    This sounds like the next Ocean's Movie: From the BBC Deadline day ticker:

     

     

    FRAUD?

    Spanish football writer Andy West: "Some bizarre reports coming out regarding United's collapsed Herrera deal. Apparently a group of men claiming to be United representatives spent an hour at the La Liga offices in Madrid today, but it turns out they had nothing to do with the club and were presumably just attempting to get a cut of the deal in an elaborate fraud.

    "Must be stressed these are just rumours but the Spanish media have published pictures of men in black suits - supposedly the United "representatives" - coming out of the league offices carrying briefcases.

    "All very strange and no doubt the truth will come out in the next few days.

    This actually happened a week ago, but I'm just catching up to it via DVR.

    Real bizarre game between Monaco and Toulouse FC in France's Ligue 1. Monaco had received a crowd ban due to the celebration (pitch invasion and flares) that happened when Monaco won promotion from Ligue 2 at the end of last season.

    So this game is being played in an empty stadium, and yet was broadcast to France (and the US through BeIN Sport). Feels so much different then what I'm used to, and it's kinda interesting all the chatter that you can hear because there's no one in the stands.

    Crazy finish to the Oregon State-Eastern Washington game, with EWU scoring with 19 seconds to go to take a 49-46 lead, and Oregon State moving the ball all the way to the EWU 35 for an attempt at a gametying FG with :09 to play, FG is NO good, and Eastern Washington upsets #25 Oregon State. edit: Before this, all EWU were known for is their red football field (yes, like the Smurf Turf in Boise, they have a RED football field)

    Why wasn't there 10 seconds run off when the Oregon St. WR got hurt with no time outs and 3 seconds left?

     

     

    Ok, just got to watch the play.. What happened is that the clock was actually stopped when the play was over due to the first down (clock stops while they reset the chains).. so the clock was not running at the time of the injury, so there was no 10 second run off.

    I've just learned that South Florida is demanding the game not count, due to false advertising, as there is no such state as McNeese in the US, so obviously "McNeese State" is a fraud on the american people ;)

    What's worse than having a FCS team come to your stadium week 1, score 31 points in a quarter, and 53 for the game, causing your team a humiliating defeat? Paying them $400,000 to come to your stadium week 1, score 31 points in a quarter, and 53 for the game causing your team a humiliating defeat.

     

    I'd issue a South Florida fans suicide watch, but, um, I'm not sure South Florida has any fans.

    Not sure, I don't get the PAC-12 Network, but I think the FG team was on with :09 to play (at least that's what the Fox Traq said..)

     

    Edit: Yeah, the FG was taken with :09 on the clock, and the missed FG ended at :02, so maybe there was an injury on the FG attempt

    my thoughts and the full group draw:

    ManYoo with the easy group (as usual) 

    Please explain how it's easy?

     

    Leverkusen, while up and coming, isn't in ManYoo's Class

     

    Shaktar shed a bunch of their top talent before this year 

    Real Sociedad is also eminently beatable

    From the Hit and Giggle part of Australia's tour:

     

    Aaron Finch launches 14 sixes in an innings of 156(nearly breaking the world record for fastest century) and the Aussies win the first 20 over game comfortably

    Can we bash our teams before we support Seattle instead (bah, the Revs playing in a pointyball stadium with no atmosphere)

     

    Seattle had supported lower level soccer pretty well, and the team made a lot of fan-friendly actions that made the fans feel like they were involved with the team (the fans elect the GM, etcetera)

     

    Fenerbache hopefully liked losing to Arsenal, as it's the last they'll be playing in Europe till 2015-16, as CAS declined their match-fixing appeal (they are thrown out of this year's Europa League and barred from Europe next season as well)
