GWT: CL Match Day 2

[Chimaera]

I’m sure Lukaku or Fellani will steal one late, but this has been pretty meh

 

[Savi]

Donetsk deservedly lead Lyon.
I forgot Lyon didn't have any fans for this game and it's showing. They're playing with zero passion. If they lose today, their win at City will mean nothing. Meanwhile a win would give them a fantastic upstart with a game against Basel as winnable to get 9 points after 3 games.

Basel aren't in the CL

I'm watching a bit of Bayern/Ajax and Utd/Valencia but both games are pretty meh so far. Ajax playing well, Bayern are disappointing. Valencia doing OK but Guedes needs to stop launching so many worthless long distance shots towards the United fans in the upper decks.

Great decision to loan Vlašić. Why are teams I like managed by morons?

 

[Juve]

To inflict pain.

Back in the day my parents always told me cheering for bad teams is character building...so i guess you got that, a lot of character....

 

[HoseEmDown]

Consider it a humanitarian gesture on their part.

But seriously this is why they should stop switching these broadcasts around. It always seems to take a new broadcaster a year or two to get it done right.

TNT has the British girl who also does the Fox sports broadcasts, not sure why they didn't just take the entire Fox sports group and set up? Maybe not Lalas but Barton wasn't bad.

 

[Evilo]

Basel aren't in the CL

Sorry, thought Hoffenheim and somehow wrote Basel.

Great goal by Shaktar. Game is pretty much over given the lack of passion shown by Lyon. 4 defensemen against 6 attackers on this goal. Ndombele was trotting back (and others didn't even fake running).
Complete travesty.

 

[I Eat Crow]

In Pogba's defense, that was a handball

 

[Juve]

Under makes it 3-0 for Roma. Roma are so far fantastic today.

 

[Savi]

Surprised Madrid are having so much trouble with a depleted CSKA team.

 

[hatterson]

For someone pissed at being left out of the teamsheet, Alexis sure isn't showing it by having a good game on his return.

 

[Gecklund]

Alexis hasn’t been bad. Definitely better than normal but that’s not saying much.

 

[Savi]

What a chance for Ajax.

 

[hatterson]

Alexis hasn’t been bad. Definitely better than normal but that’s not saying much.

He hasn't been bad, but he also hasn't been good. Very mediocre.

 

[Evilo]

Football is a crazy game. Shaktar had an easy third goal, but completely missed it.
Lyon then scored two goals in two minutes and the game is tied... Incredible.

 

[Juve]

Kluvivet makes it 4-0 for Roma off the rebound of Under's shot.
Under is going to be one heck of a player as he progresses on.

 

[robertmac43]

what just happened to Pogba? He was up and then boom down

 

[hatterson]

what just happened to Pogba? He was up and then boom down

Looked like his foot slipped a bit on the pitch and buckled his ankle.

 

[hatterson]

Kinda surprised there haven't been any subs yet.

 

[Jussi]

what just happened to Pogba? He was up and then boom down

I think in basketball terms that would be called an anklebreaking crossover.

 

[Evilo]

And now Depay missing the easiest goal

 

[HoseEmDown]

Guedes is so bad, if this guy was halfway decent Valencia would have 1 by now.

 

[robertmac43]

Sanchez got to do better there, looked like a slug he was so slow

 

[Savi]

Guedes is so bad, if this guy was halfway decent Valencia would have 1 by now.

He was amazing last year, he doesn't seem the half the player he was then right now

 

[hatterson]

Rashford has been good in open play, but his delivery on corners has been brutal.
