Twice. The bold choice to captain him away against ManCity is paying off.

I also got excited when I saw Geertruida had scored, but
that was alas at the wrong end of the pitch.

We should make a rule that if one of your players scores an own goal, you get a point subtracted.

1-1 at the half. To keep on topic, I will first ask why the Flickers Manager would pick Leroy Sane as cpt????

Good back and forth match between two team that will not win the UCL. Terrible handball pk given to AC, what is with the English refs!!!

The problem is the BVB coach knows nothing about football. Everyone in Germany knows the old saying, it goes back a hundred years!

It goes something like:
You will never win a match with Emre Can on the pitch.

SP the Pretenders are through.

I switched to PARNEW# after it was 1-3 in Miulan and it was amusing to hear the English commentators going on about who the hand ball pk call that gave PSG the draw was "shocking" and never given in the WWEpl" when it is exactly the kind of pk they give
in the WWEpl.

I posted some changes to the Armata (Dimarco to Darmian) and the Orphans (captaincy from Lautaro to Dybala) in the other thread. But you probably can't see either this post or the other one...
