2020-2021 European Football Thread

Thought he really looked good for the US over the break.

 

Erling Haaland..... SMFH.

 

He’s so so good.

 

Moukoko on for Dortmund. Youngest player in Bundesliga history by a LONG way.

 

get accustomed to repeating that last sentence regularly.

 

We looked BAD yesterday. Neuer was the only reason that match didn’t end 1-4. Just GOAT stuff.

 

He stoned Sargent twice. The first one was a great reflexive save right at him, but the 2nd one was pounded near post from in tight. Amazingly strong wrists to repel that one.

 

I'm just now seeing the Orlando/NYCFC shootout madness from yesterday. Pure insanity.

My favorite part....

 

Portland and FCD are in the 8th round of penalties now.

Edit: FCD's Maurer just made the only save of PKs to win.

ETA 2: Ricardo Pepi, a 17 year old home grown player from El Paso scored to level in the 93rd minute. Really fun last hour to watch.

 

Dammit. I turned it off. There were some really good games this weekend. KC/San Jose was outstanding.

 

Worth checking out on ESPN+ to watch the rest. FCD really dominated after the subs came in.

 

Interesting read. The current player pool is Klinsmann's wet dream. To his credit, Berhalter says all the right things. I just require a LOT of convincing that he isn't in way too far over his head. Reggie Cannon's comments are encouraging, though.

Probably going to watch the Dortmund match tonight when I get home. Not sure how I got it and you didn't, but the free CBS All Access subscription I got with the 247 membership has now become useful. Previously it was a waste of an app icon space on the Roku/FireStick.
