Like it matters. Every player in their team today would get a place in the first 11 of at least half the other top 6 / big 6 teams.

I was mainly interested for daily fantasy. Checked my lineups shortly before the match and all my guys are listed as out. You could basically spend whatever you wanted.

Arsenal with some shockingly bad passes after Spurs went down a man... unforced errors that look like direct kicks out of bounds in their own end. If I didn't know better I'd say I was looking at a team that was trying to throw the game. But that's just how they are.

Another apparent head injury for a Wolves player. This time Patricio seemed to be knocked out by the knee of his teammate. The play was offside. Perhaps an argument for blowing the whistle sooner instead of letting the play continue nearly so much.

edit: for context, Jimenez actually suffered a fractured skull in that horrific collision vs Arsenal a while back

I know they look kinda dumb but I wonder when soccer mandates that players wear some kind of head protection, something like Cech used to wear. Soccer has one of the highest concussion incident rates of any sport and has already banned heading for players under the age of 11.

I know it’d be devastating for the players since they couldn’t show off their fresh low-fades every game but at some point you have to imagine it’s a given that players will be required to wear some form of head protection. I think I recall that Virginia Tech did a study a few years back and found wearing protective headgear lead to a 70% reduction in concussions compared to not wearing something. Only a matter of time, in my opinion.

Rare Champion's League game on CBS Sports Network instead of Paramount Plus only. RMA vs ATA, closer than Man City match.
