Still think Nagbe's was better than Hassli's. Hassli's had more luck involved.

Love seeing Napoli beat City! Cavani is sick.
Hopefully Bayern Munich plays hard in the next match.
Inter and Bayern advance, what else is new!
Get this Champions League over w/ all ready. I'm ready for next year's. It's always better w/ Juventus a player!

Drama in the MLS today. Ching said he will retire if selected in today's expansion draft. Montreal took him anyway, saying if he doesn't want to play there they can trade him.

Game of the Year yesterday (at least a tie w/ that Chelsea-Arsenal 3-5 game two weeks ago).
Juventus-Napoli 3-3.
Crazy stuff. Buffon finally has a bad game, but Juve fought back from 2 goal deficits twice to get the draw. Napoli can score on anyone, and they're the only team to beat Man City this season. So, really Juventus is the only undefeated team left in the big 4 leagues.

I'm trying to watch the NCAA final right now. Not great soccer.
WTF? Is that a timeout?

Landon to Everton on another loan. Not a lot of life in the legs late this year. Don't know how this will go compared to last time.

I'm so confused. If, as $epp Blatter says, there is no racism in soccer, what was Suarez suspended for?

Liverpool had the most unintentionally funny PR mistake I can recall on their website briefly (until someone had the good sense to take it down) in response to the Suarez decision. It was basically a one page manifesto that boiled down to 1) Luis Suarez couldn't have said the N word because he had some black friends when he played at Ajax and 2) Luis Suarez couldn't have said the N word because one of his great grandpas was black.
