Wow what a wife.   :thumbup:

If mine did that for me, I'd give her the best 15sec of her life and then likely ruin it by making her call me Diego Costa.

So my buddy tells me his wife surprised him with a trip for New Years....

They are going to see Chelsea v Stoke City on New Years Eve.

I'd be jealous but its just Stamford Bridge.  Ok its a trip to England to see an EPL game... I'm jealous.

It's been 15 years since I was last there, and it was kind of a ####hole back then. Still awesome.

Once again MLS is confusing to the casual viewer. But that makes sense.

It gets more confusing every year :)

Almost every roster rule they have in the ever expanding roster rule book is intended to do one of two things:

1) Prevent, at all costs, more than one MLS team bidding on the same player

2) Keeping the salary of the rank and file player as limited as possible

 
FIFA world cup for clubs... kinda interesting.

History was made in Wednesday's Club World Cup semifinal between Atletico Nacional and Kashima Antlers when a touchline video assistant referee (VAR) employed replay technology in an official FIFA match to award a penalty.

The decision came with half an hour gone and the match still goalless when Kashima's Daigo Nishi went to ground after tangling with Atletico defender Orlando Berrio.

Nishi had been standing in an offside position when a long free kick was played into the area but was deemed not to have been interfering with play.

Referee Viktor Kassai -- who did not see the incident -- ran to the touchline where he took approximately 30 seconds to watch a replay of what happened before pointing to the spot.

Shouma Doi converted to put the hosts 1-0 ahead. The Japanese side went on to win 3-0 to become the first Asian side ever to reach the final of the competition. They will face either Spanish giants Real Madrid or Mexico's Club America -- who play in the other semifinal on Thursday -- in Sunday's final.

"This is the first-ever live trial with Video Assistant Referees at a FIFA competition, so this is something that is new for everyone -- especially to see the referee run to the video replay area at the side of the field," said Massimo Busacca, FIFA's Head of Refereeing.

"In the incident tonight, the communication between the referee and the video assistant referee was clear, the technology worked well, and ultimately the final decision was taken by the referee, which will always be the case since the VARs are only there to support."

As of 2015, Ronaldo had 39 knockout round goals in 55 knockout round games for his career.  This includes his Man U days, and it's actually a little better than his combined Real/ Man U goals per game in the Champions League as a whole at that time (.71 goals/g vs. .69 goals/g). 

That article was written in November 2015, which appears to be at the "split" in the group stage.  He was at 67 goals in 66 European games with Madrid at that time. We know he's played 15 games and scored 13 goals since then.  He's only scored 2 in 6 games this season in the group stage.  Which means he scored 13 in 11 games through the rest of the CL in 2015.  Seven of those games were knockout round games. 

I could probably fiddle around a bit to find more numbers, but I'd wager that his group stage goals per game is not significantly different than his knockout round goals per game with Madrid.
