The Soccer Thread (Version 9)

Seriously one of the most exhilarating sports events I've ever watched. 'Orns to the final!

 

I gave up at 2-0 to practice baseball with my son.

 

I don't blame you. And I didn't even hate the second goal celebration, with the mask and what not. Sports are supposed to be fun, right? Apparently Deulofeu got a burr up his ass for being benched and scored a ridiculous goal to make it interesting, and it was off after that ...

 

Enough to get an 8-game ban.

Atlético Madrid’s Diego Costa handed eight-match ban for insulting referee

 

Barcelona and Ajax (!) through to the Champions League semifinals. I know who I would want to draw.

 

They drew the semis before this round. Liverpool-Porto winner gets Barca.

 

Ah, that's right. Totally forgot. I guess at least one EPL team is making the final.

 

Got down on Ajax +325 when the draw was announced. Makes up for United shitting the bed.

 

That Ole Gunnar honeymoon was sure fucking brief.

 

I'd say that was awesome, but I need United to take points off City.

 

Spurs and City 2-2 early on.

 

Spurs advance 4-4 aggregate, as a Sterling winner in extra time is ruled no goal by VAR for offside. As a Spurs fan, I'm very happy, but VAR except for the goal like is bullshit IMO.
