Soccer 2019/20

Go Ajax!  That would be a fun final.

Ajax is up one away goal, correct? That's tough for the Spurs. I like both these teams though.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

Yep.  No matter what, no La Liga or Serie A teams in the final.  When did that last happen??  And it's in Madrid of course

I think maybe when Chelsea beat Bayern? And didn't Bayern and Dortmund have a final? I am getting my years confused?

There's a Spurs yard banner up the street.    Kid's (young teacher) from NY.    We talked about Buffalo but that was before the banner.    Gotta find out about that connection.

You're right.  I had to listen to that Bayern/Dortmund one on the radio in Spanish, which I understood a tiny bit of but still enjoyed enormously.

Kane is from Buffalo.  Well, a Kane anyways.

So two shockers in a row. What a bunch of comebacks.

Ah ha.    That's probably it.    Thanks Ali.

Two crazy games.  Right up there with Belgium/Japan in the last WC.

Sorry I missed that one.

Tough one for me coming up. John Henry owns Liverpool but Tottenham fans are the Yiddos.

Must have been a bunch of Israeli flags at Ajax- Tottenham today.

Spurs snuck in a Merkava MkIV in #27

Man City had a scare, but it looks like they will hold on to win the Premiership by one point.

Arsenal are crapting the bed in the UEFA Cup final (down 2-0 to Chelski at 62 minutes).  In Azerbaijan to add insult to injury.  It's on TNT for anyone who feels like wasting a perfectly good half hour.

3-0

I’m always happy to spend an hour watching Arsenal get shellacked...

There have been many opportunities to do so this year.

This champions league final is sooooo boring.

[bluestreak]

Also, why is Steve Nash doing soccer commentary?

First game of the Women's World Cup (France/Korea) is pretty damned good.  Better passing than the USMNT in the last WCQs.

That's a mighty low bar.

[1995hoo]

The French are stomping the Koreans. Clearly the better team.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

China v. Germany.  I'm guessing the Chinese have the goal line cameras rigged, and the Germans are looking to the Japanese and Italians for help.
