What a great game to watch. Very even game, with both teams having great chances that went begging. Dortmund's GK had to make some De Gea-esque saves to keep it at 1-1. I might even say LFC looked the better side, overall, which is frankly surprising. As a LFC fan, I was preparing for the...

Oh, true, and that's particularly relevant in Leicester's case. I think I read that Leicester has made the fewest number of squad changes of any team in the BPL this year. They may be in trouble if they try to use the same squad every game next year. They will have to add depth and rotate the...

Leicester actually reminds me a lot of last year's Chelsea team. They started off the year winning games by outscoring teams and playing what the British pundits call "expansive football," but as they come down the stretch they are winning games by gutting out tough 1-nil results. We expected...

Everything Soccer Yeah USMNT is in serious trouble. Tuesday is now a must-win, or we miss the World Cup. That's just unthinkable. Klinsmann needs to add somebody to his staff who can give him good tactical advice. What he is doing is just not working.

I guess it makes sense. Bundesliga is not as deep a league as EPL. Still, with as hapless a team as Aston Villa next up for Spurs, I'd have liked to see them take a chance against Dortmund. Anyway, I didn't mean to criticize Spurs. My point was just that Dortmund is a class team in great...

Exactly, Spurs don't need this competition as much as Liverpool. But Dortmund didn't need it any more than Spurs did, and they still fielded a strong side. If I'm not mistaken, Dortmund was the exact same 5 points back of the league leader that Tottenham was. I certainly hope Dortmund see fit...

What a draw. I can't wait. Let's hope we at least put up a fight. That'll be better than Tottenham did.

This is looking like a good prediction. So pumped after that great win. Could easily have been even greater if not for De Gea. Don't know how he is always in the right place.

No, I'm with you. He is the worst color commentator in all of sports. I would rather watch the game in Spanish. Time for me to go incommunicado to avoid spoilers. Thank God for DVRs. YNWA.

Lol. Today we have to put up with your anti-English football bias. Great win for BVB.

Here's MUFC: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="de" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/mufc?src=hash">#mufc</a> XI: De Gea, Varela, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Schneiderlin, Fellaini, Memphis, Mata, Martial, Rashford. <a...

That's more like it. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="de" dir="ltr">BVB: Weidenfeller, Durm, Piszczek, Bender, Hummels, Schmelzer, Weigl, Castro, Mkhitaryan, Reus, Aubameyang <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/bvbtot?src=hash">#bvbtot</a> <a...

Hmm I'm a little disappointed in the squad for Spurs. Pochettino is a great rotator but I don't get why you rest some of your top guys against one of the best clubs in Europe ... for Aston Villa on Sunday? <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="de" dir="ltr">Lloris (C)...

Even though I am a Reds fan I am almost more pumped for Tottenham/Dortmund. Should be a great game to watch between two exciting, high-energy teams.

So pumped. It comes at a good time for LFC, which is riding a little momentum.

Me too. I am a huge Gylfi Sigurdsson fan. Oh yeah, I don't think that's too crazy at all. Sweden needed Zlatan's heroics in the playoff just to make the tournament, and the last couple times I've watched Italy I've been surprised by how feeble they are on the attack. There's just a lack of...

Then imagine if they used Alderweireld at RB. That would be an imposing back line ... It's amazing how stacked Belgium is for such a small country. I will definitely be rooting for them. Also I'll root for England, just as a EPL fan, although I don't think of England as a serious contender...

Oh good catch, yes, I would absolutely throw in De Bruyne. I just forgot about him because he has been hurt. City really misses him. Yeah, it's crazy how ineffective Hazard has been this year. Just a non-factor as often as not. You won't get Madrid interested by playing like that.

Yeah, I wouldn't hate that. West Ham is fun to watch because of Dmitri Payet. It's no great exaggeration to say he's been the best player in the EPL this year; only a couple other serious candidates, like Riyad Mahrez or Oezil, come immediately to mind. It's amazing sometimes to watch him...
