Dolfan in NYC Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 That Toronto - Montreal game last night was damned fun. I never thought I'd say that about a 5-2 game. http://www.espnfc.us/major-league-soccer/19/blog/post/3007773/title-starved-toronto-fc-beats-montreal-impact-in-instant-classic-to-advance-to-mls-cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I woke up to a series of notifications about the Bournemouth game (I'm not signed up for Liv'pool spoilers). My head hurts. Watching now, but the result certainly highlights the importance of Joël Matip. God damn. Onwards and upwards. Going on yesterday's Hammers' performance at home against Arsenal and this match, next week's meeting could have 10+ goals should Matip not be the starting XI.

ChesterCopperpot Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 It does indeed - he was a big loss - thankfully he's said he won't be going to the AFCON With Matip - 11 games, conceded 9 goals - DWWWWDWWWDW. Without Matip - 3 games, conceded 9 goals - WLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Of the English teams, Man City has the most favourable situation - they can't draw Bayern, Real, PSG (same pot), or Barca (same group), or for that matter Arsenal or Leicester (same country). So they can only draw Atleti, Juve, Napoli, Monaco or Dortmund. And yeah, there's no easy draws in the last 16, but there's tough and there's tough.

Chaos Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Is noone else watching this MLS Cup? It's a sloppy game, and it feels like Toronto should have finished, but it's definitely a chippy, high drama game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any level of surprise there for you? Not really. Not sure if their success will be longterm, but I kind of expected them to be fast out of the gates. Much like Hoffenheim in the 08/09 seasin. Money is no issue for the club and their staff is quite good at developing a concept and buying players accordingly. It will be interesting to see how they will handle their first loss, though. Hoffenheim imploded in their first season after topping the league midseason, but still finished a decent 8th in the end. I hope for sth similar for Leipzig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
