    Man, y'all took out my heart when you turned the tables on Barcelona. It would be a double dagger if Roma took out my favorite EPL team after a 5 goal deficit. I took my first day off in over a year today (crazy busy work year) just to relax and it fit in nicely with today's game. Frazier and...

    As long as Wenger is in charge, Arsenal will still be between 3-6 in the table. Every single one of my Arsenal fans want him out, yesterday. I love Auba but I personally don’t think he fits Wenger’s system at all. Much more of a Klopp player. And I don’t see Wenger adjusting his system to his...

    Dude CLEARLY gets fouled in the box, then gets a yellow card for diving, and then the ref gets no help from VAR. Pretty unreal. VAR shouldn't be rocket science. But MLS has butchered it so many times it's been impossible to count, and it was butchered in the Chelsea game as well. Just crazy...

    It's true...that move is pulled off seemingly all the time nowadays. Nick (nlroma) definitely has the game to pull it off. No lie, I'm 43 and I just pulled it off in an indoor game last week (ask Frazier lol). It's just so much easier to try that flick than to try and stop on a dime, caress the...

    I’m biased, but Pep has to get a ton of credit. You watch Sterling now, and he understands the game soooo much better than he ever did before. That could be maturity, but you listen to Pep’s former players talk about Pep, and you have to think he has played a huge role in Sterling’s stunning...

    To me it’s a good thing/bad thing. It’s fantastic for the MLS, and a testament to just how dominant Villa has been and how much quality he still has. New soccer fans that I talk to don’t realize how much of a baller he was from like 2005-2012 on the world stage. So it’s great for people to get...

    Dude, we are NOT friends this Saturday! hahahaha...this game should be epic. Pisses me off because I will be tailgating and then I'll be at the ND game so I can't watch the game until I get home and everyone is asleep. Last time they played I watched it with James Cachey and his Italian...

    Let’s say 'Pool keeps Coutinho and everyone is healthy. Who sits out of these players? Coutinho (no way) Mane (gtfoh) Firminjo (too key to the press, and while he’s no #9, Klopp loves him more than Sturridge) Salah (tough to sit…him and Mane create nightmares on the wings) Lallana (sooo...

    Tottenham can play with Borussia. I don't think it's a death sentence, personally, as long as their manager doesn't punt the Champions League like he did last year.

    HORRIBLE draw for Barca. There’s not a gimme in that group. Watched it with my co-worker, and told him I felt sorry for Celtic and didn’t want them to have to play us again, and then we get friggin’ Porto as our “easiest” game. Suddenly I was pining for Celtic again LOL. And then you guys get...

    Agreed. It's got to suck for them to see the draw every year. I'd like to root for Celtic for once :) (In all honesty, if you're ever going to draw Barca, this is the time.)

    My co-worker who sits in the next office over is a huge Liverpool fan (much bigger than me, as they are only my #EPL team). He watched the entire game while I was able to watch in pieces. I missed the first goal, and when he blamed Lovren I thought he was joking. Nope. And when he blamed him for...

    I'm jacked for the Liverpool game tomorrow. That last-minute goal they gave up might be a killer. Should be a fun game.

    LOL...why? Because they are going after a player they want? Welcome to the world of international futbol. Liverpool does the exact same thing to clubs smaller than them, like when they treat Southampton like their feeder club. I root for Liverpool in the EPL so I feel for them, and I...

    Barcelona is my number one club team, but for the Premier League, when Fernando Torres was basically the number one striker in the world playing for Liverpool a decade ago, the Reds became my “Prem” team. So the Couthino thing has had me torn. I have always thought he would be coming to Barca...

    Barcelona in my favorite soccer team by far, but Liverpool is my England-based team (only because of Fernando Torres back in the day being a beast and my favorite player bc of his Spanish roots). I say this bc I have a couple of Arsenal friends (yuge fans, great guys) and when Alexis was...

    Like most athletes, she's coming off a major knee injury and is struggling. That should be no surprise, regardless of how hard she worked to get back. It's got to be tough for the coaching staff...I mean, she's a legend and deserves every amount of praise heaped on her, but she's not ready yet...

    Yeah, he's not even on the radar really. I'm rooting for Sampaoli at Sevilla to take over. He plays an attractive, attacking style and also will bring some discipline to their style as well. And he wants the job badly too.

    Wood screwed up by getting a 3 game ban last week, meaning he won't have played for quite some time before this game. And he wasn't exactly in scintillating form to begin with - 2 goals on the season (albeit on an AWFUL squad). Nasri would be stupid to leave Sevilla IMHO. He’s playing in the...
