Poor Frenchie with the porn-stache. You are welcome to come to White Heart Lane since it may be dangerous for you back in Madrid.

Real out of subs now. And their last sub Vazquez was the one that got beat at the back post. Course he's also the size of a small child but that never hurt Lionel.

Pretty good game overall IMO.  And, Pepe aside, not much idiocy or thuggery either.

I was originally rooting for the rooftop snipers, but I'm pulling for Atletico despite myself at this point.

Atl for me as well. Just because they are underdogs. Or smaller or whatever.

I don't really care who wins but I'm enjoying the game.  Hard to believe CR7 is even on the pitch, he has done almost nothing. 

 
Torres has been good from the spot this year.

I don't think anyone can say that Atlético is not Real's equal. If anything, Real were more compact, playing 9 or 10 behind the ball for long stretches.

 
So it's 10:30pm on June 26th at MetLife Stadium and against all odds the US has fought Lionel Messi's Argentina to a 1-1 draw AET.

Which five US players do you pick to take penalties and hoist the Copa?

 
How was that tackle at the end of the first 90 by Sergio Ramos not a red card?  Annihilated the guy's legs from the side/back, nowhere near the ball, on a potential game-winning breakaway.

I agree, that should have been a red.  Ramos with all the luck today since he was offside on the goal.

I thought it was a near perfect professional foul - the exact situation and technique where a smart player takes a yellow. I thought Clattenberg had a very good day, particularly the immediate dissent yellow on Gabi after the Ramos foul and the way he dismissed Pepe's theatrics.

 
There are some rumors that Simeone may quit Atleti after this loss.  Only place he could go is Inter, but (in my opinion), if he wants CL glory that has to be a step backwards.  More likely to win a CL with Atlético in the next 5 years than Inter.

In other news, had there been a report about Carvajal's injury? It world make the Spanish selección less interesting.

Mentioned this rumor awhile back.  Inter has severe limitations on their market strategy, due to FFP, and there seems to be no plan in place going forward... Mancini already has stated he sees them doing doing no better than fourth next year, with the limited resources at his "disposal". Aside from prior allegiance, I don't understand why he commit to such a project...it's a sad state of affairs in Italy right now.

I want him with Argentina for a World Cup run. After that he can pick his job.

No way that happens with Messi still on the squad...the tension between the offensive & defensive players is already palpable, & you know whose side that Negro Laziale would take.

...I think...
