Would be impressive to see Celtic go into spartak and come away with the points

 

[milohimself]

What a goal by samaras. Celtic up 3-2 in the 91'

Two questions? How freaking good I Dortmund, and how bad is City?

Dortmund's performance today was one of the best I've seen in about a year.

Mourinho shut your face

Wasn't pretty, but a win is a win on the road in qualifying. Just need a tie Tuesday against Guatemala.

Eddie Johnson came up huge in his return. Don't they have to win to advance? damn is even.

edit: Just checked again. Everything is even, Goals scored, Goals Allowed. Pretty sure they'll have to win against Guatemala.

The top 2 teams from the group advance to the next stage. Since Jamaica is 3 points behind, a draw would see both the US and Guatemala through. I wouldn't be surprised if we see two sides playing for a draw on Tuesday night. Even with a loss, the US would still advance unless Jamaica beats A&B by 3+ goals.

Oh, right, no idea why I thought only the top progressed. I blame the vodka.

CONCACAF CL is set up that way, but has three team groups

I hate these early international breaks.

I hate these early international breaks.

Me too. Seems like we've had 5 weeks of football over 3 months.

Unbelievable by France to draw with Spain with the final touch

Hell of a second half for France.

 

[milohimself]

Gag. Kyle walker blew it then barça needed everyone of five goals to get three points from a segunda candidate

 

[milohimself]

Ugh.. Mascherano

 

[milohimself]

Celtic goalkeeper and defense are legit. The go ahead goal is still coming though.

Damn foster is good

 

[milohimself]

Jordi alba!!!!!!

 

[milohimself]

US international Michael parkhurst and nordsjælland got a point from juve

 

[bleedorange0037]

Jordi alba!!!!!!

Milo, what the hell are you doing cheering for Barça? I though you were better than that.

 

[milohimself]

I try and be good about it, if Messi has a subpar game, I'll admit it, if the refs are being partial to Barça, I'll admit it. I'm open to the idea that CR7 could prove to be a better footballer than Messi when all is said and done. But I have a high level of admiration for the club, the way its run and owned, and for Catalan culture and history. Always have.

 

[volball625]

Little Jordi Alba! What an amazing runs of finishes.

 

[milohimself]

Anybody else watching champions league?

Wanna laugh at man city and rm? I have

Milo, am I crazy or were you not looking for a team to support this past summer? Did I make that up?

I was. Settled on barça for reasons I've mentioned, and my brother has been a big spurs fan for years so I tagged along.
