I mean, it clearly hits his arm which is making his blocking wider so the penalty is good. What a week in Champions League.

OGS seems to be doing quiet well at MUFC.

Mini-remontada in Paris? This is getting ridiculous for Paris. B-team Man U(re?) was no Barça.

At least, Porto won , despite Dzeko pulling a Müller on Pepe, the latter saved the team with a miracle save and could have doomed it with a possible second yellow.
Much better Porto than the one who played and lost versus Ben Fica last WE.
Of course, this could end in quarters with a thrashing but some luck at the draw could guarantee some lower-budget team like Porto or Ajax into semi-finals.

Yes, I can see how that would be a bit embarrassing.

Do they have VAR in the premier league? I don't understand that cancelled offside ruling in the City game.

So Ronaldo is pretty good.

No shit Sherlock! 
Unless you meant for a 34-year old football player, which I hope so. 
Nobody complaining about the penalty?

That Lebron James guy? Not too bad at Basketball.

Unless he's playing for the Lakers.

The Lakers have become the MLS of the NBA. The place world-class players go when they're past-it and ready to retire.

That's becoming more China and the Middle East. Teams are slowly encouraged to move away from that and spend their money on younger South Americans. MLS also moves players to Europe.

4 English teams in CL quarter finals, what Brexit?!

[Admiral Yi]

One thing I've noticed a lot of in EPL clips is that defenders trailing a breakaway don't seem very interested in catching up.

Nah, other than LeBRon the only player they have that was ever anywhere near world-class is Rondo.  The rest of the roster is never-weres and never-will-bes.

Champions' League Quarter finals draw

F.C Barcelona - Manchester United (Barcelona)
Tottenham - Manchester City (Man City)
Liverpool - F.C Porto (same as last year I'm afraid hopefully less goals)
Ajax-Juventus (Juventus)

Well, party is over. No clash of titans since Manchester United is not so great right now, despite the remontada vs Paris.
