GWT: Champions League - MW3

[LOGiK]

I'm starting to like Galatasaray... their magical playoff run was exciting... and now even their group matches. (it's 1-1 now so I don't know if they win or lose, but they are a fun watch. they score goals).

Couple bounces go better for them and they're top of the group right now.

I'm hoping for a miracle but Newcastle probably ends any hopes of Dortmund going through the group stage tonight.

I'm curious as to how much money Tonali has bet on this match

Didn't look like offside to me, nice shot by Ferran.

Fermin then scores Baca's 2nd.

Feyenoord had their first effort disallowed for offside, but now Gimenez's goal gives them the lead.

 

[Savant]

"Muscle issue". Arsenal covering for him not being allowed in Spain.

Wish someone would have the cojones to call out Arteta for this. Arsenal are so gross. This is rotten from that club top to bottom

Pretty strong lineup from BVB given Brandt's unavailable. I might've opted for Adeyemi or Moukoki instead of Reus, but picking the vet is understandable given Karim's & Mouki are still getting into form after a banged up summer.

 

[Power Man]

Zerrouki being average with the NT but good with Feyenoord of course

 

[Savant]

I think Feyenoord is good?

Depth at fullbacks has already been an issue, and now they're really vulnerable with Ryerson out. Bensebaini better keep his head cool...

 

[cgf]

Füllkrug should've done better there. BVB being very wasteful so far.

 

[Power Man]

Double save!

 

[JoVel]

Pretty intense start to this one.

Thiaw has problems either with agility or acceleration, he's a good defender and fast once he catches a head of steam, but he just got a yellow card for the same play he had gotten a red against Juventus. At this point he should just let the attackers fly by him and try and catch up. Krunic also got a (easy) yellow card, bad news for a Milan that's surprisingly good so far.

What are you implying? :-(

 

[cgf]

Isak having to go out after 14 min in a Dortmund match...yeah, that checks out.

Malen's doing Malen things, but Reus has been bad.

 

[Savant]

What are you implying? :-(

They are in an easy group, but they have talent and a strong manager. Maybe they can be this years Benfica/Villarreal/etc.?

 

[cgf]

No card for simulation?

I guess Almiron did kick his foot out enough to touch Schlotterbeck as he was falling, but I still feel like BuLi refs would've given a card there :-/

 

[hatterson]

No card for simulation?

I'm guessing the ref didn't give a card for simulation because there was contact. The contact was just initiated by Almiron leaving his leg dangling out to try to engineer a pen.

I'd definitely like to see those given cards. Basically any time a player goes down that dramatically, it should either be a pen or a yellow.

 

[Power Man]

Almiron is killing Bensebaini lol

ah ok

Yeah, I missed the "contact" before seeing a replay. Still feel like a card could easily have been handed out there and in the BuLi I would've been expecting one.

ah ok

Bense needs to get his head out of his ass lol

I think Bens is a bit too hyped right now tbh

 

[cgf]

I wonder if it'll ever not be weird to me that Joelington ended up a success for Newcastle? That was such a dumb buy at the time.

Bruno G's really good though, and it's nice to see Schär still kicking.

I think Bens is a bit too hyped right now tbh

Whatever it is, he needs to get his head into the match. He's almost been as sloppy as Can's passing so far...

 

[hatterson]

Looks like Can hurt his knee pretty bad.

Milan started slightly better but Mbappe is a cheat code. Great play by Zaire Emery who is already outmuscling his opponents in midfield (at 17!) to get an assist on the Mbappe goal. 1-0 PSG
