dareus attempting to juggle. More Dareus struggles.
Ron Brooks isn't much better at American football than he is at European football. (that's a real ball, not a miniball, it looked smaller on the phone this morning?)
Bills players and Spurs players mingling, and Jim Kelly attempting to teach Ledley King (I think) how to throw a football.
Spurs official twitter thanking the Bills for coming, Jim Kelly and Tyrod Taylor holding up Spurs jerseys, and it looks like Dareus and Vertonghen swapped shirts

So Arsenal pretty much have to get 3 points today vs Bayern or the next game at Bayern. Then they have to win their final two and have Bayern win their final two.
Also praying for a Dinamo/Olympiakos draw today and their next game. If one of these teams gets 6 points in the next two games,(or maybe even 4) then the group is pretty much over. Have to hope for a split or 2 draws
Would love this tonight:
Bayern 6
Olympiakos 4
Dinamo 4
Arsenal 3
Then in 2 weeks:
Bayern 9
Olmpiakos 5
Dinamo 5
Arsenal 3
Just spit-balling here, 2 draws vs Bayern isn't good enough, must come away with at least 3 points, and hope Dinamo or Olympiakos don't sweep each other.

One does not merely watch Roma replays...the ups, the downs...the duality of being such a supporter...it MUST be experienced live! It is a tangled web we weave, but despair not!...for one as foolhardy as I, must have a full supply of Bayer pain relief supplements readily available, as the inevitable uber-sturmz on the horizon doth beckon!.......(kafkadoesshakespeare)

eta: Knowing Arsenal, they will sweep Bayern, have control of their destiny again, then blow it at home vs. Dinamo.

After being disgusted by another bad Revs performance, I forgot to mention Drogba.
He was impressive and none of it came offensively. He worked his ### off defensively, tracking players, tackling, winning headers in the box defensively etc. Everyone around me in the stands could not help but notice and comment.
It was incredible to see a player his age and status doing all the little things you need to win. It is something I wish could pass to Jozy some how magically. Just because there is nothing happening offensively, you can still have a big affect on a game as a forward.

That was exciting!
Douglas Costa is as good as advertised, everything I hope Ox can be. He was the most dangerous player on the pitch. Lewandowski had me scared every time he touched the ball as well. Great, great team.
Olmpiakos winning puts a bit of a damper on things. If they beat Dinamo at home in two weeks, they have a choke hold on advancing only needing 1 point in the final two games if Arsenal don't get any points in Germany.
Bayern 6
Olmpiakos 6
Arsenal 3
Dinamo 3
ETA: Also sad about Ramsey. Looks like he could miss some time.

Also I want to say how much I 
Hector Bellerin. To have the energy in the 93rd minute to make that interception and run, with the assist to Ozil was incredible. I have no idea how he found that burst, that late in the game.

This is enormous news for Miami if true. If there is any one man who is responsible for dragging MLS out of the mom and pop shop era, it is Leiweke. He was the guy who convinced St Phil he could sign Beckham for LA and he was the guy who talked MLSE into spending a ton of money on TFC.
=========================
Report: Leiweke to join Beckham MLS group
Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment president Tim Leiweke may have found his next post, as the Miami Herald is reporting he is joining David Beckham’s MLS management team.
Leiweke would be part of the investment group that is currently negotiating with the City of Miami and Miami-Dade Country to have a stadium built in the same vicinity as Marlins Park.
An MLSE spokesperson told TSN's Pierre LeBrun, "It is one of the options that Tim is considering but not until his work in Toronto is completed."
Prior to running MLSE, the 58-year-old was president and CEO of Anschutz Entertainment Group which included the L.A. Kings, L.A. Galaxy, the Staples Center, StubHub Center, and the O2 in London.
He was responsible for bringing Beckham to the United States to play for the Galaxy.
According to the Miami Herald, the group is working towards a stadium agreement by Christmas.

And RSL did win 1-0 tonight (even though the competition dug up the corpse of Carlos Ruiz. This guy simply won't go away
)So the max 4 MLS teams are through but we won't know the quarter final match ups until tomorrow's game are done.

MLS has made a small change to the final weekend.
The original format was
*All ten games to be played on Sunday
*All eastern conference games to be played at 5:00pm
*All western conference games to be played at 7:00pm
*Games will be shown on ESPN, FS1, and WatchESPN with multiple cut aways to other games
However, due to NYR and Dallas being level on points in the chase for the Supporters Shield, MLS has moved the NYR-Chicago game to 7:00pm so that Dallas does not have the advantage of knowing what they need to do to win the SS.

Complete role reversal for Arsenal - that's what a majority of their loses have looked like the past 5 years.

Watched the match replay last night. Man, Bayern gives you no space to operate at all. Arsenal's quick short passing game might have been the only one in PL that could have dealt with it.

well this is ugly. Rooney has been nonexistent. Martial and Lingard look promising but out wide is hard for them to attack. Nice save on the PK to bad De Gea didnt get defensive help on the rebound. Need some goals here United.

United with the 1-1 draw. Outside 1 header another disappearing act by Rooney. Time to sit him and let Martial run up top.
For most of the game United looked uninspired going forward, no creativity, no movement. Held the ball for 70% of the game but didnt do anything in the offensive 3rd.
What is it with French guys and handballs?
Jones was crap on the PK, could have cleaned up the rebound but didnt move.
United lucky another handball wasnt called on Rojo.
Fellaini cant win a header, best move is to foul or chest trap. hes horrible.
Wolfsburg on top of the group
United and Moscow next
PSV last
Nov 3 United v Moscow

Martial was the goat and the hero. The handball was beyond ridiculous - WTF was he thinking. Nice header to make up for it.B Maverick said:

#### Bayer relief, watching Roma requires Percocet/Codeine at the very least...but I do so love Pjanic's return to form. Unfortunately, I see it being a bidding war between Barca & Bayern for his services this summer, those cant####s...

Pjanic in the heart of Bavaria
Pjanic in the streets of Catalan ...
Sorry, I'm going to have veto either of those moves on the grounds of insufficient shtick potential.

Wahl just posted this about Kries being replaced by Patrick Viera
======================
Multiple sources connected to Manchester City and New York City FC say Jason Kreis’s job as the coach at NYCFC is in real danger. It’s not a done deal yet, but all signs are pointing to his replacement being Patrick Vieira, the 1998 World Cup winner and former Arsenal star who has been serving as Man City’s elite development squad manager.

CCL Quarter Finals are set.
4 MLS teams vs 4 Liga MX teams
(team listed second plays the second leg at home)
Seattle vs Club America
Queratero vs DC
Tigres vs RSL
LA vs Santos
If these games are scheduled again for the MLS pre season, this could be a 4-0 win for Liga MX.
LA dropped from the 1st seed to the 5th seed on a 94th minute goal against them tonight.

Yes he was. Very poor decision on his part. But the PK still had to be taken. His team could have made it meaningless. De Gea did with the save. Jones let him down by not following the rebound. But also bad decision by Rojo to leave Martial as the defender.
Kafka
Footballguy
In his defense, he is 19...he has been the best signing in any league this year; him & DeGea make ManU twice the team they should be...so far...
