For your lunch break - two good articles about Sevilla FC's Europa League love affair:
UNDERSTANDING SEVILLA'S LOVE AFFAIR WITH THE EUROPA LEAGUE
The secret behind Sevilla’s success? Meet Monchi, the transfer wizard

I have no idea what to expect. Villarreal honestly never threatened us defensively, and they finished higher than Sevilla...Half day in order and practice cancelled for tonight here.
But I imagine Sevilla has kind of mirrored our situation, where they focused on the Europa and de-prioritized the league. They also must do well in tournaments, as they've won this thing twice in a row and also are in a final this weekend.

Pretty interesting stuff. That being said, I think the author under-estimates Liverpool's desire to win this game. I think Liverpool are far more "desperate" to win this than Sevilla. At some level, that's a bit irrelevant, as both teams will be giving 100%, but the Liverpool players aren't just out to win it in order to get to the CL.

Good times!
HFS! I do, coincidentally, have red UA Boxerjocks on today! That counts right?
P.S. maybe I will get lucky and shart in them.

If I haven't missed anything, this is Liverpool's 11th CL or UEFA Cup final. 5-2 in CL, 3-0 in UEFA -- not bad.
And since I became a fan they're 4-2 in big cup finals (1-1 in CL, 1-0 in UEFA, 2-1 in FA Cup) -- with all four wins being classics (4-4 vs Alaves, Owen's late double vs Arsenal, the the rally from 3-0 down vs Milan, and the Steven Gerrard game vs West Ham).

That includes the Cup Winners Cup (I think). But if a club like Chelsea can win it twice I figured it probably wasn't worth counting.

GL Eephus. I will be otherwise engaged, but I hope AFC get through.

League 2 playoff semi-finals. They're carrying a 1-0 advantage into today's away leg at Accrington Stanley. The winner gets Plymouth Argyle at Wembley with promotion to League 1 at stake.

Um, Sevilla is red too.
No joke: Sevilla watch party at Ocelot. Local group always watches there.

You guys should all be pulling for Liverpool...I don't think @Brady Marino can handle a loss today along with my Sharks kicking his Blues' teeth in.

Never been to Liverpool, but Sevilla is a pretty fun town with a lot of history and culture.

Even if it's accurate, it's a little unnerving hearing that Liverpool is the favorite. Goes against the grain, kinda.

Fisher Athletic went out of business three years after beating the Dons in the Isthmian League playoffs.
They reformed as a supporter-backed club called Fisher FC and now compete in the Southern Counties East league (level 9-10 of the English pyramid).

Why? I thought we determined yesterday that Klopp is the bestest manager in the universe ever.

Liverpool probably has more talent than Sevilla, plus Sevilla doesn't seem to be in good form lately.

So I'm mainly a Spurs fan.
For today do I 'concentrate on the league' in my cheering or go with my gut and cheer against 'Pool?
I can see points to both arguments. Mainly tho I just don't like 'Pool.

Studied there for a semester and lived four blocks from the Sanchez Pizjuan - had some good times in the cheap seats there. Springtime in Sevilla is fantastic.

Team: Mignolet, Clyne, Toure, Lovren, Moreno, Can, Milner, Lallana, Firmino, Coutinho, Sturridge.
Subs: Ward, Benteke, Henderson, Lucas, Allen, Origi, Skrtel
Hate that Toure has to play and that Lucas and Skrtel are the only options off the bench. Nice to see both Henderson and Origi well enough to make the bench though.

Fun fact on Basel for you. It has more museums per square inch than any other Swiss city.

Loving Basel… Managed to visit 2 museums yesterday, trying for 2-3 more today. I'll be pleased if I manage 4 total but ideally aiming for 5.

I just joked to Firmino that we sneak out from the ground to sample some local cheeses. It was so funny.

I'm just rooting for good Klopp reaction gifs. Happy Klopp, Angry Klopp, it's all good.
