This feels worthy of bumping the official soccer thread
I do have a few words, however: the away goals rule is, IMO, one of the dumbest in sport behind only the NFL OT rule that a TD wins, even if the other team doesn't get its hands on the ball.
Sissoko that 2nd half was insane. Crazy that both he and Wijnaldum were on that relegated Newcastle team and end up bossing Champions League semis a couple years later.
Arsenal and Chelsea advance tomorrow, and it’s an all English Euro Cups Finals. Pretty wild.
Even wilder - you could have 4 English teams make the UCL and UEL finals and a 5th team not in that group sweep a domestic treble and none of those 5 teams is Manchester United.
But I can’t figure it out. Could’ve sworn I read on here that the top of the PL was actually crap this year and City/Pool just beat up on cupcakes
