Great match yesterday between RM and Juve which got ugly right at the end. Yes it was a soft penalty but what else did they expect the referee to do?

Holy mother of, what a match. Liverpool absolutely destroyed Roma. Roma's second goal was IMO not a penalty, Milner could do nothing about it. Commentators talking like Roma's won the tie was hilarious. We are not fucking Barcelona, we aren't gonna sit back and defend a lead. I'm confident Liverpool can pull an away goal back in Rome given how in form our attack is.

Woah. What a match! Salah's first goal was amazing. At one point it seemed like Roma had lost all hope but credit to them for getting 2 away goals. It would be damn hard to come back from this for Roma. Their is talk of Roma's chances only because they beat Barca at home. I don't see it happening again.

If Liverpool win UCL (which is obviously a big IF), Salah will be a serious contender for this year's Ballon d'Or. Who would have thought in the presence of Messi and Ronaldo, there would be talk of another player winning this award?

Yeah overcoming a 3 goal advantage is hard as hell. They would need to come out and attack Liverpool and we in turn will attack them. I don't see us not scoring away at Roma. Its important not to get complacent, like Klopp said "It should not sound like a warning, but we are not Barcelona". I'm pretty sure we'll pull through.

Liverpool certainly has a big chance to win the UCL purely based on how good our attack is. Our defense and midfield have been quite stable as well so biased as I am, I think we a huge chance to win the darn thing. RM have experience and on their day they are unstoppable but this year they have quite vulnerable and we can exploit that. Salah already guided Egypt through WC quali, winning the UCL on top of that and hell even taking Egypt till RO16 would be quite the achievement. Plus he's only 1 goal away from breaking the all-time EPL record. He has a huge chance to do it. But I'm skeptical still.

I really want Bayern to comeback strong. really want exDortmund coach vs Bayern's jupp clash in the final. Bit optimistic about Roma that they can bring about another upset this time, who knows.

Bayern !!! :heart:

Big match tonight. I don't think Bayern would be able to overcome RM away from home especially without Robben.

Neuer must be furious right now. What a brilliant game by Bayern but you cannot make such mistakes at this level.

Roma vs Liverpool

I mean never unclench eh xD. We just stopped giving a shit in the second half which was fucking horrible. But we got through and all those people calling for red card and penalty decisions, do remember decisions went against our way as well. Mane will clipped in Roma's half and that penalty against Milner in the first leg was very harsh. The better team won and is in the final. Fairplay to Roma for giving us a fight but the tie was won when we scored 5 goals.

Atletico vs Arsenal

1-0 was the most Atletico scoreline ever lol. Arsenal were jaded, the squandered a brilliant opportunity in the first leg and they were just bad in the second. I'm really interested in seeing who Arsenal appoint next season because they've been in shambles past two seasons. They have the talent but they need the right manager as well.

Did you guys read the latest news about Karius's concussion? Apparently he had a head scan in USA and the doctors determined that he suffered a concussion when he got struck by Ramos before the first goal. I mean that would explain why he let in those goals. His spatial awareness was all kinds of screwed up. Karius had been solid for us all season until the final. As it stands, if we can't get Oblak (doubt he would come) we should give Karius another season because his last season was pretty solid and I think he can improve upon that greatly. This final although a low for him, could prove to be mental challenge and if he overcomes that I have no doubt he'd become a great keeper for us.

Lol the hell is happening in the WC. Russia blitzed Egypt away. Freaking Poland lost too. I know Senegal is a great team but damn did they choke Poland out effectively. I don't how long its been since we had such an exciting start to the world cup.
On topic of England, they played quite positively. Its a good start and the squad looks reasonably well gelled together. Shout out to Loftus-cheek for an amazing performance in such a short time. Referee was atrocious though.

Germany Lost !!
Quite a shocker. Kroos had an appalling game, he was constantly isolated and that didn't do the defense much good. Should have played Reus from the start. The game changed as soon as he came on.

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
