OT: Soccer Wednesday!
Come on guy that always starts these threads, where are you at?? I don't think I can do near the job.
Barcelona is all but going home, tied 0-0 to Juventus, down 3-0 overall.
Monaco up 2-1 on Dortmund, 5-2 overall.
Couple of surprise semi-finalists, that's for sure.
I'd rather have "kick myself in the scrotum" Wednesdays, and I'm a soccer player myself.
Because there is so much else to talk about right now.
i could use s'more qb snowflakes threads (or diaries)
I pos'd you because you didn't post a poorly written and overdone hot taek as a new thread.
It's all good. It's just a pretty slow time in Michigan sports, we don't have any damn teams in the playoffs lol
knit one, purl two. sing it ladies!
whose drinking what, and careful with the needles.

Who do you think should start in goal? Speight or Peters?
Bill O'Reilly forced out of Fox News thread. That would have been fun too!
Speight vs Peters for the 90th time.
Not shit going on right now.
Feel bad for Dortmund as they got off to a bad start with the attack last week. Monoco is better then most think though so who knows who would have won without the extra drama. A lot of players at Monoco are making money right for transfers next year.
I like seeing Barca go down. I don't care who it's against.
Agreed, the bandwagon factor for that team is WAY too high.
Does Ronaldo's legacy catch up to Messi in terms of greatness at all at this point with Real Madrid moving forward with a Ronaldo hat-trick and Barcelona going out?
Catch-up? Ronaldo sees him in the rear-view mirror already.
Will only be further in the distance when Ronaldo is holding the trophy in Wales as the first ever back-to-back winner.
Hala Madrid!
Yeah I think for sure it helps Ronaldo in the rivalry. As for whether that's catching up or pulling ahead... I don't know. It's an amazing rivalry. I'd take Messi to start my team, but it's not a no-brainer by any means.
I love the ball movement of Monaco's midfield and front line, their speed generates so many good chances. And give credit to Juve, their rough style (and a pretty awful ref) controlled the undersized and aging Barca.
But I don't see either of these teams measuring up to the two Spanish teams going into the semis. Of those, Real is probably the best overall, but Atletico is my favorite, I just love their discipline and attacking style.
Forza Juve!
They are a delight to watch as a team. So much attacking talent in front and even deeper in the midfield. It's a shame they had to go through the bus attack and play immediately after but nothing changes that now. Really, I hope Atleti or Juve wins the whole thing. Antionne Griezmann is one of my favorite players in the world (forward for Atletico) and Juventus, despite their obsession with defense over everything, are an incredibly talented outift. Massimiliano Allegri has led them to great heights the last few years and a CL Final win could earn them the treble. Hala Atleti and Forza Juve in the semis!
Monaco's dream season (they are also in 1st place in Ligue 1) continues. They're one of the most fun teams to watch and probably won't keep the roster together after this year, so I'm pulling for them to win it all. Allez l'ASM !
What a remarkable stat! And the ageless Buffon just continues to have calm greatness.
I could see them beating Real Madrid (best team left thanks in part to awful refs) due to the difference in net.
