at halftime of a nice stuttgart - rb leipzig, 0-0 so far but contested and entertaining. leipzig is 6th stuttgart 10th currently.

kinda sad to see ex-bayern badstuber and gomez as stuttgart players, but eh, at least they’re working, and stuttgart isn’t fighting relegation this year so far. badstuber as angry as ever ha ha ha ha. this mercedes benz arena seems like a sweet stadium too, at least in the wide shots.

He's also being talked up as potential replacement for Wenger.

oh ha ha poor arsenio

anyway if you want a nice game dortmund v. frankfurt starting soon. theyre 4th & 5th respectively

—

fn first half! dortmund attacked relentlessly from the start, scored at 13’ from a pulisic cross to schurrle (though it was an own goal by a frankfurt defender), and then it calmed a little but not really.

!@#$%! · 03.11.2018, 01:54 PM

holy shit dortmun frankfurt ends 3-2, a goal for each team on injury time.

batsuahyi finally wakes up

dortmund leaps ahead on the table

so, anyone watching man u/sevilla today?

!@#$%! · 03.13.2018, 04:23 PM

i got bored with the ongoing 0-0 and tuned out, just checked results and sevilla ahead! ima catch up now...

--

guess caught the right part of th game after all

looking at the game timeline man u had such few shots on or off target the whole game whereas sevilla had many more.

and saw the replays—nice goals

so looks like a well-deserved result.

demonrail666 · 03.14.2018, 02:47 PM

Missed it yesterday but settled in now to watch chelsea barcelona

!@#$%! · 03.14.2018, 02:48 PM

im on the road and can’t see it. baaaaaaaah!

demonrail666 · 03.14.2018, 03:02 PM

Barca 1 up after 3 mins. Messi

aaaaaand now 2-0. Dembele but Messi's pass to him was just genius.

aaaaaaaaand 3-0. Messi.

So Barca 4-1 Chelsea, agg.

Messi and Suarez seem completely in tune with each other. Suarez finds space for him so intelligently. Chelsea weren't that bad, but Barca just pounced on every mistake. I would absolutely LOVE the final to be between Barca and Man City.

!@#$%! · 03.17.2018, 08:08 AM

oh man ha ha ha and stupid neymar didn’t want to be there because of his massive ego

ha ha ha ha ha the fuckin dipshit

dont know about man city barca final— pep would bow before his masters as he did before.

hmmm im still sore about it i guess lol

what else. oh yeah bayern v. rb leipzing tomorrow. leipzig isn’t doing that great this year though but they’re always deadly. today a bunch of competitive mid-table games don’t know which one to pick yet.

!@#$%! · 03.17.2018, 10:22 AM

superfun 1-1 gladbach-hoffenheim first half including an early hoffenheim goal, gladbach coming back to tie, and a handball video controversy, all in the context of a very animated mid-table contest.

—

they ended up 3-3 and it was a great game!!!

but the wolfsburg-schalke followup was dullsville and i spaced it out eventually

h8kurdt · 03.17.2018, 02:39 PM

How has no one mentioned the champions league draw? Annoying that Liverpool/City have drawn together. It is, however, looking like it's gonna be the usual suspects in the semis which is so fucking annoying.

Gotta hand it to the Europa league. At least you never know who's gonna be in the semis or the finals

!@#$%! · 03.17.2018, 03:24 PM

oh i didn’t know/didn’t watch

let me be lazy here and ask—what happened?

h8kurdt · 03.17.2018, 03:55 PM

Barcelona v Roma (first leg, 4 April, second leg 10 April)
Sevilla v Bayern Munich (first leg 3 April, second leg 11 April)
Juventus v Real Madrid (first leg 3 April, second leg 11 April)
Liverpool v Manchester City

!@#$%! · 03.17.2018, 04:19 PM

is it just me thinking this or has bayern been getting sort of a free pass all along here?

i mean sevilla is a nice team but... it’s not real madrid or juve (that there is a final-caliber match). and before that, they played besitos? lol

i would have liked to see bayern vs kloppo for some reason (an easy match too but it would have historical echoes)

so what’s different from europa? i dont know

I wouldn't call Liverpool an easy draw at the moment. Their defence isn't great but their front 3 is a goal machine. Watch out for Mo Salah.

True, but besides the supporters of the teams involved, does anyone really care about the Europa league?

ok! i’ll make a note of it. kloppo always ran a goal machine! and what fun it was to watch.

honestly, i think it’s starting to catch on. at least the finals? or the final stages?

wasn’t liverpool in this league last year? didn’t it make news? and now they’re in the champions. so is sevilla, who won i think 3 times recently (sorry not sure of exact number). but they made a name for themselves there.

not sure if speaking for myself alone, and not gonna lie and say i’ve been paying attention, but i think the europa is starting to accumulate a bit of prestige. not huge prestige. but a bit. and some lore as well. it’s not a disreputable competition. and it has some attractions.

demonrail666 · 03.18.2018, 06:01 AM

The Europa has a reputation in England at least for being too long and unnecessarily demanding on the teams involved. But winning it does give direct entry to the CL next year so there is an incentive beyond just winning that trophy. If only they didn't have to play a million games to do it while simulataneously trying to cope with the demands of the Prem.

If you're limited in what you can watch, though, I can understand its appeal. There just needs to be a way to streamline the process a bit.
