Pretty sure Harry Kane is cursed.

Not only do his teams lose in big moments, they lose in the most frustrating, heartbreaking way possible.

Howard Webb levels of ref defending
I identified who made the primary mistake and said it was a “huge” mistake. I’m not defending the refs at all.

I don’t believe a ref/linesman can work the semis and the finals so I don’t think this linesman was going to get the final anyway, but if he was in line to get the Europa or Conference league finals it’s the type of mistake that should keep him out of those games.

My top 5 right now, in order: Mbappe, Bellingham, Rodri, Kane, Saka
Unless Arsenal win the title and Saka does very well at the Euros with England, I would probably put Wirtz before him. I would also have Wirtz ahead of Kane at the moment.

All gonna be moot when Messi wins it on the back of a Copa win and putting up video game numbers in Miami.

It was close to offside but the referee should have continued play so they can check it like they did with Joselu. Big mistake by the Polish Ref.

3 Real goals resulted from big individual mistakes from Kim and Neuer. Of course you can't move forward like this. What I didn't understand at all was why Tuchel substituted Kim in the very important late phase???This has led to more uncertainty in Bayern's defense.
Of course the ref was also terribly upset.

Weak. You can troll better than this.

Because Tuchel is a coward. Pep took advantage of his naivety and ever since he's become more & more cynical.

If Madrid wins the CL, it'll be down to if Brazil or England can win the Copa/EURO.

Only if one of those two conditions is NOT met, can Mbappe etc. win it.

I'm not saying that's the right way to go about, but it IS the way the votes will go about it.

Seriously? Has anyone even watched the 2004 CL?
They scored in every game except in one semifinal game.

I remember it. United had a goal wrongly disallowed for offside against Porto. Would have been 3-2 up on aggregate with an away goal before Tim Howard gave Porto a last minute goal. Not that I'm still bitter about it 20 years later :laugh:

Yeah I had Lyon penciled as favorite. But they had no answer to Porto.
