English refereeing at its finest, whoever in charge of VAR today has no fucking idea. From what I understand the laws were correctly applied, can’t say I particularly like the laws. Especially offside in its current form when combined with VAR, it factors out things like momentum and direction and the gaining of an illegal advantage for the sake of an all-judgmental line.

Di Matteo’s side scraped through to that triumph, he didn’t really stamp anything authoritative in style or sustained improvement.
Tuchel has transformed them quite quickly to being an elite level side, and crucially you can see what he’s trying to implement by what’s happening on the pitch. Plus a significant bonus he’s started getting a tune out of some very expensively acquired assets.
Stranger things have happened but I think it would be a mental decision if they did turf him out.

Well losing champions league during times of covid hurts even more than usual. Its a lot of money. And lampard did get top4, so Tuchel missing out would be regressing

Bringing exiled players back into the fold and performing well helps too if you do want to sell players.
As I said, stranger things have happened though!

Tuchel strikes me as a cold calculating long-term strategist - and I mean that in a good way.
Chelsea has a tough run of games, so he has to prioritise on the ones that matter. Things are complicated by the coincidence of meeting key rivals twice during this period (Leicester and MC). It's unrealistic to win all of the games, so maybe he's testing different lineups and tactics in the first games?
Winning CL Final is instant glory and ticket to CL next year - so the second match against MC carries more weight
Likewise, it's arguable that finishing Top 4 and getting into CL is more important than winning FA Cup.
Still, it's concerning that Chelsea defeated City but lost to Arsenal in the league. Makes more sense for Tuchel to have focused on crushing Arsenal and hiding his cards from City (play for a draw). Another blip was losing 5-2 to West Brom. In short, the highs and (unexpected) lows in Tuchel's record reveals some crack in his armour - that his long-term strategy isn't going as well as planned.

imagine denying a goal for someone stood still with keeper not even in his line and ball go another way.
For then to allow a corner after 4 minutes added on to take place then Liverpool score from it to keep themselves in top 4 race haha, gotta love the shit shows from English VAR.

Alisson, first GK ever to score a competitive goal for Liverpool. This is a way to set a record
|
Fuck, both Barça and Atleti bottled the league.
Edit: lol. Atletico comeback from 0-1 to 2-1 in less than 10 minutes.

Barca bottled it though so a shoot out of Atletico and Real ensue.

This Bundesliga season truly showed how important managers are (becoming)

As a West Brom fan that was an unpleasant game to watch yesterday. It seemed that on the rare times Albion managed to get the ball they were quickly fouled. Liverpool had 76% possession but committed twice as many fouls as Albion (14-7). Fabinho is a master of tripping up opponents and was at it again yesterday, but was never booked for it.

Already bunch of bad news for Germany: Ter Stegen has a knee OP and will not participate. Kroos has Covid and is quarantined for 14 days. Hope both get well soon.
Tomorrow the official extended team for Euros will be announced for Germany
