LOL, Newcastle.

I missed that game but I knew Tyr was smiling somewhere, wherever he is.

Looks like Real will need about 9 100% chances to get the 3 goals they need.

Wearing the shirts of semi-obscure (i.e. you know the name but never see much of them) teams seems quite a usual hipster thing.

I bought a Bahia jersey in Brazil, and I wore it going out to Home Depot over the weekend.  Does that make me a hipster? :unsure:

That depends, is it the home or away strip?

Home.  What difference does that make.

Home colours are for fans, away strip is more obscure and therefor more suitable hipster fashion.

Plus it usually has more eclectic colors which are often eyecatchingly abrasive and thus perfect for hipsters.

Though, hipsterdom can reach a certain level where identifiably obscure home strips are used by hipsters to take it to a further level. You will find old and defunct club (and nation) shirts used in the home version for this purpose. A Hipster might also pick a suitably obscure club to emphasize his non-mainstream ness. In this case you identify the hipster on the wear and tear of the shirt and (especially in the UK) if the person is wearing a hat or scarf and what colour it is and how out of place the strip feels in the ensable (the true fan will not care if it looks cool).

Lewandowski is missing everything tonight, did he sign a contract with Real? :P

So I know Ramos already has the record for most red cards in Real Madrid history, but it's still surprising that it's only 12.

Are you suggesting he is missing on purpose or that now he got the big money deal he doesn't care?

Neither, really. At any rate it adds to the excitement. Real has a chance now.

Away colours are also normally cheaper, so they're the choice of the cash-strapped fan.

Mourinho looked almost human in that post game interview. "I want to be where people love me."
