Euro: Champions League Semifinals

[Live in the Now]

“My nerves the other night at Anfield were difficult to control,” confessed Liverpool’s 2005 Champions League-winning skipper.

“I had to leave before the end once it was 4-0. I had my seven-year-old daughter with me and I used that as an excuse to go, saying she had school the next day.

“But really it was more about my nerves—God knows what the players were going through. I don’t think I’d have been able to cope with seeing either Coutinho, Suarez or Messi break my heart.

Gerrard reveals why he left 'best Anfield atmosphere' early

He would have cried like everyone else is what I got from this. I made it until YNWA started. I don't know how any supporter could have made it through that.

Which puts the question - are those people witless, ultra partisan bores whose opinions aren't worthy of a second's attention?

Well, sure. But they can be hard to avoid!

Trippier shares details of Kane's "mental" half-time talk that inspired Ajax win

“Harry is exceptional for club and country,” Trippier told Sky Sports. “I don’t know the timescale with his injury but obviously we’re all hoping he can be back because of his presence, even here at half-time, he’s coming in going mental at us because we can do better which we all knew. But this is what we need, the leadership that he has, the way he came in at half-time. He wasn’t happy and we all knew that. He just gives us that extra lift because his presence is massive for us.”

In reality he asked where the restrooms are, but no-one understood him. They thought he spoke in tongues. Mental indeed.

I was actually going to come back and say that.

It's amazing that Son speaks better english than 'arry

 

[Havre]

Amazing that he has a speech impediment?

That Son speak english better than many 'arry's. Rednapp, too.

Clearly not true - if you are not talking about pronunciation. Which would bring me back to my previous post.

Pocchetino : "Lloris is the best goalie in the world".
@Duchene2MacKinnon : "Lloris can't touch the top 5 goalies.
@Duchene2MacKinnon : "Poch is awesome and is always right".

@Duchene2MacKinnon head explodes.

Ah, but did he reach inside the soul of Lucas and direct him downfield to score the goals like an expensively-imported glove puppet?

That's what the very greatest do to win games when they're not on the playing field, apparently.

What a breath of fresh air to have a European club champion that is not Barca, Real or some other 'superclub'.

Semifinals results means that a former Celt will win the champions league this year with Wanyama on spurs and VVD in liverpool. Will be the first celt since Larsson to win ole big ears I believe.

Alpha Hendo really is back.

Dude thinks Tom Brady uses witchcraft to win and that the NFL is rigged. I'd pay him no mind.

I mean, it is a well known fact that ZZ used black magic to win

Nice to know Lloris did the same at halftime of the CL semi than in the WC : a nice pep talk.
It's weird because in the WC he almost never talked in any of the games. Pogba did most of it. Umtiti a little too.
But in the WC final, he had a strong talk, unhappy with his team's play at halftime. You could see the fact he rarely talked had such an impact on his teammates.

That was so awesome. Moura’s face was the best part.

 

[Havre]

When sober Lloris is a clever man.

me after a historically good season not being enough to win the title, but you're still going to madrid.

This may be my favorite fan shot video ever. No voices, just the natural sound of the stadium. Watching the Ajax players crumble to the ground as the Spurs bench rushes the pitch. Dier with a goofy jump and Poch in tears. Good times.
