By the skin of their chinny chin chin....but well done.  I shall cheer for them in the final.

So this happened:

I must say I have never seen that ruled, ever, closest is goalie being off the line (where it was saved), but a player inside the box?

Oh, and when you do rule on it know the fucking rule. It has been reverted by UEFA and the game is to be replayed with whatever few seconds was left from when the penalty was awarded.

[Josquius]

I'm confused. So it was dissallowed because another player was in the box?

Yes, the correct call would be to retake the kick. But the ref also gave the ball to Norway, which is a bit too much.

There's really only teams left that I'd like to see lose. Except maybe Barca, I would just be indifferent if they won.

Telegraph liveblogs the Klopp press conference. Doesn't foresee that it'll most likely mainly be in German:

Bayern down 3-1 after first leg

Didn't see that coming.

Lots of missing players for Bayern with a naive defence at times, Jackson unexpected return to form, good show by Porto,and no referee to protect Bayern from Porto, unlike Benfica in the Portuguese league.

Holy Christ, Luís Suárez.

[celedhring]

People are slagging Luiz a bit unfairly.



He barely leaves a gap here. Suárez is just sooooo good.

[Liep]

Yeah, he's good, but twice in one game and it's inevitable that you're called out for it.

Luis Suarez is amazing and my favorite footballer.
