[Football] Champions League Final

[swindonseagull]

Grealish gets the ball on the left, plays it back to Philips, and wanders up field out of shot where we can't see him.
The ball goes over to the far side (right flank), and might be hit long diagonally back to Grealish. Is he onside? Is he being marked? Who knows? Who cares?

Would that be Philips disguised as Ake?

The best part of City so far is their defence, even though they've made mistakes and are lucky that Inter are not all that going forward. Still, not that impressive so far from the PL champions. Inter have miraculously managed to scrape 3rd place in the Serie A after the teams below them have basically self-sabotaged, they're not world beaters. Come on light blue machines, don't shit yourselves.

Inter got 3rd because they don't cheat anything like as regularly as your shameful bunch of cheating tossers.

 

[Carbonara]

City have lost the momentum they had up till the Real games.

I'm watching LeMans 24hr

a vastly superior contest.

Teams cheat more than Inter

It's like watching Villa on steroids.

 

[trueblue]

Good comedy potential in this Final the longer it stays level. Come on Inter.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Grealish has got to do a lot more. His contribution is more about winning free kicks and I'm not even certain he can go past a man without falling over.

Would that be Philips disguised as Ake?

Yes.
I wish he wouldn't do that.

Well done on spotting the deliberate mistake. Just checking that you were paying attention

Juventus do. They like to fix matches.

As utterly dull as this match is, if it was City v Juventus, City would probably be four up by now as the Juventus board and players would have taken bungs.

Juventus = corrupt twats. As bad as Real Madrid and their govt level cheating imo.

 

[Solid at the back]

City gonna bottle this.

 

[Machiavelli]

Quite brilliant display from Inter so far. I wasn't expecting it. The ref has been brilliant too.
The fact that Dias has been the best player on the pitch says as much about how City are playing.
The longer it remains goalless, the better it is for Inter. I still think Abu Dhabi will win it tough.

I think Manchester City will win this comfortably or nick a goal, either that or Inter will sneak it - or win easily. It might go to penalties in which case it’s a lottery and I could see either side winning it.

This second half could be decisive, or it might not be

Fair point, Juventus do take things to another level.

 

[maltaseagull]

Something needs to be done about the constant diving and feigning injury.
I think there must be training drills on falling over and "winning" free kicks.

De Bruyne off injured, Foden on.

De Bruyne off injured, Foden on.

Are you on delay today?

 

[Pevenseagull]

At the time of writing Ipswich Town have still won more European trophies in my lifetime.

I've switched over to watch the football. It won't be long before I go back to the racing, which has been excellent.

 

[tigertim68]

Typical high class defensive Italian performance

 

[Paskman]

It's going to penalties
