Bayern cookin' Mainz. Hat-trick for James, won't matter for Zizou. Lol. My guy Kingsley bagged a nice goal too.

Going to draw level with Dortmund in the Bundesliga table. Now significantly ahead on GD.

Bavarian youth movement in full effect as they phase out Robben, Ribery, Muller. Davies (18 ), "Coco" (24), Coman (22), Goretzka (24), Renato (21), Gnabry (23).

Give it a couple more years and a legit manager and we'll be looking good. Don't forget Pavard (22), Kimmich (24), Sule (23). Then the potential of CHO (18 ), Lucas Hernandez (23), De Ligt (19), and Havertz (19). The rebuild is upon us.

I don't think even he believes the Kovac line but good to hear he's comfortable in Munich and wants to stay

Villarreal pulling themselves out of the relegation zone, hopefully they keep it up, 4 points clear now.

The classic Milan derby is end to end rn. Those inter mashup shirts look good on the pitch

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Love these videos, Italy was spending crazy in the 90s, RM & Barca were pretty consistent with the splurging, towards the end you see the oil money

Alphonso Davies>Messi

I can't use my Ronaldo>Messi troll any more due to Ronnie out here raping people, so gotta find a replacement troll.

 

[Canadian Destroyer]

Sick goal by Messi. That one is going down in the career highlights reel.

 

[Bosa]

Very nice gol from messi. Perfectly put..

That might have been the toughest half of Timbers soccer I've seen yet this season. They had a bad 15 minutes against LAFC, a bad defensive showing against Minnesota but solid offense, but this... this was... bad. Like BAD. No offensive cohesion or creativity, no communication in defense, being bullied all over the field, poor decisions by Attinella, and a dumb yellow card by Mabiala to top it off. Struggles.

 

[Armada]

I just watched Messi’s hat trick goal. Jesus Christ man how does he do it

This half has been worse. Ugh. GG Cincy

 

[jape]

my goodness.
his 1st goal was absolutely world class but the 3rd will be on his ultimate highlight reel when it's all said and done

Spoiler

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Who

 

[jape]

"I don't ever remember a night like this [being applauded by rival supporters]," he told Movistar after taking his goal tally for the season in all competitions to 39.

"I'm really grateful for the way the fans responded. I honestly don't remember an ovation like that [from rival fans]."

 

[ROYGBiV]

So Messi to Real Betis this summer for 100 mil?

 

[josh4523]

That is the nastiest chip I've seen, the distance and how calm he was trying something like that as if he was in training

 

[AZwildcats]

I’ve watched that chip at least a dozen times, one of the filthiest goals I’ve ever seen

Milan derby was lit, bros. Within the first five minutes, Perisic with a great ball that "El Toro" headed down to Vecino for the Inter opener. My dude Paqueta had a left-footed rip that forced a save outta Handanovic. Tons of pace and movement on the shot. Gigi could have done better on Inter's second goal, de Vrij header. Calhanoglu whips in FK that Bakayoko connects with on a power header. His first Milan goal, tapped the crest. Man's wants to stay in Italy for sure. Samu clipped Politano on the edge of the box for Inter's pen. Lautaro with the cool finish, went for pure pace to beat Donnarumma. Icardi who? I knowingly mix in kit talk quite often in here, but I'm coppin' "El Toro" in the Inter third. That kit is flames. Milan brought one back with a scrappy, messy goal in front of Handanovic's net. Castillejo had a headed chance to equalize and atone for conceding Lautaro's penalty. To no avail.

[jking0821]

was Simeone charged after the first leg?

 

[Coupé It]

was Simeone charged after the first leg?

Yea, he was fined like 30k.

Irony is, if Simeone had been suspended, Atletico would have been better off.

He has no idea (well he does now) just how much his actions were used as fuel and motivation for the whole Juventus side.

 

[macbk]

CR7 probably doesn't even care

 

[Coupé It]

CR7 probably doesn't even care

Yo you been to a NYCFC game at Yankee Stadium before?

 

[yankeesking92]

CR's celebration is something it seems like he's used to forcing others to do to him.
