The Soccer Thread (Version 9)

It's incredibly bizarre to me that Liverpool has won that many competitions yet never won the Premier League.

 

Sorry, two important trophies.

 

Ah, so you won't just admit you were wrong. Not surprising.

 

Part bad luck, part bad ownership, part inability to build a defense behind what's usually been a cracking offense.

 

Part coughing up a 3-0 lead to Crystal Freaking Palace in 2014 in what should've been a coronation match too.

 

Nope. City already had it in hand. Liverpool were trying to maybe catch them on GD, but that draw ultimately didn't matter.

 

The Demba Ba goal was the killer.

 

Quote unquote, "Okay."

 

USA beating France in the U-20 round of 16 with 5 to go. Impressive comeback after being down 2-1 and basically being played off of the field.

Edit: And they win!

 

Bookmarked!

I was watching on You Tube the US-China penalty shootout in 1999. I know people mention it all of the time, but holy shit was Scurry so far off of her line on every kick.
