Y’all seen that Salzburg score? Jesse Marsch picking ‘em up and putting ‘em down. I know it’s Genk, but still, cool to see.

Always interesting watching games and how English commentators see things versus Continental and Latin American commentators.

Napoli’s kits this year are kinda nice...they have silver numbering like TCU the other night though not as shimmery/shiny.

Nice results today. Sorry to see Chelsea lose (sarcasm font) and wouldn't mind seeing Liverpool go out early. Doubtful Liverpool loses another in this group, but I can hope. Hoping Inter can get a result against Barca and make them sweat the rest of the way through the group. I'd love to see Dortmund and Inter advance out of that group with Liverpool getting knocked out too to make today's ESPN article nearly obsolete after group play.

My sentiments as well.

Real Madrid v PSG just got underway. Should be a good one.

Atalanta laying a big egg ugh. But go Zagreb if they somehow advance.

Bayern takes down the Red Star commies.

Gonna watch later, but I saw Spurs had a 2-0 lead and ended up drawing. How the darn did that happen. That's an enigmatic group right now. Too much talent to not figure it out soon, but frustrating to watch. I thought after Saturday the sluggish start was likely due to the uncertainty around Eriksen, but today I'm less certain.

Believe there were some penalties given by both sides but didn’t get to see any of it so don’t quote me.

I'll probably watch it tonight. I know the first goal was a Kane penalty. No clue after that, though.

Odd game. Spurs took a 2-0 lead against the run of play. Olympiakos were much better in the first 35ish minutes. They generated a ton of shots, but few on frame. Valbuena was terrific.

Spurs appeared to settle in late in the first half, but conceded on a counter in the last minute of the 1st half. Spurs owned the entire 2nd half, but a fairly weak penalty at the edge of the box against the run of play tied it.

Spurs had several great chances to take the lead, but either got thwarted by a great save or a lapse of quality on the finish.

Great match, but disappointing result.

Harry Kane with a great goal against Leicester City a few minutes ago.

Wow. VAR takes away a 2-0 Spurs lead and a few minutes later it’s even at 1-1.

 

[Chongo94]

The Spurs result was very pleasing.

Watford must feel like a red headed stepchild going through D-Day at the moment.

 

[Chongo94]

ManCity really just make games look like video games at times these days.

One of the few guys we have in the USMNT pool that I feel like actually give us a chance to compete against better teams.

WHU/MU has been fairly entertaining. Sunday morning EPL sure helps ease the pain of a Frog loss.

 

[Moose Stuff]

Fabulous free kick......2-0 WHU. Miserable day for MU.

 

[Moose Stuff]

Looking forward to Chelsea/Liverpool. Pulisic on the bench again.

Liverpool picking apart Chelsea right now. Liverpool back line perhaps looking like they could concede 1 or 2 but Chelsea not currently taking advantage of it (did lose a goal to VAR).
